Head Varsity Boys Basketball Coach
Wauwatosa West High School
Coach Tatum provided individualized training plans for our small group that increased player confidence and skills. He was able to critique and find ways for players to improve their ball handling, shooting, and finishing in just a few weeks. The players in the small group trainings have begun using those skills in fall league games and practices.
