About Me

Hi, I'm Josh.

I'm a 20-year-old Australian who has been fortunate enough to live in several places around the world, including Dubai, Hong Kong, Kyoto, Tokyo, North Carolina, and North Dakota. Growing up and living in different countries has given me a real appreciation for different cultures, perspectives, and ways of life. One of my favourite things is meeting new people and hearing their stories.

Basketball has played a huge role in my life and has taken me to places I never imagined, allowing me to travel internationally and compete at a high level. Through these experiences, I've learned the importance of discipline, hard work, resilience, and building strong relationships with the people around you.

As a teacher and coach, I would describe myself as approachable, patient, and encouraging. I believe people learn best when they feel comfortable, supported, and genuinely enjoy the process. I enjoy working with students of all ages and skill levels, and I take pride in getting to know each student as an individual rather than treating everyone the same.

Building strong relationships with my students is very important to me. I want my students and their families to feel comfortable communicating openly, asking questions, making mistakes, and celebrating progress together. Seeing someone gain confidence and achieve goals they've worked hard for is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.

Whether you're looking to learn something new, improve a skill, or simply enjoy the learning process, I aim to create a positive environment where you can grow while having fun along the way.

Drawing from my experience as a former semi-professional soccer player in Spain, I embrace a life philosophy centered around sports and the holistic benefits they offer for physical and mental well-being. In my classes, I cater to various objectives, whether it's achieving a fit physique, attaining proper physical conditioning for a specific sport, or addressing broader goals like connecting exercise with mental health and enhancing personal self-esteem.

Basketball remains a sport, a hobby so above all, the goal is to learn while having fun. The student will be able to learn the fundamentals of basketball as well as more advanced basics. But I am available to each student depending on what he wants to work on. I played in a small league in Los Angeles and France so I can also teach Western, American basketball.

Life is a source of sharing, so passing on a sport that I have practiced for 20 years to the younger generations is something important to me. The sessions will be above all fun to convey the desire to continue playing basketball. Of course there may be a little moment of competition that is the basis of the sport.
