About
I have been training kids ages 3 all the way through post-high school level for the 15 years. I have coached at the high school level and junior high level. Four years ago one of the AAU teams I coached won the national championship. I have been a personal trainer for years and run a yearly international basketball camp.
On a personal level, I am full-scholarship athlete and have played several seasons as a professional player.
I love seeing growth in my student atheletes. Taking a kid from struggling in an area to mastery. I love the entire process.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I will assess their current level of fitness and basketball knowledge and work to push them to their highest potential. I will take them down to the basics and explain to them the fundamentals of the game. I will discuss their strengths and weaknesses and areas they want to improve.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have played at the college and professional level. I currently co-own a post-grad basketball academy in San Antonio, helping young men build their skills and confidence to assist them in gaining college scholarships.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$40-$60 per hour per athlete.
How did you get started teaching?
Working camps in college.
What types of students have you worked with?
Beginners all the way through professional athletes.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure you are hiring someone with knowledge of the game and they are able to make a workout for YOU, not just a universal workout. You need a trainer that can assess where you are and work at building you up from the level you are currently.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Each student needs to think about what they are good at and what they need to work on before they meet with a trainer.
I think the only way you can know if a trainer/teacher is a right fit for you is go through a session and experience their training.
