Smooth Skills Mission
To build stronger athletes and foster new relationships through basketball.
Sports, basketball especially, are centered on toughness, adaptability and consistency. These same key factors are also characteristics needed to excel in the real world. When teaching, I demand these characteristics. Nothing makes me as a coach feel better than seeing someone I’ve mentored accomplish great things, and through the game of basketball I can watch them grow into well rounded, open minded individuals ready to take on anything in their way.
I strive for excellence, and I take this game I love very serious. All workouts will run as such. I expect 100% effort and concentration, you will be pushed and you will be challenged both physically and mentally.
Smooth Skills Training is based on attention to detail. Every client/group is different, and workouts are treated as such. I have worked with boys and girls of all different ages and skill levels, so I can meet you wherever you are in your journey. Whether you want to make your middle school team, or you’re trying to go pro — I can help you.
To start the process contact me with your name, age, days/times you’re available and what exactly you would like to gain from this experience, whether you want to go pro, or you just want to be able to beat your brother, I want to know.
