"The lesson with Daryl focused quite a bit on shooting drills, which really helped me refine my technique. Though reviewing what I’m working on can sometimes feel repetitive, I still appreciated the emphasis on solid fundamentals. Still, I think going over progress more frequently might make the lessons even more effective. But yeah, I’d say try Daryl if you want structured training that pays attention to detail.
For the past 15 years, I've cultivated a deep passion for basketball, blending skill with a positive approach. My coaching focuses on tailored development, empowering players to reach their full potential on and off the court.
"Kids enjoyed the lesson and had fun, a good mix of drills and playing
