I first began training with Eric in college in 2017 and after just 2 sessions I learned new concepts that I would practice daily, and ultimately lead the Big Sky in scoring! Eric's training is akin to eating a gourmet meal whereas most other training is fast food. His attention to detail and understanding of the game is what allows his players to grow and improve.

What athletes and families say
Over the past 2 years Eric has worked with both of my sons on basketball development. My oldest son started as the 9th player on his High School JV team — he progressed to making varsity, being named team captain, and earning a full college basketball scholarship. Eric was instrumental.
Eric is a great coach with athletes of all ages. He teaches with enthusiasm and communicates in a way that students can take direction and improve. He brings confidence to young people in both their basketball skills and their life skills — interested in helping them be a better player and a better person.
