I am incredibly excited to bring basketball training to the place I call home. I will use my experience to promote a space where we can have fun together, learn from one another, and grow as individuals. During these sessions, I aim to challenge us to the bring forth the best version of ourselves. After attending Elevate sessions, participants should be able to utilize the tools and lessons they have learned far beyond their athletic experiences. My team and I seek to provide an opportunity to learn life skills through basketball such as: communication, teamwork, leadership, adaptability, and most importantly authenticity. In return, I ask that we respect all participants and honor the game of basketball that we all love with our hard work and a growth mindset. Let’s ELEVATE together.
