From the basketball courts of Montreal, Canada, to the storied hardwood of the Wisconsin Badgers, and all the way to representing my country on the Canadian National Team, my journey in this sport has been defined by relentless work, discipline, and a commitment to constant growth.<\/p>

My coaching career has taken me across the NCAA landscape\u2014serving as an assistant coach at Western Kentucky University and Jackson State University, where I was deeply involved in player development, recruiting, and preparing athletes to compete at the highest collegiate level. Over the years, I have built a strong and trusted network across college basketball, the NBA, and international basketball circles. I have also gained extensive experience in National Basketball Scouting, identifying elite talent and helping place young athletes in opportunities across the United States.<\/p>

Today, I am proud to bring all of that experience, knowledge, and passion to the Next Generation through the creation of the PDP Basketball Skillz Academy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Our focus is on empowering young athletes to learn how to coach themselves. Players will develop the exact techniques needed to master their fundamentals\u2014allowing them to train confidently and effectively on their own. This program is built on individual skill development, personal growth, and building true basketball IQ.<\/p>

We also welcome and encourage parents to participate. By learning alongside your child, you can help reinforce the skills and habits needed to continue improving at home. This collaborative approach creates a supportive environment where development becomes a family effort.<\/p>

At PDP, everything we do is rooted in what is best for the child. We create a positive and productive learning environment where each participant can build confidence, discover their strengths, and grow at their own pace. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
