MY JOURNEY & VISION

From pro courts to coaching.

After more than ten years as a professional player, I turned my experience into coaching. Today I work with two kinds of people: players who want to level up, and people who want to transform their body and rebuild confidence.

JOURNEY

A lifetime of basketball. One coaching method.

Sport gave me everything. Discipline, resilience, brothers, life lessons. I spent over ten years competing at the highest level, facing the best, learning under pressure.

Today, I put that experience at the service of everyone: from the young player chasing a roster spot to the person who wants to lose weight, get toned, or feel better in their body. I know what it's like to doubt, improve, and break through. And that's exactly what I want to help you experience.

VISION

Coaching is unlocking the next version.

I don't believe in miracle recipes. I believe in good work, smart repetition, and confidence built through time and structure.

My approach connects movement, nutrition, recovery and mindset. Whether you want to become a complete player or take your body back, I give you clear structure, relentless follow-through, and lasting results.

"I love sharing what I know. Watching someone unlock the next version of themselves — that's the real win."
