Presidents Day Clinics were a go from the jump 🙏 From beginners just learning the ropes to those continuing to improve day by day prepping for higher and higher levels. It’s an amazing energy getting players from different places and backgrounds all in one space together…learning, working, competing, and getting outside that comfort zone with those they just met. Gratitude everyday - there’s more to do, more opportunities to grow doing what you love and making the most of the journey 🙏🏀

Three weeks complete, two more to go in July! 🏀 this group has been locked in 4 days a week making the most of their time here. Embracing discomfort, utilizing what’s being taught while also exploring their game. Playing the game we love, learning the game, and competing to bring out the best in one another. Grateful that THIS is life and WORK daily. At the end of the day, the goal is to plant some sort of seed (work ethic, patience, self-confidence, no fear of failure) - its bigger than just the skills you can attain. You want something for yourself? It’s on you to take the time, the effort and energy to make it happen - Be Who You Strive To Be 👊

Spring Break Clinic finishes up today! We lock in, we learn, get uncomfortable, apply newly developed skills to real play, and have fun along the way. When you’ve got an opportunity to get better and get in a gym, get after it. Teaching this game and the values that come along with it, there’s nothing better, it never gets old 👊🏀

Another weekend in the books of tourney 🏀 another photo is missing but either way, it couldn’t have been any better. Seeing kids succeed on the court after dealing with all sorts of adversity the past year and a half and seeing them contribute in more ways than one for their team is my favorite. Sooner than later they’ll all be taller than me I’m sure so I’m making sure to soak in these moments 🙏

Today was an absolute blast. Holiday Clinic for 4-7 year olds was full of energy, smiles and that itch to keep playing even after it was all over. My favorite part is seeing kids come back to play, want to go home and keep playing, and improve every time you see them on the court. Plant the seed for the love of the game and to play and you never know where it will take them 🏀

My favorite way to spend the weekend when I get a chance. I!Nothing beats watching the summer work these kids put in pay off and see them compete in the real deal. I’ve still got more to see and I can’t wait! 🙌🏀

November has been an absolute beauty of a month. The K-8 Blaine Youth Basketball Program got after it for 3 Sundays. 150 kids locked in and made the most of that time on the floor. Nothing beats seeing smiles, young leaders in the making, and making every minute count on the court when learning 🏀👊🙏

This is just a small glimpse into 1 hour of a full day from morning to night yesterday. The K-1 group set the tone for the day! I love seeing kids fall in love with the game and see themselves improve, nothing’s beats this 🙌

Every Sunday until December 19th, K-8 players have the opportunity to train. Sign up is open week by week with limited spots per session! There are still just a few openings for next Sunday!

MEA 🏀 CLINIC 2021 was an absolute blast. 2 days, 4 hours of getting after it. We’re missing a few that couldn’t make it to day two but talk about great energy. These players locked in and made the most of their time in the gym over break. My favorite part was having kids from different schools in the area come together as one to work on not only their own game, but together. Keep an eye out for more and more opportunities. Your life and game can change in 1 hour 🏀

My Journey - My Passion

In 2012, I sustained a knee injury that forever changed my outlook on life. During a time of pain, adversity, and struggle, I found perspective on life and purpose. It didn’t take long for me to realize what I wanted in life, to serve others through my passion for the game basketball, physical fitness, mental wellbeing, and music. After graduating college, I was determined to start my training business and make a living off of doing what I love, coaching basketball.

In 2015 I coached my first ever team. I was 20 years old and coaching an 8th grade middle school team at a small catholic school in St. Paul, MN (St. Marks). I soon realized this is what I was born to do. I found so much joy in seeing others want to learn, grow, and become the best possible player they could be. There’s no better feeling than seeing someone struggle, continue to persevere, and become who they are capable of being both as a player and person.

My experience of going through that knee injury in 2012 inspired me to move others and their way of thinking. Inspire them to be themselves, do what they love and enjoy about life every day, and become a self aware, confident, driven, and motivated human being in life so they can set out to achieve whatever they see for themselves in this life.
