Athlete Development Coach & Parental Sports Advisor
I spent 10 years as a professional basketball player competing across Europe — Denmark, Portugal, Estonia, Norway, and Germany. Five championships. Eight MVP awards. I know what it takes to perform when everything is on the line.
Today, I work with athletes seeking their competitive edge, teams building winning cultures, parents navigating youth sports, and professionals wanting peak mental performance. The principles of excellence are universal.

My Coaching Philosophy
"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
— Bruce Lee
I believe the best athletes are adaptable, mentally resilient, and emotionally intelligent. Technical skills matter, but mindset is what separates good players from great ones.
