Business Plan
In the next five years, I plan to partner with 5-10 middle and/or high schools to be the exclusive trainer for their girls and boys basketball teams. I currently train 40-50 kids per week. I have the capacity to train up to 75. This is attainable with the right resources and partnerships, such as interns, the ability to offer free training, and additional equipment. I currently do not offer any large camps, due to limited resources for marketing, staff support, and the ability to offer free spots to support low income families. I have been involved in coaching and training youth of all skillsets for nearly 20 years. I recently took the very large leap to opening my own facility 3 years ago, when it was suggested by many that it would be unsustainable. I have been able to sustain the facility for 3 years simply by offering private/semi-private training alone. The feedback from all families is that no one in the industry in my area provides the intense level of detail, communication, and expertise in skill enhancement better than me. As a business professional and former collegiate athlete, I have a stellar reputation for connecting with both the players and the parents. I am able to translate the importance of how hardwork, details, and leadership not only will improve your opportunity to play basketball at a high level, but how it is critical to being successful in life after sports. If awarded, these funds would allow me to expand this premier level of instruction to multiple generations and have a lasting effect.

Self Identified Competition
My top 3 competitors are reputable trainers in the area, but they do have the capacity that I have as they do not own a private gym. My competitors do not have a business professional background, nor do they have full-time access to a private gym for training.
