About Court Sense:
I first went to Irv’s training sessions hoping to improve my ball handling and passing skills. Over the last two years those skills have improved, but now I can say my footwork has also improved. Most important of all, working with Irv has made me a more confident player with the ball. He has helped to increase my awareness of what happens and what could happen on the court. I am much more aware of the mental aspects of the game. Although my instincts still come into play on the court, I now consider myself to be a student of the game.
