17 Basketball coaches & instructors for lessons in Palos Verdes Estates, CA

I’m a lifelong student of the game, raised in a family of coaches, and I’ve spent years in the gym studying how players actually improve. I care about the details—footwork, decision-making, and building skills that show up in real games. Every session is focused on helping players grow their confidence, understand the game, and become more effective when it matters. I built my own game around efficiency—shooting over 60% from three with a 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio—and that same approach is what I now use to help players improve and reach their potential. Above all, my goal is to help players develop a genuine love for the game that lasts a lifetime.

I have various playing and coaching experiences. I started my career in the 7th grade, coming off the end of the bench. I was able to work my way up and became a four-year varsity player. In my senior year of high school, I was team captain, a 1st-team all-league selection, and team MVP. I went on to play 2 years collegiately (1 year at the NCAA D3 level, one at the Junior college). From seeing many different levels, I understand the game well and can help other players reach their potential. Nothing beats hard work, knowledge, and a good coach. Let's get to work!!
