I consider myself less of a “coach” and more of a partner/teammate to the players I train. Their goals are my goals and, as a result, we assess and grow together in their development. Being a player myself, I am adamant about coaching from a place of relatability and helping them to understand the exact purpose of everything we do and just why it is necessary. Through repetition, attention to detail, and hard as-well-as smart work, I offer players skills training that translates directly to game play. All work that is put in has meaning and contributes to the player being as efficient as possible in whatever role he or she is given and then some. Ball handling, shooting, agility and footwork, defense, functional strength, mobility, and body control- it all applies, no matter the position. My philosophy is to develop the entire player, both mentally and physically, while still prioritizing their given role specific to their team or organization. I go to games and study a player’s film in order to evaluate where the player’s game is, how they are utilizing the training, and what areas need to be given more attention based on where they are in their development. I also encourage the player to regularly evaluate their game themselves so that their perspective can also be taken into account. This gives me, as their trainer, an opportunity to determine as well as sharpen their IQ and learn how they see the game as they grow as a player. My understanding and approach to the game of basketball has been continuously developed and refined throughout my almost 25 years of experience in the sport. Along the way as a player, I have had the pleasure of competing against and training alongside some of the world’s best basketball talent. While I have always been a fierce competitor, I was also very intent on being a student of the game. Constantly observing who I considered to be the best of the best, their mentality and habits in work ethic, and their approach to preparation and execution to make myself aware of any and all areas I could improve upon and then using these takeaways to elevate my own game. Based on my love and dedication to basketball and my natural instinct and ability to be a teacher, I guess it was always inevitable that I would find myself paying it forward in some capacity. I have come to love teaching the game just as much as I do playing it. I think the thing that gripped me most about being a trainer in the beginning was noticing how helping to develop other players skill sets was in turn making me a better player- almost automatically! I began having so much fun watching players become more skilled and more confident in themselves week to week. It was very gratifying for me and I became more and more passionate about training over time. Who I am as a trainer has not been molded solely by me being a player and student of the game. My habits and attention to detail definitely didn’t come out of nowhere and weren’t formed by myself alone. I owe much of my development to exceptional mentorship. I have had the honor and privilege to learn from amazing trainers and coaches that have selflessly given me direction and blueprints on how it is done effectively, using bits from each of their methods and philosophies to form my own identity as a trainer. I am proud of the success that I’ve had thus far as a skill development coach, offering quality training to countless players, thanks to the knowledge I have attained from these mentors.
