Introduction
Students who take lessons with me seem to progress quickly. I do not spend any time on unnecessary drills, but use the practice time to teach basketball fundamentals that will help the student progress immediately. As a result, the student finds a even greater joy in playing basketball. What I enjoy most about my work is showing students that they're already better than they think. They just need someone, like myself, to bring out those hidden qualities and gifts they naturally have. Along with teaching them new ones.

My 11 year old son just had his first lesson with Don and truly enjoyed it. He has taken lessons before and my son son said he was much better than my last coach. Don was patient and very honest with his feedback. He was clear on what he will work on to improve my son's game.

My nephew was in need of a trainer to help him improve on his fundamentals. Coach Don has put him through great fundamental drills and is showing improvement. My nephew loves working with him and has provided me with good feedback. Great coach!

Before my left hand was very weak and couldn't left hand layup. After only one week I was able to make left hand layups better than my right hand. This just shows the great value of being taught. I highly recommend for the learning experience if you want to get better.
