Hi! I’m Coach Dre, and I specialize in helping players unlock their scoring potential while mastering the fundamentals of the game. Whether it’s putting points on the board, creating your own shot, or finishing strong under pressure, my coaching focuses on teaching players how to score efficiently in every situation—even off defensive stops, fast breaks, and tough matchups. My approach is personalized, engaging, and results-driven. Each lesson begins with a skills assessment to identify strengths and areas for improvement. From there, I design custom training sessions that mix technical drills, situational plays, and competitive game-like scenarios. Players not only improve their scoring mechanics—like shooting off the dribble, finishing at the rim, and creating space—but also learn how smart defense, awareness, and positioning can lead directly to points. I work with players of all ages and skill levels, helping beginners develop confidence and solid fundamentals, while advanced athletes refine their offensive arsenal and decision-making under pressure. Lessons are fun, challenging, and fast-paced—I emphasize learning through action, so every session feels like real-game experience while building habits that translate to lasting success on the court. Outside of basketball, I bring energy, patience, and a passion for mentorship. I love seeing players grow not just as athletes but as confident, strategic thinkers who understand the game on a deeper level. My goal is simple: to make you a more effective, versatile, and unstoppable scorer while teaching you the full game behind it. Let’s turn your scoring potential into consistent results!

"Coach Mathis really helped my son find his rhythm as a scorer. They worked on reading defenders, creating space, and staying locked in mentally. His points per game jumped after training with him, and he's more confident in taking the lead during games. Coach is knowledgeable, motivating, and from watching seems fun to train with. Some sessions seemed harder than others, and I see that made all the difference.

I am a former Division I tennis athlete with extensive competitive and coaching experience at the junior, high school, and adult levels. I started all four years at Saint Francis University, competing in both singles and doubles. As a junior player, I was a 3-star recruit on TennisRecruiting.net, ranked as high as No. 246 nationally upon graduating in 2020, and reached a peak UTR of 8.5. Before college, I was a three-time West Virginia state champion at the No. 1 singles and doubles positions, finishing my high school career with an undefeated 69–0 record. My senior season was unfortunately cut short due to COVID, but my competitive foundation was built through years of elite tournament play across the Midwest and on a national level. I am originally from Ohio and trained and competed throughout the region. In addition to my playing background, I bring hands-on coaching experience to every lesson. I have previously taught in Huntington, West Virginia, working with players ranging from ages 3 to 55+, including beginners, recreational adults, and competitive middle school and high school athletes. My coaching style focuses on strong fundamentals, confidence, and helping each player reach their individual goals… whether that’s learning the game, improving technique, or competing at a higher level.

"Marie was an excellent hitting partner and practice competitor during the time we worked together. As an advanced player, I appreciated the high level of intensity and consistency she brought to every session. We hit regularly and played practice sets, and Marie always pushed the pace, challenged my shot selection, and helped create match-like situations that translated directly into competition. Wishing her the best of luck always in her new journey in Pittsburgh!

"An amazing vocal coach to work with. While I have taken lessons from other coaches before, Andrés was the most memorable of them by far. Through his holistic coaching practices, he helped me strengthen my mind-body connection to become a better vocalist as I prepared to record an album. More specifically, he taught me to search for pleasure in the voice and in my music, and to connect with the emotions within my songwriting while performing. I highly recommend Andrés to anyone looking for private coaches, but especially to those who are looking for a voice coaching style that centers on building trust in your own voice and style!
