Xavier McDaniel Jr., son of the Seattle SuperSonics legend, has transitioned from his basketball career to focus on skill and strength training. A native of Columbia, South Carolina, Xavier first gained recognition as a high school champion at Hammond School, playing alongside the renowned Seventh Woods. He continued to excel in college basketball, spending two years at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley under the esteemed coach Lew Hill, where he developed his skills for a professional career. Unfortunately, Xavier’s journey in professional basketball was impacted by a series of injuries, limiting him to two and a half full seasons across international leagues and the American TBL. Now, shifting his focus, he is completing his bachelor’s degree in psychology at Eastern Washington University, through Bellevue College. His mission is to combine his passion for sports and psychology to help individuals heal from trauma, focusing on the connection between mind, body, and spirit. As a coach, Xavier uses basketball as a tool not just for athletic development, but to guide others toward personal growth, whether that leads to a career in professional sports or simply a more balanced life off the court.
"Coach Xavier is wonderful with the kids. He’s patient, encouraging, and knows how to explain things in a way they understand. The kids feel comfortable and motivated around him, and we’ve seen their confidence grow. We really appreciate his positive energy and dedication.

"The lesson with Abdou was good, especially the part about improving my ball control skills, which I found quite helpful. Though I think I could benefit from more drills focused on quick passes, the overall approach was steady and encouraging. Maybe next time, a bit more emphasis on tactical positioning would be beneficial, but I still feel positive about my progress so far. If you’re aiming to sharpen specific soccer techniques without overwhelming, Abdou seems like a solid choice.

"My favorite part was how Sky carefully explained the basics like grip, stance, posture, and alignment while watching my swing closely. I liked trying different clubs to get a feel for each one. This session was very practical and well-paced. If you're looking to sharpen your fundamentals, definitely give Sky’s lessons a try! 😊

"The lesson with Katya was quite good. She was very patient with my son, who’s still new to tennis and had never held a racket before. She set clear goals that helped him feel at ease, and surprisingly, he started to follow her directions pretty well. Still, it was encouraging to see his comfort grow so quickly. If you're considering trying a lesson, Katya might be worth a shot.
