Private Lessons & Coaches in Delaware, OH

Graduated from Northland High School, where my team was the #1 team in the country. I then pursued playing at The Ohio State University. I later transferred and finished at the University of Toledo. I am now in my 10th year of playing professional basketball overseas. With my experience, I can provide the knowledge and understanding of the game to help you achieve your goals.

With over 25 years dedicated to basketball, I blend strategic insight with enthusiastic instruction. I empower athletes to elevate their game through personalized training, fostering both skill and confidence. My commitment is to help you achieve your full potential on the court. I grew up in the paint as a power forward, battling under the rim, setting hard screens, and grabbing every rebound I could get my hands on. Then my growth spurt slowed, and my game had to evolve. I transitioned into a traditional point guard, learning how to control tempo, read defenses, and set my teammates up for success. That shift gave me something most players never get — firsthand experience playing both big and small positions, front court and back court. Because of that, I teach the game from every angle. I can break down post footwork for a forward, explain defensive rotations like a coach, or fine-tune ball handling and court vision for a guard. I understand not just what works, but why it works, and how to adapt it to any body type or skill level. Off the court, I approach conditioning like a scientist. I know how the body moves, recovers, and builds strength for basketball-specific performance. My training blends court skills with smart physical preparation so you’re faster, stronger, and able to outlast your competition. Whether you want to tighten your handle, develop a deadly midrange, dominate in the paint, or improve your stamina, I’ll help you build a complete game that fits who you are as a player.

Hi everyone! My name is Taylor Huffman, and I would love the opportunity to help your daughter grow her skills and expand her horizons in the sport of softball. I’ve been involved in softball for 18 years—as a player and as a coach. Over the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching, including three years as the head middle school softball coach at Hamilton Township Local Schools. While I primarily played catcher and third base, I was also considered a utility player and could fill in anywhere on the field as needed. Those two positions were just my main starting spots. If you have any questions or would like to reach out, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your athlete! Thank you! Taylor Huffman

"For me, coach Taylor was the only reason I didn’t give up on myself while playing softball throughout my middle school career. When I was on the edge of hanging up my cleats early, she supported me through every high and low I had ever encountered my entire middle school career. She has taught me a million and one things that I still continue to work on. She had taught me the mental and physical aspect of softball, always pushing me to become better and to play at my full potential. After I had finished playing softball with her as my coach, she continued to check up on me to see how I was doing with both travel and school teams. She always encouraged me to play my best and to become better no matter what level of softball I was at. To me, that is a real coach. If I had to describe a perfect coach or role model in two words, it’d simply be Coach Taylor.
