Empowering athletes to redefine their athletic potential
About Me
I am dedicated to taking athletes to the next level no matter where they are in their athletic journey. I have trained professional athletes in multiple sports, collegiate athletes in Power 5 conferences, members of TEAM USA and HS athletes in the ESPN TOP 100.
I graduated from Toledo St. John’s and played college basketball at Capital University for one season. After returning to University of Toledo to finish my degree, I began researching athleticism and skill development.
Every type of training follows systems that have been tried and test with athletes to get the best results. If you are coming to train with me you are serious about getting to the next level.
Basketball Training
What:
Premier Skill and athletic Development that translates directly to the game. We help players of all levels sharpen their skills to achieve their goals.
What Do I Teach
Basketball athleticism
What does this mean? Speed is one of the most underrated parts of basketball. We work on skills like, playing low, agility, creating positive shin angles, in game jumping, and more.
Finishing on all 4 plants
Finishing at the rim is one of the most talked about things in hoops but often looked at in a way that doesn’t apply to game scenarios. I teach my players the skill of finishing on all 4 plants. It has proved to be a game-changer for small guards, and athletic guards alike.
Footwork
I’ve worked with nearly 1000 players, of all of them less then 5 have NOT had numb feet on day one. Those 5 are all professionals, or went on to be a professional. I help players organize their footwork
Dynamic Shooting
A dynamic shooter is one who: can shoot the jump shot, shoot from DEEP range, shoot on the move, and shoot off the dribble. Many have 1 or 2, few master all (VA athletes often have all)
Jump Shot
One of the most lethal aspects of the game. Players that I have taught this to have gone on to become elite college/pro scorers, 1000 point scores for their high school, and the go to option for their team. Adding this to your game will immediately separate you from the competition.
For who
Pros

EASY IN SEASON JUMP WORKOUT YOU CAN DO TO KEEP JUMPING HIGHER WITHOUT KILLING YOUR LEGS
I take A LOT of pride in doing what I do. I genuinely want to be the best trainer out there and it means something to me. THESE TEXTS MEAN SOMETHING TO ME. Becoming a game-changer MEANS SOMETHING TO ME. It’s not just sports.
I was asked the other day what my job was… my job is to get the absolute best out of my clients on a daily basis. It’s not just training or performance, it’s so much more than that. CONFIDENCE, LEADERSHIP, COMMUNICATION, EI, SELF ESTEEM, TENACITY, TOUGHNESS, GRATITUDE. I TAKE MORE PRIDE IN HELPING EACH CLIENT BECOME THE BEST PERSON THEY CAN BE over anything else. In doing that we also elevate performance to levels most couldn’t even imagine.
This was by far the best off-season yet. Our players consistently have a competitive edge against the competition and the gap is only growing bigger. If you don’t know yet, Now you know.
WHY SPEED?
This hits close to home because I remember being the kid that was told “I would never be athletic, because of my genetics”. It’s been a journey but we are still getting after it! AMA
🏆 MVP MVP MVP 🏆
In my opinion the best unsigned WR in the 2025 class. Karter is just another example of what hard work will do for you over time. Seeing him go out there and dominate motivates me even more to keep pushing. All of the early mornings and late nights are worth it when you see the work pay off. Keep going Karter. HOOPS NEXT
NEXT STOP REGIONAL FINAL. LETS GO @lincoln_creager_3
From unranked to receiving his first offer from Northwestern, Linc has continued to get better each season. The work never lies!
Just another day of the journey. In the lab.
OUTWORK SELF DOUBT
you’ll never know when your time is coming… when all of the hard work pays off. You just never know when that moment will happen. You have to work blindly hoping that it does. THIS IS WHERE FAITH IS IMPORTANT. faith in yourself that if you give your best everyday. That some point it will pay off.
Your story is just beginning @kostathrasivoulou

There’s always people who make a huge impact on you in your journey to becoming who you are. Nick Swint is one of those people. Nick trained me from 6th-8th grade before moving to PGA Headquarters to work with professional golfers at TPC Sawgrass. Nick went on to work with top athletes, teams, programs in the entire country! Including Olympians and Professional athletes in multiple sports.
To this day, I still remember most things that Nick taught me about the human body, movement, and how to train safely without injury. To have him visit HQ with his family was very meaningful to me. When I first met Nick, he and his now wife Betsy, were just starting in their relationship. Now they have 3 kids… and I’m training them! What a full circle moment. Grateful to have so many great friendships that have helped shape me along the way.
GREAT FOR ANY SPORT. LETS DO MORE REAL INSTEAD OF FAKE. THIS IS REAL. THIS IS HOW YOU GET QUICKER
PURPOSE OF THIS VIDEO:
1) understand how different variables effect jumping. It was interesting to see how important the arms became as we increased the intensity of the jump. (For example: depth drops) The more intense the jump the more important the arms become. This means in sport this is critical. If you want great jumpers like Ja Morant it’s easy to see how powerful his arm swing is.
2) Testing data: We can use these different baselines to focus on specific stimuli in training. Depth drops can be a great way to judge readiness. Standard jump with no arms can help us understand how powerful our legs are and penultimate jumps can help us understand if we are using the SSC efficiently in our mechanics.
3) Performance: having accurate data can be so useful in workouts. Is it important that I jumped 18 on standing vertical? No idrc tbh. What’s important is that I’m competing against myself to get 19 on the next. This is how you make gains. I think overtime I’ll see my numbers go up just because of that.
