DJ is best known for his demonstrative and innovative approach to basketball training. He demands that he be more skilled than any player he trains—regardless of their performance level. His philosophy: To train at a high level, you must be able to understand game purpose, turn raw skill innovation into game like action, motivate with purpose, and demonstrate at the highest level. DJ is a true student of the game and impresses players—whether beginner or pro—with his continued advancements in the basketball-training world.

College Career A four-year starter at the University of New Haven, DJ later took advantage of his playing years by studying player development strategies, as well as team development strategies.
