About
Tailor the needs and development of the game to each individual student
I get a chance to give back what I was taught to make others better. I love the game of basketball. It has given me so much, and I just want to pay it forward. I enjoy coaching and learning, and watching the progression of an individual. It's a universal language which expands beyond mere words.
