In the last couple of weeks, I had the pleasure of traveling to San Antonio to speak in front of 1,500+ coaches at the annual TABC Basketball Clinic, as well as to Las Vegas to speak in front of 2,500+ coaches at the Nike Championship Basketball Clinic (which holds claim as the “world’s largest basketball coaching clinic!”). Both clinics went extremely well and I had an absolute blast being a part of such incredible events.

While those would have been tremendous jobs and amazing experiences, I elected to stay in the private industry because of the freedom it gives me and the variety it provides. As a private basketball strength coach, I have countless opportunities and work with a myriad of clientele (all basketball-related of course). One segment of my business, which has grown tremendously and is one I really cherish, is preparing players for the NBA Draft. (more…)
