"Thought me how to play soccer from the beginning because l did not even know how to kick soccer ball, l learnt how to kick properly,how to run and drivel with the ball,do accurate passing to team mates and eventually join to play with my team mates for the linden Rest center soccer team on soccer leagues.

"My son Jim is in high school and was focusing on trying out for his team in Seattle. They play against some top-tier teams, like Lincoln. Pavel does what our premier coaches don't do. He focused on my son's skill, from start to finish, from many angles. One particular drill involved five different stations, all well thought of, with different skills tested. When my son went back he felt like he could navigate high pressure situations, with many defenders coming at him. I've seen my son change before my eyes, and it's fantastic. I highly recommend Pavel

"Hannah was a great role model for the team great skill work and motivator on and off the floor so many things I can say about all of them but it’s too much.

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.

I only started teaching during 2019 covid pandemic, when nobody had anything to do. I gathered a group of my friends who had 0 volleyball experience to start playing beach volleyball at Flannagan's. I found it extremely rewarding to see my teammates learn, improve and developing passion for the game of volleyball. One of my friends is now a coach himself for 11U volleyball club! Would be focusing on newer to intermediate players upskilling on their fundamentals.
