Private Lessons & Coaches in Lakeland, FL

With a lifetime passion for basketball, I bring years of experience as both a player and a coach to every training session. I’ve coached a wide range of players, from youth teams in AAU and at the YMCA to dedicated one on one training. My coaching philosophy is built on the belief that greatness starts with a solid foundation. Then skill development, conditioning, mental toughness/IQ, and competitiveness. I train athletes of all ages and skill levels. Let’s get to work.

"What I like most about coach is he doesn’t just throw drills at me, he explains why we’re doing them. He breaks down my form and points out small details.

Jason – Advanced Functional Breathing & Sleep Coach Certified through Oxygen Advantage, I help athletes unlock better performance, recovery, and sleep by fixing the way they breathe.

Learn how to: Increase endurance & VO₂ max Boost focus & reaction time Sleep deeper for faster recovery Control heart rate & nervous system under pressure This is the training that turns good athletes into great ones — no gimmicks, just results you can feel in every workout and competition.

"“I booked Jason for help with focus and nerves on the course. In just two lessons, I learned breathing resets I now use before every swing. I’m calmer, more consistent, and my buddies can’t figure out what changed.”

I have extensive, over 40 years of college and professional coaching experience. I am still actively involved int he game of football as a supervisor of replay for an extensive staff.
