1-on-1 Private Training with Devin Watson in Carlsbad, CA

One coach. One athlete. No distractions.

Individual training is the most focused and personal development experience that Coach Watson offers. This is premium, personal, high-demand training, and it is limited by design. No assistants. No observers. Just direct, hands-on coaching from a former Division I guard and professional player.

Every session is built specifically around the individual athlete. What they need to fix, what they need to develop, and what they need to sharpen before their next game, tryout, or evaluation. Nothing is generic. Nothing is recycled from a group session. This is coaching that is entirely designed for one person. Private trainings take place at 24 Fitness Carlsbad Mall.

What a Session Looks Like

Every individual session is different because every athlete is different. Coach Watson assesses where the athlete is, what they need, and builds the session accordingly. That said, sessions are always structured, always intentional, and always run at a pace that challenges the athlete from the first drill to the last.

Areas covered in individual training include:

  • Ball handling and advanced guard skill development
  • Shot creation, shooting mechanics, and scoring from multiple areas
  • Finishing at the rim, contact finishing, and floater work
  • Footwork, pace, and efficiency in one-on-one situations
  • Basketball IQ, reading defenses, and decision-making
  • Confidence and a competitive mindset work
  • Position-specific skill development based on the athlete's goals

Sessions are not just physical. Coach Watson coaches the mental side of the game as well, including how athletes process mistakes, respond to pressure, and carry themselves on the court.

Availability and Enrollment

Individual training spots at Watz Academy are capped at 3 athletes per month. This is not a marketing tactic. It is a reflection of what it actually takes to deliver this level of coaching consistently.

Coach Watson has current commitments to his team programs, group sessions, and high school coaching responsibilities. The athletes who hold individual training spots get a version of his attention and energy that simply cannot be spread across a large client list. Three spots per month is the number that allows him to do this work at the standard Watz Academy is known for. Players must submit their availability and preferred dates through the website.

If spots are currently full, you can reach out to be added to the waitlist.

A Note on Commitment

Getting better at basketball takes more than one session. Coach Watson is direct about this with every athlete and family he works with. Individual training works best when the athlete shows up consistently, applies what they learn between sessions, and comes in each time ready to build on the work already done.

If your athlete is ready for that level of commitment, individual training at Watz Academy is one of the best investments you can make in their development.
