Skill Lab is for players who want to improve, not players who need to be convinced to work.
You bring the effort. You listen, ask questions, complete every rep and compete. I bring the knowledge, the plan and the honest coaching needed to move your game forward.
Ready to be coached
You can take direct feedback, make adjustments and keep going.
Willing to do the work
The session matters, but what you repeat afterwards matters too.

04 About me
BUILT FROM
EXPERIENCE,
NOT THEORY.
I grew up playing basketball, competed in top teams throughout high school, then earned a full ride scholarship to play at Oakland City University in the United States.
Four years of US college basketball gave me first-hand knowledge of the standards, skill and decision making needed at a higher level. I now pass that knowledge on without filler, fake hype or wasted reps.

05 The development rule
I DO NOT TRAIN
THE GOAL.
I DEVELOP THE PLAYER
CAPABLE OF REACHING IT.
A player might want to become an elite scorer, make a representative team or earn a college opportunity. That outcome gives us direction. It does not automatically become today's workout.
The future outcome, role or level the player is working towards.
The current skills, habits and decisions that make the goal possible.
- 01GoalChoose the direction.
- 02RequirementsDefine what that level demands.
- 03Current evidenceAssess what survives now.
- 04Gaps and prerequisitesFind what blocks the next step.
- 05Current processTrain what the player is ready to own.
- 06ReassessProgress when the skill holds up.
06 What gets developed
MORE THAN
A BAG OF MOVES.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT
Footwork, handles, shooting and finishing that hold up at game speed.
GAME IQ
Reading defenders, making decisions and understanding why an action works.
CONFIDENCE
Confidence built through preparation, repetition and proof, not empty motivation.
07 The work behind the game
BUILT IN
THE REPS.
08 How it starts
APPLY. SHOW UP.
WORK. IMPROVE.
