This is for high school players in NYC who want to make varsity, earn real minutes, or get seen by college programs. Maybe you are a freshman trying to make the jump. Maybe you are a junior who knows the next two seasons matter. Either way, the work is the same: get better at the things that show up in games.
Training is $100 per person per hour, 1-on-1 or in a small group, with film breakdown included. The work focuses on your position, your role on your team, and what your coach needs from you.

Sessions mix four areas. The balance changes with your goals and what we see in your film. I have worked camps with NBA trainer Jordan Lawley and know other NBA trainers, so the workouts and drills you get are NBA level, scaled to your age, position and role.
Mechanics first, then game-speed reps off the catch, off the dribble and on the move.
Pivots, jump stops, closeouts and the footwork that creates space without extra dribbles.
Ball handling under pressure and finishing through contact with both hands.
Reads, spacing and decisions, plus film breakdown of your own games at no extra cost.
Not ready for training, or just want a second set of eyes? Send your game film and I will break it down. Players and parents both send film. This is high school basketball film analysis for NYC players.
When to shoot, drive or move it, and where the better read was.
Where you stand without the ball and which shots are worth taking.
Closeouts, help position and the habits coaches notice.
A short, clear list you can take into practice.

What that means for you: I have been the player trying to earn minutes, and I have been the coach deciding who gets them.

Training with me in Queens gets you that perspective, plus NBA level workouts and straight talk on where you stand and what to work on next.
