About your basketball coach

Player/coach with a lifetime of basketball experience, that I would love to pass down to the youth of Tulsa and beyond. Each player has incredibly specific needs, which are rarely catered to in the ways the student would prefer. I believe this is where my coaching truly shines. “If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” “See the floor.”

Beginner training plan
Your first trainingFrom an as needed basis. Each student learns at their own pace, so I implement the tortoise and the hare approach.
Training 2-3Improvement in their specified area of growth.
Training 4-10Expanding on former principles, while pushing the comfort zone of the student.
Training 11+Continued growth, especially with their shooting and dribbling.

Advanced training plan
Your first trainingAdvanced players will structure their own practices, while I critique certain areas of their approach. Advanced players need less coaching and more direction overall, to combat the egoic space they may naturally find themselves in. This is a fine line and I am here to help draw that in the sand for them.

Youth players
Working with kidsKids need clear instruction, while being in a fun and engaging atmosphere. This is something I specialize in, having spent many years substitute teaching within the public school system. Kids typically respond very well to my approach, while I am always learning valuable life lessons from them in return.

Working with teenagersI approach teenage instruction in similar ways as my youth, but the teens need much more room for input and self expression. I find the stage of life most teenagers find themselves in, causes much confusion and embarrassment. Navigating these waters can be a challenge at times and it is an honor, to be able to provide reliable instruction that is beneficial to them, during what may be the most stressful time in their young lives. When teenagers are truly committed to their craft, this is also the age where I believe I see the most growth mentally, physically, and spiritually.

What you need to bringShoes, a basketball, and a winning spirit.

What I can bringCones will occasionally be used. That should be sufficient for all workouts.

“Troy Smith played 2 years for me at Coweta High School. He came in with a great work ethic and very motivated to improve everyday. Troy is one of the best shooters I have been able to coach in my 35 years of experience. He shot and played with a high level of confidence, because he knew the work he put in. He carried us to our first ever 5A area tournament. Troy was a great player, that now has a strong passion to help kids improve.” Scott Norris - Union High School Head Coach
Timothy Winn
Troy Smith was a positive role model as an athlete. He was an extremely hard worker, always willing to go the extra mile. He was the type of player who respected the coach's position and was a true student of the game of basketball. For these reasons, I am confident that Troy Smith will be a tremendous asset to your program.
