  • Oliver has clearly improved a lot in techniques and grown more passionate about basketball since training with you, Oisin! He has made tremendous progress moving from the C team to the A team in under 3 months at Barker! He loves the way you make the training both versatile and interesting at the same time. And I’m really impressed that you can customise training methods for individual needs. I hope more kids will benefit from this program.
