“I have worked with Danny Makepeace for some years now, both in a parent capacity with him training my child in a group setting and in 1:1 training, and also in a basketball board capacity with him doing large group training sessions with our travel basketball program. His company, aptly named ‘Pure Intensity’ being that he brings the energy and discipline from the get go in each session he holds, is a unique program that focuses a lot on footwork and situational court awareness in order to help build smart basketball players, not just focusing on how a kid can learn to shoot more or score more. His program and his approach really strives to build confidence in players, and I have seen firsthand that it indeed accomplishes that goal. My child has become a more confident basketball player, developed skills through his training that have no doubt helped facilitate an increase in her basketball IQ and skill set, and I have heard that same feedback from many parents within our STMA Girls basketball program.”
