What a private session looks like
Sessions are shaped around the athlete in front of the coach, not a fixed script.
Start with where they are
The trainer looks at current skill level, position and goals before building the plan.
Work the skills that matter
Ball handling, finishing, shooting mechanics, footwork, reads and decision making at game speed.
Bring it back to the game
Live reps and situational work so the skill shows up in practice and on game night.
