"My son just started and already loves it. He’s usually shy, but Coach Dawson made him comfortable right away. After just a couple lessons he’s dribbling without staring at the ball and actually wants to practice at home. I can already see his confidence growing.

For kids with a love (or budding love) for the game, I want to help them unlock a love for the process of learning, growing, and improving. Training with me means focusing on progress you can see, competing against your own best efforts, and always knowing why you’re doing something. When players feel their growth and understand their purpose, the hard work starts to click—and that’s how they fall in love with the process. Basketball has been a huge part of my journey. From competing at the NCAA level and earning tournament honors to being a two-time high school MVP, the game has shaped who I am.
