About

Retired Pro: 6 years of international professional basketball experience. I’ve been working, mentoring and training youth to pro athletes for 10 years and counting. I specialize in overall player development. I believe IQ and fundamentals are the foundation of an athlete’s game and then everything else falls into place. Our training program is set up differently by each individual athlete. I don’t believe in training every athlete the same way due to personalities, body type, skill level, IQ and athleticism. My passion to see each and every one of my athletes get better and succeed outside of basketball is what drives me.

    Frequently asked questions

    Sessions are usually 1 hr long for 6th-12th graders. 45 mins for 3rd-5th grade. We start off with questions of what the clients wants to accomplish short term and long term. I explain the type of work it will require to get to that destination and we work. We start off with form shooting, dribble pull-ups, basic basketball handling drills. I then check their balance and footwork with a balance board and speed ladder. We then determine what position will play for their school or organization, I put together a package that concentrates on fundamentals and IQ. We work on these things using heavy balls, cones, bags, dribbling goggles ect. Afterwards we sit and talk for 5mins or so and discuss the plan moving forward.

    Traveled the world playing pro basketball. Has spent the last 9 years coaching and training many youth and a few professional athletes all over the globe. Started the “MP3 Basketball Skills Academy”, a training program used to share my knowledge of the game of basketball to help players improve their skills.

    I train and work with kids and adults of ALL skill sets. Changing lives on and off the floor, one dribble at a time. 

    I've worked with students ranging from 6 years old to professional aged adults over the past years. 

    I recently attended a few high school and college graduations of some of the current and former students. 

    Make sure that you're searching for someone who can help instill confidence and broaden your basketball IQ along with building your skill set.
