Basketball has had me travel around most of the USA and Europe.  After 3 years playing professionally in France, I have come to understand how things work , and I feel in a good position to share my experience, my opinions and give some advice.

After growing up in England, I went to the states aged 18 and played college ball at Davidson in North Carolina.  It was a great experience, and after one year playing professionally I bought a house close to Davidson where I spend my summers and where I will live after retiring from the game. 

Since college I've been with one team playing in the French first division for three years.  I've worked with agents, negotiated my own contract, spent few months injured, and had surgery in France.

I've been to an exposure camp in Italy and another camp, plus a try out in Greece.  I've played with the English national team in England, Russia and Slovenia.

France 2004

As a senior in college I made up my mind to play professionally, but I did not want to just sit back and trust everything to an agent.  I went through all the game tapes and collected a series of highlights on VHS. 

Being a part time computer geek, I played around with the highlights, putting them on a DVD and then online.  I signed with an agent and he used the work I had done, and found me a good job playing in the French first division.

Playing ball professionally leaves a lot of spare time, and so last year I launched this website to give other players the chance to have the same technology working for them that I had working for me.

It's a subject that's not very well understood by people who have not been here, so I have added this information section to my site to share my observations, my opinions and my advice.  I hope you find it helpful. Don't hesitate to email me with any questions.
