Basketball became my sanctuary in 5th grade, serving as an outlet during challenging times. As I progressed in the sport, the pressure to perform began overshadowing the joy I once found in playing. This experience motivated me to transition into skills training, with a strong desire to help others enjoy the game. My primary goal is to ensure that players not only have fun but also maintain their confidence in the face of challenges and obstacles that basketball inevitably presents.

With a specialized focus on post-game, fundamental skills, and performance, our training goes beyond the court to instill confidence and personal growth. With extensive coaching experience, including 5+ years private training, D1 experience, I'm dedicated to empowering players of all levels to reach their full potential. Join us at Thrive and unlock the true essence of basketball.
