Request Private Training
One player. My full attention.
You get my full attention. We can slow down a movement, fix a detail and repeat it until it starts to feel more comfortable. Beginners, school and rep players, and adults are welcome.
Working toward a goal
Focus on a player’s priorities, such as shooting technique, using the weaker hand or preparing for tryouts.
Connecting practice to games
Work through decisions, positioning and applying a skill under pressure.
What I coach.
Tell me what you’re working toward. I’ll build the session around it, from the warm-up to the last rep. Your shot, your handle, your movement: I’ll show you what to change and give you time to work on it.
- Ball handling and control
- Shooting form, footwork and finishing
- Defence, positioning and reading the game
- Basketball movement and conditioning
Feedback you can see.

From players and parents
What training feels like.
★★★★★
"Honestly didn't expect results this fast. My son went from barely touching the ball in games to being one of the more confident kids on his team. He actually wants to go to practice now, which says everything."
★★★★★
"Trained all summer before tryouts and made the high school team for the first time. Coach didn't let me slack but always broke things down so I understood why. My handle and my finishing are both way better."
