    This 1 on 1 lesson was exactly what I wanted. Jonathan was great. I’m a 44 year old guy with a little basketball experience a long time ago and the goal of getting to the point that I can join a pickup game of basketball at the YMCA. He started basic and layered more and more complexity as we went. After my first practice I feel like I can do this and Jonathan understands how to get me there. I’m really excited. I highly, highly recommend Basketball Skill Development, no matter what age or experience you are.
