About
-I’m very passionate about helping the youth improve their skill level as well as IQ in the game of basketball. I can insure that working with me on a regular basis will improve the confidence as well as the overall skill set of the client. I have been doing basketball trainings for about five years now during my offseasons as a player. I most recently became a full time trainer, which means all my energy and effort will be put into improving my clients as an overall basketball player.
-As a basketball player, I was fortunate enough to have played on every level and actually been successful each year during my playing career. I became a junior college All American my second season out of highschool. I earned a division 1 scholarship to Indiana State University (Home of Larry Bird) shortly after. I then transferred back closer to home for my senior campaign to Angelo State University where I was awarded Newcomer of the Year as well as First Team All Conference. After my senior season I went on to play Three seasons in Europe. Including First League Finland. First League England and First League Georgia most recently.
