“The lesson with Ali was quite engaging, especially since my son loved learning about the layup technique, which he’s been eager to master. Though we still hope to tackle mid-range shots next, I appreciate how Ali clearly explains fundamentals without rushing through. It’s quite helpful and, honestly, still leaves room for us to build further skills. Still, if you're looking for a coach who can balance instruction and patience, trying a lesson with Ali could be worth it.”George, parent

“Coach Chris was awesome. My son has been playing for a couple of years and had not learned some of the fundamentals that the coach taught him. He listened closely to my son and tried to understand where he was in his development before recommending what to work on.”Anuj K., parent

“Coach Eric was my son's first 8-10 yr old youth league basketball coach. My son is slightly autistic and was very shy and a beginner when he started, but Coach Eric was very tolerant and patient with him. Coach worked with my son for several years until his teenage years. I would definitely recommend Eric to any parent looking for a coach to work with their kids, especially if they are young and/or beginners.”Eli W., parent · shared by Eric

I have been playing basketball since the age of 10. My brother was on the high school team and I have trained with him growing up almost everyday. I played on my college intramural team and have taken lessons from professionals that played in college. I regularly play in basketball leagues that even have players over 6’8” tall. I am well versed in young children as I have taught young students English from three years up. (I have my own kids these ages) I am bilingual Mandarin and can explain concepts well in both languages. I am patient, kind, and enjoy seeing others achieve their goals. I look forward to teaching any students be well rounded individuals not just in sports, but in life.Go to profile96GreatTop rated
