Advanced training plan
Your first lessonThe first session is an in-depth evaluation of the athlete’s skill level, game tendencies, and overall basketball IQ. We focus on identifying strengths, weaknesses, and areas that can immediately elevate performance. This includes advanced ball-handling, shooting mechanics under pressure, finishing through contact, and decision-making reads. I also assess how the athlete performs at game speed to build a customized development plan moving forward.
Lesson 11+At this stage, the focus shifts to mastery, consistency, and performing at a high level in real game environments. Athletes will refine advanced skill sets, improve mental toughness, and develop a deeper understanding of spacing, tempo, and game flow. The goal is to prepare athletes to compete at the next level with confidence, discipline, and a complete skill set.
Lesson 4-10During sessions four through ten, training becomes highly specialized based on the athlete’s position, play style, and goals. We incorporate advanced scoring moves, pick-and-roll reads, shot creation, and defensive positioning. Workouts are designed to simulate real game situations, focusing on pace, timing, and decision-making under pressure to translate skills directly into competition.
Lesson 2-3In sessions two and three, we begin implementing a structured training system focused on tightening fundamentals at a high level while introducing game-speed execution. Athletes will work on advanced ball-handling combinations, shooting off the dribble, and finishing in traffic. Emphasis is placed on efficiency, footwork, and making the right reads in live situations.
Youth players
Working with teenagersWhen working with teenagers, I focus on high-level skill development, game understanding, and accountability. Sessions are structured at game speed and tailored to the athlete’s position, strengths, and goals. I emphasize advanced ball handling, shot creation, finishing through contact, and decision-making in real game situations.
I also challenge athletes mentally by teaching basketball IQ, reading defenses, and understanding spacing and timing. Teenagers are pushed to train with purpose, intensity, and discipline so their skills translate directly into games. My goal is to help them build confidence, compete at a higher level, and prepare for varsity, AAU, and potential college opportunities.
