Beginner training plan

Your first lessonIn our first session, we’ll keep it simple but effective. We’ll start with some light ball-handling drills to get you comfortable with the ball — focusing on control, staying low, and using both hands. Then we’ll work on basic 1-2 step layups from both sides to make sure your footwork and form are solid. This session also gives me a chance to see where your skill set is at, so I can understand what you’re good at and what we need to work on. From there, I’ll build a plan to help you get better every time you step on the court.

How it works

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonThis session is all about taking your game to the next level. We’ll start with advanced ball-handling drills to improve your speed, control, and ability to break defenders down. You’ll work on combo moves like hesitation, crossover, and behind-the-back dribbles. Then we’ll focus on finishing with contact — using both hands to score under pressure. Finally, we’ll add in some shooting off the dribble and pulling up from mid-range. This lesson sets the tone for advanced skills and game-speed work.

Lesson 11+At this stage, we focus on perfecting your individual skills while integrating advanced team concepts. You’ll work on mastering your go-to moves and developing counters to common defenses. We’ll dive deep into reading the game—anticipating opponent’s moves, making split-second decisions, and controlling the tempo. Shooting workouts will challenge your range, accuracy, and consistency under fatigue. Defense will focus on leadership, communication, and locking down the best scorers. Conditioning and mental training become critical, so we incorporate drills that build endurance, focus, and resilience. This level is about preparing you to dominate on any court and be a true leader on your team.

Lesson 4-10Over these sessions, we’ll continue sharpening your skills and expanding your basketball IQ. You’ll master advanced moves like jab-step variations, euro-step finishes, and quick decision-making off the dribble. Shooting drills will focus on consistency from beyond the arc and clutch free throws under pressure. We’ll incorporate game-like situations, including pick-and-roll execution, spacing, and off-ball movement. Defensively, you’ll develop techniques for switching, closeouts, and reading opponents’ tendencies. Conditioning and mental toughness drills will help you stay sharp and competitive from start to finish. The goal is to prepare you fully for high-level competition with a complete skill set and smart mindset.

Lesson 2-3In these sessions, we’ll build on the advanced ball-handling skills by adding more complex moves like the spin, step-back, and in-and-out dribble. You’ll work on improving your footwork to create space and increase your shooting range with consistent pull-up jumpers. We’ll also introduce situational drills that simulate game pressure—making quick decisions, reading defenders, and attacking the basket with confidence. Defense-wise, we’ll focus on advanced footwork, positioning, and anticipation to become a lockdown defender.

Youth players

Working with kidsWhen working with kids, I focus on keeping the sessions fun, energetic, and simple. I use games, challenges, and positive reinforcement to teach the fundamentals. My goal is to build their confidence, attention span, and love for the game, while making sure they understand basic skills through repetition and encouragement.

Working with teenagersWith teens, I take a more structured and competitive approach. I emphasize discipline, advanced skill development, and basketball IQ. I also focus on goal-setting, accountability, and preparing them for higher-level play—whether that’s high school, AAU, or college. I challenge them mentally and physically while still creating a supportive environment.

What you need to bringBasketball shoes (indoor if possible) A full water bottle Athletic clothing A positive attitude and focus (Optional) Your own basketball if you have one Let me know if you have any questions. Be ready to work! 🏀💪

What I can bringI bring energy, experience, and a real passion for developing young athletes. I know how to connect with both kids and teens, meeting them where they are and helping them grow on and off the court. I bring leadership, patience, and strong communication. Whether it's building confidence, teaching fundamentals, or preparing athletes for the next level, I come ready every day with a ball in my hand and a purpose on the court. I create an environment where players can work hard, have fun, and develop into both better athletes and better people.

For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my love for basketball while guiding young athletes through their development both on and off the court. Coaching isn't just what I do—it’s who I am. My journey has been filled with moments of growth, perseverance, and achievement, not only for the players I mentor but for me as a coach as well. I take pride in creating a positive, disciplined, and competitive environment where athletes are encouraged to push their limits while having fun. My coaching philosophy blends technical skill development, basketball IQ, and character-building to help each player reach their full potential. Whether we’re perfecting footwork or learning life lessons through the game, my goal is to build confident, coachable, and resilient individuals. I continue to coach actively and stay connected to the game through camps, team development, and AAU programs. There’s no greater reward than watching my players succeed, not only in basketball but in life.
