Spencer Gray

I started training kids in 2009 while in high school from first grade through eighth. In college, I started training high school players. I have also coached at the high school level as an assistant coach. Following my senior year, I was a volunteer assistant coach for my university. As a point guard I have always been a leader on the floor and helped my teammates with their own skill set at different positions. I have learned all positions of the game and know what it takes to be successful at any position on the court.

I competed at the collegiate level at both Iona University and Hawaii Pacific University. I was a starting point guard, captain and Most Outstanding Player (PacWest Championship Tournament) and Player of the game in the Championship Game my senior year.

Sessions are high intensity and mostly focused on ball-handling, defense, finishing around the rim, mid-range pull-ups, and shooting while in transition or on the move.
It’s important to know different ways to score and take what the defense is giving you.
I believe ball-handling is one of the top factors of self-confidence on the court. 1-5 should be able to handle the ball with ease and be able to put the ball on the floor if they need to. I will stress this point and the importance and have a weighed ball to assist with this.
I incorporate cardio in every workout. Clients need to be able to do everything game speed, and have the mindset to push through when fatigued. DEFENSE: YOU HAVE TO PLAY BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. I stress anticipation; how to move quicker on your feet which comes from agility and hand-eye coordination drills. Scoring is only one side of the ball, don’t be a liability on defense. Learn your defender, and take pride in stopping the person in front of you.
