A New Chapter Begins
Basketball has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From my early days in San Antonio gyms, to my time as a walk-on at LSU, to dreaming about coaching at the college level, the game has shaped my journey. Now, I’m taking an exciting new step by launching AB Hoops Lab, my own basketball training company. This is more than just a business for me—it’s a way to share what I’ve learned and help the next generation of players reach their full potential.
Why AB Hoops Lab?
I’ve always believed that basketball is about more than just the joy of the game. It’s about discipline, teamwork, mental toughness, and character. With AB Hoops Lab, my mission is to create a space where players can grow in all those areas. Whether it’s perfecting a jump shot, improving footwork, or learning how to lead on and off the court, I want every athlete who trains with me to leave the gym better prepared for both basketball and life.
Experience That Shapes My Training
During my time at LSU, I learned what it takes to compete at the highest levels. I may not have been a scholarship player, but I put in the work every single day—going up against future NBA talent, pushing starters in practice, and earning the respect of my teammates and coaches. Those experiences taught me the value of persistence, preparation, and precision. At AB Hoops Lab, I’m bringing that same mindset to every session, showing athletes how to combine skill work with the mental edge needed to compete.
What Players Can Expect
The training sessions at AB Hoops Lab are designed to be detail-oriented and player-focused. Every athlete has different strengths and areas to improve, so I customize drills to fit their needs. Shooting mechanics, ball-handling, defensive positioning, decision-making—all of these are emphasized with game speed and intensity. But beyond the skills, I also emphasize accountability and leadership. Basketball is a team sport, and the best players aren’t just talented—they’re reliable, coachable, and willing to put in the work when no one is watching.
Building Confidence Through Repetition
One of the most rewarding parts of coaching is seeing athletes grow in confidence. I remember the first time I hit a big three-pointer in practice at LSU—it wasn’t luck, it was the result of hours of repetition. That’s the philosophy I bring into training. Consistency breeds confidence, and confidence builds winners. My goal is to help athletes trust their preparation so when the moment comes, they’re ready.
Looking Ahead
AB Hoops Lab is just beginning, but my vision is big. I want to create a program that not only builds skilled basketball players but also prepares young men and women for success in every area of life. Basketball may be the tool, but the lessons learned here will extend far beyond the court.Final Thoughts
Launching AB Hoops Lab is the culmination of years of work, passion, and belief in the power of basketball. I’m grateful for everyone who has been part of my journey so far, and I’m excited to pour back into the game that has given me so much. For anyone looking to take their skills to the next level, I’d love to work with you. The lab is open, let’s get to work. To book with me, view the website that follows: ABHoopsLab.com
