There workouts were pretty challenging but geared towards me specifically to get better as an individual. Other trainers or coaches usually just throw you a couple drills that they give everyone else and it seems really generic.

I loved him as a trainer, he gave me so much insight into why we were doing each drill and how it translates to real games. It made a big difference because I got to understand each action and no longer just felt like I was doing random drills.

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonThe first lesson is always an assessment to see what skills each player has and what it is that needs the most immediate attention.

Lesson 11+This is where players should be comfortable and confident knowing and displaying fundamentals at a core level.

Lesson 4-10Implementation of what we learned into more advanced drill work while explaining how and why each skill works.

Lesson 2-3Usually this is where basic fundamentals are taught and explained. This includes the proper way to dribble, execute moves, shooting form and defensive stance.

Youth players

Working with kids I adapt my basketball lessons to focus on fun, simplicity, and building a strong foundation. At this age, it’s less about competition and more about developing basic skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting through creative, game-based drills. I use lots of visual demonstrations, keep instructions short and clear, and make sure every drill feels like a game—whether it’s ‘Red Light, Green Light’ for dribbling or relay races for passing. I also make sure to rotate activities quickly to match their attention span and ensure everyone feels involved and successful, regardless of skill level.

How it works

Working with teenagersWhen adapting basketball lessons for teenagers, I focus on increasing the intensity, structure, and complexity of the sessions. Unlike younger kids, teens are ready for more advanced skill work, tactical awareness, and game-like scenarios. I introduce drills that challenge their decision-making, emphasize conditioning, and incorporate small-sided games like 1v1, 3v3, or situational scrimmages to improve basketball IQ. I also tailor sessions to individual and team goals—whether it’s refining shooting form, improving weak-hand finishing, or learning defensive rotations. At this age, I also stress accountability, encouraging players to track their progress and reflect on their performance. Most importantly, I keep the environment competitive but positive—helping teens build confidence, leadership skills, and a deeper understanding of the game.
