THANKS!!!
HELLO BASKETBALL FANS,
Thanks for stopping by my website. Basketball has been a huge part of my life and this basketball school has enabled me to continue to work with young people. I try to reach young players in many ways. Of course I like to motivate kids to become fundamentally sound basketball players, but I also want to use basketball as a vehicle to share God's game plan for their life. I think my positive energy and enthusiasm rubs off on players and provides the motivation to turn potential into real success. I have been fortunate to work with some of the top coaches around and I remain a student of the game.
I have coached high school varsity basketball in Cabarrus county for 13 years, including two regional championships and the 2007 3A State Championship. I have coached AAU basketball for over 20 years, including coaching NBA star Chris Paul for 5 years. I have coached the Chris Paul All Star traveling team for the past 3 years.
I have directed basketball camps and clinics in Cabarrus County for 15 years. I hope you'll come out and see what our camps are about!!!
Yours in hoops,
Coach P
