Andrew’s Story
Forever 33
Andrew had a kind heart. He was passionate and deeply committed to coaching and teaching basketball. He was the proprietor and owner of Achieve Greatness, which he utilized to uplift and teach our youth about basketball and life. He took great pride in it, and despite the usual challenges that face new businesses, he established a clientele even during the covid-19 pandemic. Determined to make a difference, he performed the task with all his heart.
At a young age, Andrew adopted his favorite football team, his beloved New York Jets, and remained a fan even when they weren't performing well. He was an avid collector of sports cards and memorabilia. Andrew also enjoyed watching basketball, football, and baseball, even attending games occasionally. He also enjoyed working out and staying fit.
Andrew smoked marijuana for some of his anxiety & PTSD ( Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). He did have a medical marijuana card. However, he received some marijuana from a friend and did not know it was laced with fentanyl.
Andrew passed away unexpectedly in 2022 at age 33.
In His Own Words
Hi. My name is Drew, and I have irrefutable results when training individuals to become elite basketball players. Recently, I've started my life's path that's guided toward skill development for athletes. My resume includes multi championships as a coach, skill development training with all-state, all-city, and all-county athletes, 1K and 2k college scorers, and I have coached at the D3 collegiate level. I will and have dedicated my time and effort if you have the same or similar passion for the game as I do. Please note my sessions are designed to get you better from the bottom, working your way up.
Hard work and failure will be involved, but you will succeed. Get with me!

“Coach Drew has a deep bag of effective drills for developing skills in shooting and dribbling. Would recommend to any young hooper ready to take their game to the next level.”

"The coaching experience with Achieve Greatness and Coach Drew has been the best coaching my nephew has received in all his years playing basketball. Coach Drew is thorough and provides details on what will be covered in each session in advance. Each workout includes prep work and on/off the court homework to improve between sessions (including skill-based/basketball history videos). Coach Drew connected with my nephew in a way that made him eager to hold to his commitments creating self-drive that is hard to tap into for teenagers. Not to mention, my nephew's skills have improved in ways we could not have imagined in just three sessions. This is a real interview, and I am eager to continue our coaching sessions."

"Basketball is truly where this man shines. His ability to coach through skill training and his practice of customizing to the individual's performance is his unique trait. Seeing him in his zone on the court and watching his players' confidence and performance grow is amazing. The integration of real-life values and lessons he also instills throughout the sessions really takes this experience to another level. If you are serious about basketball and want to unlock your greatness, Coach Drew will help you achieve it."

“The dude knows his stuff, even if it might not look like he knows his stuff. Drew was able to take my game from mediocre to not bad, considering I've never played organized basketball before. I know Drew from basketball before, and his knowledge and training results can't be denied. Come prepared because he will.”
There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains.
