About Darnell

My knowledge best and not skipping the minor details that make the world of a difference separates me from the competition. I am not just a trainer but also a mentor, and will help out any way I can through a athlete's life journey

Being able to see the development happen in real time. Helping somebody get from point A to B and reaching that next level is very rewarding for me. It also helps that I love to play basketball.

I began teaching by doing group training with a couple of my friends and we started a 9U AAU team called HVA. From there I really knew I had a passion for working with the youth and began my training business.

I have been a coach for 10 years & a trainer for 8 years. Prior to those years, I've played basketball from the age of 7. Also played throughout my middle and high school years.

About the lesson

Connecting with the parents and athlete on a personal level is always the first step. Building a relationship is the basis of any communication we have.

1. First and foremost I would complete an evaluation session to see where the prospect is talent/skill-wise. Find what we need to build on, tweak, or change altogether.

2. From the evaluation create a plan that tailors to the athlete and their current skill set.

1 3. Go over the plan with all parties involved and get their input. Then follow what was decided on and get results!

All types. From elite to beginner. I enjoy working with all levels because all of them have their advantages.

Find someone who invests in you. Somebody who actually cares to see your growth and takes the time to explain each aspect they are teaching you. A teacher's patience would be the greatest asset for your growth.

The dribble clinics I run are not just about dribbling. We work on passing, defense, conditioning, shooting along with other things. It is a fun interactive atmosphere the kids enjoy and wish to come back to.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are my strengths?

What are my weakness?

What makes me uncomfortable?

How can I get the most out of my training?

What do I need to do to go to the next level?

Coach Cole, is amazing. My daughter gone from not being as confident to being very confident in her skill set. She gets excited to go train and for that I can’t trade for anything else. Coach Cole is patient, yet he pushed his students to maximize their abilities. Definitely worth it!

Dribble University is a hands on trainer who tailors their training to your kid. They strategically identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses. They will improve on the strengths, and attack weaknesses! They specialize in ball handling, shooting, and decision making. I’ve watched my son dramatically improve his skill set since joining. I highly recommend Dribble U if you are wanting to take your kid to the next level!

Coach Cole was very patient. He pays great attention to detail and doesn't try to cram too many things in one session. He has a plan catered to my child and works it effortlessly.
