JD Skills Academy

About

With over 15 years of experience, playing on more than 23 different professional teams including 3 NBA teams.(Spurs, Rapters, and Mavs) The JD Skills Academy is the perfect fit for athletes wanting to take their skills to the next level. In my experience consistency is one of the most important traits to have. You build consistency then everything else falls in place. Come train like a pro with a pro.

I really enjoy the process. Helping someone develop their game and seeing the improvement.

I approach basketball training like tutoring. When kids aren’t doing well in school parent tend to get a tutor. We are basketball tutors trying to prepare young athletes for their quiz or final exam which is making a team or playing in games.. but it starts with confidence.

I was able to sit in a few sessions. I was able to see the kids improvement. For example. The kid I took to the skills a academy could not dribble the ball and move the cone round the line without picking up the cone. One day 3 he was doing it the cone did not leave the ground. They did complex drills and the kids was able to understand the instructions and was able to perform what was asked. The coach was kind but knew how to get the kids to listen.

My experience training with Justin is you have to be tough and go 100% at every drill you do with him.

Outside of my son showing extreme levels of comfortability, the professionalism and patience with working with children, and the overall consistency of the training each day; Train With a Pro (W/Justin on my son’s behalf) has boosted his confidence, willingness to work harder/stronger, and has simply given him the reassurance needed while working on his short and long term goals as young athlete!
