I’m Malcolm Albert, a Division III basketball player at Connecticut College and a lifelong student of the game. Growing up in Seattle, I developed my skills competing with Seattle Select AAU before completing a postgraduate season at Kimball Union Academy, where I had the opportunity to compete against high-level talent and continue growing as both a player and a leader. As a 6’4” shooting guard, my game is built around shooting, basketball IQ, and making winning plays. I pride myself on being a reliable catch-and-shoot player, creating scoring opportunities with smart movement, and constantly working to improve every part of my game. Basketball has taught me that success comes from consistency, discipline, and attention to detail. Those same principles are what I bring into every training session. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your game to the next level, my goal is to help you build confidence, sharpen your fundamentals, and develop skills that translate directly to game situations. I’m passionate about helping players improve because I know firsthand what it takes to grow through hard work and dedication.
