"Getting a really encouraging lesson with Sarah was quite helpful, especially as I feel I've continued growing my skills and confidence overall. Though I’d appreciate some more specific drills tailored to my game, I think I’m heading in the right direction. Still, I might need to keep practicing to refine my shot and handle better. I’d probably suggest working on that next time, but I’m glad I tried her lesson.

Basketball is what I dedicated myself to as a kid. Through the years I have had many trainers and professionals guide me to a level that I am proud of today. I spent 4 years at University of Indianapolis playing for the Grey Hounds. I was the 15th player in their history to score 1000 points and grab 500 rebounds, I also hold the all time and single season record for blocks. After being at a basketball exposure tour for 2 days in Portugal, I was immediately flown to Oldenburg Germany to begin my brief but educational professional basketball career. Over the years I’ve learned what is most valued at each level and how to show other coaches you have what they need. My love for sport is what drives me most, and I strive to instill that love in the players I train.

Jesse
5.0 player and experienced coach. I've played in 100-plus venues in 5 years. I love working with all levels of students. If you have a tennis court in your complex, I’ll travel to you and do a lesson on your home court. Even if you’ve only dabbled in racquet sports, I can show you how the skills learned in sports we played growing up can transfer to the pickleball court. Pickleball is great as it gets you off the couch, you’ll make new friends, get a decent workout and use your brain to make lots of split-second decisions about how and where you want to hit the ball each time.

I have been playing basketball ever since I can remember. My family has always been very athletic. My siblings played basketball as well as my parents. My grandma told me a story about how I used to shoot a little basketball into a 10 foot hoop and I would make it. I play in the point guard position. I work very hard at what I do so that makes me advance in my skill for the sport. When I really started to realize I had a passion for it was in 6th grade. We had a lot of new people therefore our team didn't blend great. But even with my team being the way it was I still put everything that I had into it. Two things at the end of the season happened to me that made me realized that if I worked at it I could do great things.

I've played soccer - mostly in the UK - for more than 35 years. At a high-level and also for fun. Recently I've coached school teams in the UK and even more recently - since moving to Indiana - coached Rec soccer youth teams and indoor soccer youth teams. I try to ensure soccer training is always fun and nearly always with a ball. I'm a huge advocate of team play and "pass and move".

With 38 years of basketball instruction under my belt, I foster player growth and the love of hoops! My foundation in basketball development began on the court, not in an office. I launched Get There Training, a basketball academy in Albuquerque, NM, where I personally trained youth, collegiate, and professional athletes, helping them reach their peak performance. I was privileged to serve on the staff for the LeBron James Skills Academy for three consecutive years, collaborating with high-performance trainers like Ganon Baker, and contributing to one of the most prestigious player development platforms in the country. Was also a basketball coach at NM State University for 3 years.
