Phil wants everyone to feel that BALLER feeling.
Born & raised in Toledo, OH Phil grew up playing a range of sports and outside activities, helping to install the wide range of skills & confidence needed for the world of sports. Phil accepted a Division 1 scholarship to play basketball at Holy Cross, in Worcester, MA.
“Seeing kids’ excitement & confidence grow with challenging themselves to master different catches and breaking personal records is what it is all about - the real recipe to BE YOUR OWN BALLER.”
After serving as team captain his senior year, Phil moved to Chicago where he began a 9 year corporate career with Disney & ESPN. Having always been motivated by making an impact and working with kids, Phil planned a transition for his next chapter. He left ESPN in December of 2019 to spend a few months traveling in South America before diving into Phil’s Drills.
