Brian is a hooper I've met at LAFIT. Extremely nice & humble human being who loves the game of basketball.

What we need to work on
- Ball Handling, "Shiftyness," and ability to swivel hips.

Summary: Great first workout with Brian. He had a fantastic attitude and wanted to get better. Solid footwork on the pass and relocation drill. Already has an excellent jump shot. Only a few minor adjustments are needed. I noticed that when he would overthink during an exercise, the shot release would happen on decent instead of at the top of the jump. I look forward to working with Brian in the future, I have a detailed view on how to help him improve his all around offesnive game.
