What's the base of your form shooting drills?
It’s all about repetition and building muscle memory—so don’t rush things. First step is to always keep yourself square to the hoop before starting your shooting motion. Then go through your form and hold it until the ball hits the ground. Then repeat and repeat.
What’s an unexpected piece of technology that you use?
Drones are a big help when I’m training clients, as it means we can see an overhead view of their form and make corrections. But as a content creator too, they help me to get footage at multiple, new angles, while not missing a thing.
What's a device that you can't do without?
As an athlete and coach, maintaining my health and fitness is so vital. So with a fitness watch, I can keep up with my fitness during and after workouts, as well as during my day.
