How did you get started teaching?
I got started teaching because I feel I have knowledge that can help student athletes excell at any level. I wanted to give any kid at any level a chance to fulfill his/her dream at playing basketball at a high level. I think giving kids ultimate confidence along with a functioning skill level, sky is the limit
What types of students have you worked with?
Ive worked with every level. Ive worked with the player with the skill level of the last player on the bench all the way to the "star player". I treat all players the same. We work hard and with a focus. At the same time you have to keep the game fun for the students.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find the right fit for you..... AND hire me because I am your fit ;)
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Student should have an idea of what type of player they desire to be. Use your imagination and dont let anybody put you in a box and tell you what typr of player you are. Become the type of player YOU want to become.
