Basketball with Vaughn A.

My name is Vaughn Anderson I am an Iona Prep, Westchester Community College, and Buffalo State College Alum. I've played the game of Basketball since I was 5 years old. I am passionate about teaching the sport. I want to help young people avoid making the wrong decisions in life that can impede their success. Growing up I was caught up under the illusion of playing big time NCAA division 1 basketball and I didn't realize the intense work and dedication I would have to put in to achieve my goal. My head coach in Buffalo Fred Batchelor at the time taught me how to become a better basketball player. In practice he taught us how to do drills effectively, how to improve our ball handling and shooting skills, as well as defensive technique. I looked forward to practice more than I did games. Under his guidance my game went up to another level. Later on in life I developed my own philosophy to training and have applied it to my son Bryce who is now one the best players his age in NY state. I want to give kids this knowledge of how to get better at an early age so they can realistically keep their goals in perspective and make it a priority to achieve them.
