Introduction

I am man of many hats. Basketball training needed? Pet sitting? Dog walking? Basketball: Beginner? Intermediate? High level high school and college? Let’s get to work! I have been a varsity high school basketball coach for over 12 years, being involved in the development and coaching of over 30 division one basketball athletes in NYC and Westchester. I am very detail-oriented from a developmental standpoint and am motivated to get the best out of each and every athlete I am associated with. I never cut corners and can help in the development of beginners up to high school and college level athletes. Pet Sitting & Dog Walking: I have also been an avid pet lover and provide pet services for several years. Includes dog walking, dog and cat sitting as well. I aim to ensure you are comfortable when away from your pet. I am willing to do walks (long and short), provide pet care at home, daily visits and feedings for cats, and am open to different requests. Please reach out to me as I aim to gain your trust and leave you with the comfortability that you pet is in great hands!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

For one hour of a training session, the cost is $100 per player. Average session usually goes 90 minutes. Please message me for further packages (5, 10, 15 session packages with discounts)! 2 Individuals is $65 for each person for the hour 3 Individuals is $60 for each person for the hour 4 Individuals or more is $50 for each person for the hour

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

First, I like to spend time getting to know the player, his/her history, and whether or not he or she has mastered the basics. Even players who have played the sport multiple years do not master the basics. I teach, teach, teach as we develop your son/daughter while making them enjoy the session so they continue to have fun in doing so.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have trained and developed basketball players my entire adult life. I have been around great high school coaches, division 1-3 college coaches, and professional coaches. I attend coaching clinics regularly as well.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Been a basketball player and coach my entire life. Always fond of learning the game and keeping my skills sharp. In terms of dog/cat sitting and dog walking, I am an avid pet lover and always loved being around and forming relationships with pets.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with players of ALL levels. I take pride in developing younger players looking to get started. I also have the ability to train players who are playing at a high level and have the idea of playing college and professional basketball in mind! I have trained beginners who have just taken a liking in the sport, countless high school, college, NBA and professional athletes overseas.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I have taken on many clients I am fond of the progress for. Many clients are beginning level basketball players. Teaching the basics is one of my specialties. I am great with simplifying the game of basketball and putting It together for the athlete.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Basketball: I think you should ask how they plan on developing your child. How do they make It fun for them to learn (if they’re younger and beginning). Pet sitting and dog walking: just make sure you find someone who truly cares about your pet and their own. You want someone who makes you comfortable to enjoy your much deserved time away from your pet !
