PTW Success Stories
Jessie Silk
Jessie has been with Coach DeShawn and PTW since the age of 5. Jessie is like family. We have literally watched this young lady grow into a young woman. It’s been amazing training Jessie as she is an incredibly talented athlete, but the relationship Coach DeShawn and Jessie have developed over the years is what stands out the most. Jessie is now a Sophomore at Emerson absolutely crushing it. I advise all clients to go catch a game. Jessie is a true product of PTW.

Zach Baum
Zach Baum has been with Coach DeShawn and PTW since he was 10 years old. Coach has seen all of Zach’s progression as a player. Zach is what you would call a gamer, when the lights are the brightest. Zach is going to perform at his best.
To see a kid that could barely make his AAU team and now being one of the best players in arguably the toughest prep school league in the country is a true testament to the work Zach has put in over the years. Zach is finishing up his Senior season a Nobles and has Committed to Bowdoin College to continue his basketball career. Proud is an understatement.
