Basketball is one of the most popular sports played all around the world. Successful players learn skills that can help them on and off the court, and ultimately for life. Two of my favorite basketball quotes include:
“Everything negative—pressure, challenges—are all an opportunity for me to rise.” –Kobe Bryant
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” –Michael Jordan

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I use the initial session to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each athlete and share this evaluation with each athlete and their guardian. Afterward, I set up an individual training plan to master basketball fundamentals for each athlete that includes drills that can be practiced at home and in-game situations.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
PhD in Education with a specialization in leadership, professional development, and strategy
