"I loved him as a trainer, he gave me so much insight into why we were doing each drill and how it translates to real games. It made a big difference because I got to understand each action and no longer just felt like I was doing random drills.

About Jason

*All Inclusive access to training session at state of the art facilities at Life Time locations in NYC, Long Island, or North Jersey is available for add-on for existing weekly clients after the first intro session.* Hey my name is Jason and welcome to my training program! With over 25 years of basketball playing experience, I've helped players of all ages and skill levels unlock their full potential on the court. My coaching style blends technical expertise with a fun, supportive environment that fosters growth and a true love of the game. I will tailor a training program that will improve the skills that need the most improvement. I have years of experience playing basketball since I was a child throughout high school and intramurally in college. I have been a basketball trainer for about 4 years as I have taken on clients who want to improve in forest hills league from an Asian community as well as any players who would like to improve. I specialize in plyometric training exercises that improve vertical jumping, speed and quickness. I focus on good diet, recovery, consistency, and fundamentals with all of my basketball training clients. I train first in fundamentals, then moving on to simulate in-game situations, and finally scrimmages or pickup games. My playing expertise in basketball combined with my passion and fundamentals in teaching will make me an excellent trainer. Let's connect and discuss your basketball journey!

What students say...

"I met Jason while playing pickup ball. He immediately impressed me. I asked him if he could show me some of his techniques that were impressive. I proceeded to take lessons from him afterwards.

What students say...

"I’ve been training with Coach Danny for a little over a month now and I can honestly say my game has improved more in that time than it has in the past few years. As an intermediate player, I had a solid foundation, but coach really helped me take it to the next level! He is very detail oriented and explains the “why” behind every drill.
