Training Great Athletes

Transform your child’s basketball skills and help them reach their potential on and off the court.

Confidence Building

Skills Training

Strategic Thinking

Value #1: Encourage Great Athletes

I believe a great basketball player is also a great athlete. I prepare my students to be great athletes, by improving their speed, strength, and agility. Through positive encouragement and challenge, my students excel in their physical and mental fitness.

Value #2: Develop Game Awareness

Basketball is one of the few games that is as much mentally challenging as physically challenging.

One must become a student of the game.

It is not enough to know how to cross someone over, or dunk on someone. One must understand how to pick and choose their spots, so their actions positively affect their team.

Value #3: Build Game-Time Skills

Together, we develop mental and physical training, but we also learn and sharpen key basketball skills.

I prepare my clients by teaching them how to position their body, build up their eye-hand coordination, improve their balance and hone their awareness when dribbling.

“Concentration and determination are the margins of victory.”
