I am the founder of Caps Basketball Clinic. (Since 1997) My mission is to teach the fundamentals of basketball to all skill levels from beginners to aspiring professionals. The world caliber of basketball played by many European players is the direct result of their superior understanding and focus of the fundamentals.
These are the same detailed fundamentals that I focus on with my students.

I am passionate about helping players that are serious and committed to practice and improvement. My coaching style focuses on a simple and detailed approach to teaching the shooting mechanics. I believe every player has their own DNA and I like to work with each individual differently according to their body capabilities. If you study the best shooters in the world such as Steph Curry, Caitlin Clark and Klay Thompson, you will notice they all have different shooting mechanics. With that in mind, I don’t teach each player to shoot with one particular method. I tailor my instruction to individual’s abilities and bio mechanics. There are basic fundamentals that I stress which will ultimately get the player to shooting the ball more efficiently and effectively.

For every lesson I will ask you to upload two different videos of your shot. The first will be face on with the camera centered and waist high. The second will be on the shooting hand side centered and waist high.
I will ask you what your typical miss is: short, long, left or right. The videos give me a great look at your shot and how to offer you the correction. I will then do a video voice over analysis of your shot explaining the cause and effect of your mechanics. I will then offer details on how to correct your form.

Finally, every lesson comes with a personalized video in which I demonstrate and detail everything covered in the analysis. I will help you understand why you are making these changes providing you with a step by step practice plan to improve your shot.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
