"Coach Robinson is really good with Lisa. Often, she’s waiting on the day for them to train together. I never knew my daughter had this drive in her. Safe to say Coach Robinson manifested what I thought my daughter was missing. He knows the right things to say!

"Honestly, with Genessa, the lesson really stood out because she’s great at connecting with players. I think the focus on progress was pretty clear, and I left feeling like I was noting real improvement in my skills. Still, I guess there’s always room to fine-tune some aspects, but overall I’d say it was quite helpful. If you’re looking for someone who pays attention to individual development, it’s worth trying out a lesson with her.

With years of experience playing against top-tier talent and being coached by professional trainers, I bring a level of expertise that sharpens not just your basketball skills—dribbling, shooting, footwork, post moves—but your mental toughness as well. My training builds muscle memory that transcends the court, giving you the confidence and discipline to excel both on and off the game

"Honestly, I found the lesson quite helpful, especially in how Javonntie was able to teach me. Though I still have some areas to improve, I appreciate the way he explained things clearly. The lesson's highlight was definitely his ability to teach me, which made a difference. Still, I think incorporating more drills related to shooting could help me sharpen my skills further. But overall, I’d be open to trying another lesson with Javonntie soon.

Hi I'm coach JD and I'm 28 years old. I have been playing basketball since I was 6 and have years of experience coaching at the high school level. Being a good basketball player you have to be consistent, have a hard work ethic, and be coachable. Working on your skills is just as important as playing the game. That creates growth and separation in your game. If you want to be better, be different. Are you ready to elevate your game to the next level? Let's work!
