🚨 CALLING ALL HOOPERS 🚨

If you know that defense wins games, why haven’t you been training it?

I’m offering defensive basketball training sessions this summer for players looking to improve their on-ball defense, footwork, effort, conditioning, and defensive IQ.

I guard you in live sessions to work on decision making, shot creation and space creation.

As a college basketball player and defensive specialist, I know how important it is to have a craft in the art of defense.

Defense is:
🧠 Mental
💪 Effort
🎯 Technique
🏃 Conditioning

Credentials and highlight videos are linked in my bio.

Hendrix Cayo ‘28

Hendrix came in the gym last Sunday for some work ✝️. He is going to keep developing, constantly trying to work on his game. We worked on ball handling, downhill work, dribbling while tired and we also did half/fullcourt defense working on his defense, pace and control with the ball.

Ray beat the ☀️ today, got in the gym at 6 am to get some work in. We worked on downhill attacks from the middle, then got into defense: hips, slides, staying glued to the ball handler. He’s been putting in the work and is going to make an immediate impact his sophomore season 🔒💪 #explorepage #basketball #sunday #NoDaysOff #defense #hoop taken in New Hampshire by @thatdefensivecoach

Back in the lab. 📈

2 months post foot surgery and Jaylen Hunter-Coleman has been eager to step back on a court again. This was one of his first workouts back and he worked really hard today! We focused on building back up his scoring ability through progressive combo moves, shot varieties, getting his feel back in the game.

Jaylen will attend The Newman School in the fall, has one Division 1 offer and is receiving D1 interests at all levels!

If you’ve been injured remember that the grind doesn’t stop when things get hard. That’s when it starts.

Despite the 90° weather, my guy Sam said he still wanted to get work in and push himself today! He wanted to work on a variety of things today ESPECIALLY DEFENSE and thats what we did. While only starting basketball a few years ago he’s improved a lot since I first seen him play. Glad I was able to start giving him some knowledge today on this beautiful Sunday!
