Hi, my name is Panda! I am currently a coach and trainer for all different levels of athletes. I work with anyone from grassroots youth players up to the semiprofessional and professional level.
The athlete(s) I am working with are James King (25 y/o) and Chuy Mendoza (27 y/o). My back up is Stefan Hirabayashi (29 y/o). I say both James and Chuy because I’ve been working with both of them at the same time 3-5x a week for over a month and there are vastly different challenges in their shots. Chuy is much farther along than James and in my opinion, only needs some minor tweaks. James needs a lot more attention for his jumper. Both of these players have played at the ABA/semi pro level and are aspiring overseas players.
Stefan, my brother, is high-level rec player who is a natural athlete and would serve as a more than capable back up.
I am most excited to make a positive impact on these athletes’ development and also learn the tools to continue to be the best coach and person that I can be.
