I specialize in coaching youth basketball. Drawing on my experience in the U.S., the birthplace of the game, I provide authentic, American-style coaching fully dedicated to helping you achieve your dreams and goals.
Whether you play for a mini-basketball team, a junior high or high school club, or a private club, opportunities for personalized feedback from coaches can be limited. My 1-on-1 private lessons are designed to give you the individual attention you need to thoroughly refine your skills and focus on the finer details of your game.
My coaching style is unique because I don't just show you how—I break down and articulate every nuance so you truly understand.

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.
