INTENSE SMALL GROUP SESSIONS

Intense Small Group Sessions are a great choice to improve your athletic performance. Through a strategic mix of drills and real game situations, you'll become confident and take your game to the next level! These training sessions focus on the Marathon Mentality, game time readiness, mental toughness, and strong, aggressive play. I'll work with you to develop the proper mindset to become an elite player. I can relate to athletes because I have been in your shoes before as a former professional, collegiate, high school, and AAU player.

GROUP SESSIONS

Do you want to train with players from your club or high school team? Group sessions are ideal for building chemistry, teamwork, and competition. All basketball training is based on the players' needs and overall development.

"Athletes, please stop doing all these crazy drills that don't apply to your game. A trainer or coach should be able to show you how this translates to your game. If he or she can't, stop the madness now." Deion Sanders
