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.

I'm a former college tennis player from Spain, where I grew up playing on clay and eventually moved to the U.S. on a tennis scholarship. After completing grad school and starting a job in Seattle a couple of years ago, I picked up pickleball and haven't looked back since. I travel around the state playing tournaments, love meeting new people, and have coached friends and acquaintances along the way. Currently a 5.0 player, I'm always striving to elevate my game to the next level.

"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! 😊

"Wow, Daniel's lesson really helped me with precise adjustments for my kitchen play and serve , I appreciated the focus on technique but still feel I need to work on strategy, though. It’s encouraging, and I’d be open to trying another lesson to build on what I learned.

I’m playing tennis for 19 years. 8 years coaching experience. Sometimes still participate in tournaments by myself. I provide advanced tennis lessons, as well as explanation how to enjoy the game and stay healthy.
"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.
