Individual
Does your child struggle to balance athletics and academics? Are their time management and organizational skills lacking development? Does your kid need a friendly kick in the butt to get their grades up in the classroom and their hands up on defense? Then look no further! My name is James Gill and I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2013. I attended Wash U on an academic scholarship and played on the Men's Varsity Basketball team for 3 years until rupturing my Achilles Tendon (Kobe!). During my summers when I wasn't in the gym putting up hundreds of jumpers I worked with my former high school coach to develop a Non-Profit Youth Basketball program, the Chi Town Diablos, as well as teamed up with my best friend to start a tutoring program for rising 7th graders, 7th Grade Jumpstart, both in my hometown of Chicago. I just moved to San Francisco and am looking to pick up where I left off; helping kids who are passionate about basketball and school make the most out of their talents in both realms. Ideally, I would work with your child individually, or in a small group if they have like-minded friends. In a 2 hour session we will spend the first hour focused on academic enlightenment, whether this be reviewing homework, preparing long term projects, learning test taking tips, or focusing on a single subject matter. In the second hour, we would focus on basketball (vegetables before dessert). During this portion I will help your child improve any facet of their game that needs tweaking; shooting form, cardio fitness, rebounding, ball-handling, even proper form for diving on loose balls. I live near the Sunset/Parkside area and would love to work out of the Sunset Recreation Center on 28th and Lawton but I'm quite mobile if need be. Sessions are starting at $35/hour individually but rebates can be negotiated for group work. Thank you for your time.
