Best 29 coaches for lessons near Fleming Island, FL

For over two decades, I've had the privilege of sharing my passion for basketball and witnessing the incredible growth of aspiring athletes. My coaching philosophy centers around building a strong foundation of fundamental skills, fostering teamwork, and nurturing a lifelong love for the game.

For a decade, I've been driven by a passion for unlocking potential on the basketball court. My coaching blends technical expertise with a fun, engaging approach, empowering players of all levels to elevate their game.

I bring over 15 years of basketball playing experience and a lifelong dedication to the sport. Throughout my playing career, I received multiple offers to compete at the collegiate level, but due to relocation, I was unable to pursue those opportunities. Despite that setback, my commitment to basketball never wavered, and I have since focused on developing my skills as a coach and mentor. My goal is to help you achieve success, on and off the court!.

I’m a professional musician specializing in rock and blues since 1975. I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by music—recording eleven rock and roll albums in Brazil and performing as a supporting act for legendary bands like Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, and Nazareth. I’ve also played in festivals alongside artists like Faith No More and other prominent American and British bands. Now at 60, I’ve moved to Florida to enjoy this next chapter of life with grace. But music remains a big part of who I am, and I feel it’s time to pass on my legacy to the next generation. I have two kids, aged 12 and 14, who already play multiple instruments and sing. I’ve been giving private lessons here in Jacksonville, though my reach has been limited—and I’d love the chance to expand. I grew up in a studio; my father was a bluesman in New Orleans and played several instruments himself. Music runs deep in my family, and I'm passionate about sharing everything I’ve learned over the years.
