Private Basketball Training & Coaches in Cumberland, IN

Basketball is what I dedicated myself to as a kid. Through the years I have had many trainers and professionals guide me to a level that I am proud of today. I spent 4 years at University of Indianapolis playing for the Grey Hounds. I was the 15th player in their history to score 1000 points and grab 500 rebounds, I also hold the all time and single season record for blocks. After being at a basketball exposure tour for 2 days in Portugal, I was immediately flown to Oldenburg Germany to begin my brief but educational professional basketball career. Over the years I’ve learned what is most valued at each level and how to show other coaches you have what they need. My love for sport is what drives me most, and I strive to instill that love in the players I train.
