"Hey, so I had a lesson with Steven recently and I guess I’d say it was pretty good overall. The highlight was definitely practicing my skills, which felt quite focused. Though I still want to learn something new, I did leave with a better understanding of some fundamentals. Honestly, it's been encouraging to see how steady the progress is, and I think I’ll be coming back for more. If you're on the lookout for someone who really helps you build on what you already know, you might want to give Steven a shot.
With over a decade on the court, I cultivate fundamental skills and strategic thinking in aspiring basketball players. My experience fosters growth and a lifelong passion for the game. I help students build confidence through detailed and constructive lessons.

As a former college and professional basketball player, I’ve experienced firsthand how the game can shape a person’s discipline, confidence, and love for competition. What I enjoy most about teaching young kids is giving them the chance to discover those same lessons early in their journey. Basketball taught me how to work hard, play as part of a team, and push through challenges—values I want to pass on to the next generation. Seeing a child light up when they finally master a new skill or gain confidence on the court is more rewarding than any win I’ve had as a player. For me, teaching kids isn’t just about basketball fundamentals, it’s about helping them grow as people while building a lifelong love for the game.
