Aaron Fernandez(828)400-7796aaronwfernandez@gmail.com

Passionate, driven, and dedicated basketball coach. I consider myself much more than a, “lay-coach”. I am deeply invested in the science of coaching and motor learning and have built connections around the coaching world. I am a firm believer in a holistic, student-athlete

centered approach to coaching where players learn leadership and accountability.
