I’ve played in college, I've coached at the top levels in high school, and trained kids of all ages and backgrounds. Many of which have gone on to have successful basketball careers in college. I am a USA Basketball Certified Trainer and have participated in and directed multiple skills clinics and camps.
My driving force is to help players be the best basketball versions of themselves. I teach this through developing game-useful skills, repetition, and positive reinforcement. By breaking down basketball skills into “micro-skills” there exists a natural fluidity in a player’s development.
This provides an easier understanding for players to grasp, and a step-by-step process of how to shoot it, dribble, pass it and defend it. As a trainer, I periodically attend games to see how the skills are transferring, as well as study game films to help provide guidance to players if I am not available to watch live.
As a parent, you can rest assured that your child's basketball development is in the hands of a coach who genuinely loves the game and is knowledgeable in a wide range of basketball-related topics. You can be sure that your young athlete is getting top-notch coaching from a coach who is dedicated to assisting them in realizing their full potential on the court when you hire a USA Basketball Certified Coach.
As a USA Basketball Certified Coach, you can be confident that you are getting the best possible instruction for your young basketball player. USA Basketball certification is a must-have credential to look for when searching for a coach. Being certified by USA Basketball is a clear sign that the coach is at the top of their game, with the expertise and skills needed to provide top-quality instruction.
Safe Environment - The USA Basketball certification program places a high priority on player safety by providing training in injury prevention, emergency response, and concussion care. This guarantees that instructors are well-equipped to provide a safe environment for learning and play for their players.
Background Checks - USA Basketball-certified coaches go through a background check in addition to safety training. This helps foster the development of a safer and more encouraging learning environment by preventing those with a previous record of inappropriate behavior from educating young basketball players.
Accreditation - Safety is given top consideration by the USA Basketball accreditation program. You can be sure that safety is a top priority and that your young athlete is learning and playing in a secure environment by selecting a USA Basketball-certified coach.
