FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Each session is 45 minutes for $50. I’ve found that 45 minutes is the sweet spot—long enough to get quality work in, but short enough to keep kids fully engaged and focused the whole time. I’m all about maximizing every minute on the court—no wasted time, no dragging things out just to fill the hour.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Every kid is different, so I take a flexible approach. I come into each session with drills and a plan, but I’m always ready to adjust based on the player's needs, skill level, and personality. The goal is to make each session feel personal, challenging, and fun. Positive coaching is a constant—I focus on encouraging kids, building their confidence, and helping them enjoy the process of getting better.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I grew up around the game—my dad is a well-known basketball coach in the DMV area, so I’ve been learning and loving basketball since I could walk. I also have 7 years of experience as a basketball counselor, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. Beyond playing at the collegiate level, my real passion is in spreading the joy of the game and helping young players grow both on and off the court.
