Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our training approach, scheduling, locations, and what makes Wes’s basketball development program uniquely effective.

Consistency. The one commonality amongst ALL of my successful athletes is their relentless dedication and persistent commitment to their development!

Yes…and what I mean by that is that I consider every human being to be an athlete(to an extent). Performance training is relative to whatever lifestyle, standards, goals and overall quality of life that an individual desires. This could be a basketball committed to playing at the Division 1 level, adults that want to stay fit for their recreational sports league, or parents that want to remain as active and alert as possible and present for their families!

Primarily in Montgomery, MD but I am open to traveling across the DMV area and beyond!

One on one, group and team training sessions are available

The ability to connect aspects of skill development on the court such as dribbling, shooting, passing along with aspects of sports performance such as Speed & agility movements, jumping and the IQ for implementation provides an experience for Hoopers that can separate them from the rest!
