International Basketball Academy

Coach Jeff has helped hundreds of kids throughout the country learn the fundamentals of basketball in a way that the players understand. He has the unique ability to quickly assess those fundamentals that a player needs to improve on and then explain not only what is wrong but why it is wrong. “Coaches are always telling players how they need to improve, but they rarely give them correct principles as well as reasons why they need to improve. If a player doesn’t understand the why, then they will continue with their bad habits. It is my belief that when players understand what they are doing wrong and why it is incorrect, they will then start to implement the correct principles that they are taught. They will then also be able to feel when they are shooting correctly or incorrectly. This self-analysis is the way that a player can continue improving on their own when I am not around.

Coach Jeff has helped my son go from sitting the bench his Freshman year to playing the entire game on the JV team as a sophomore! His personal instruction not only helped his game physically, but he built my son’s confidence on the court as well as in the classroom!

I was a good player in High School, but I really needed to improve my shot as well as other parts of my game when I got to college. As someone who has been there before, Coach Jeff helped me to understand what it would take to be a good player in college as well as know what level of play would be expected. He helped me tremendously.

Thanks to Coach Jeff, I received the instruction I needed to not only improve my shot, but also my abilities in the key and finishing strong. I was first team All State and got recruited by local colleges!

— Tanner Owens, Hagerman H.S.

My coaches were always telling me that I needed to work on my shot, but they never knew how to help me improve it! Within five minutes, Coach Jeff analyzed what I was doing wrong, but also explained it to me in a way that made sense! By the end of our first hour, I could already tell what my bad habits were and knew how to fix my shot! He is a blessing to the game!
