ELITE EXPOSURE

In The Gym With The Best

The standards at X-Factor are set by the highest level of the sport. Xavier’s training background includes time in the gym with NBA veterans like Josh Hart, Jimmy Butler, and Kevin Love, along with numerous overseas professionals.

This high-level exposure directly influences the curriculum at X-Factor. Xavier has seen firsthand the intensity, the attention to detail, and the work ethic required to stay in the league. He brings those same "Pro Standards" back to Long Island, ensuring that his athletes are training with the intensity required for the next level.

THE X-FACTOR DIFFERENCE

It’s All In The Details

X-Factor Training is built on one principle: DETAILS.

We do not believe in running drills just to sweat. We believe in purposeful preparation. Every session focuses on the nuances of footwork, pace, spacing, shot creation, and decision-making, the small things that separate good players from great ones.

Our mission is simple: to prepare athletes to perform confidently and consistently when it matters most. We don't just teach you how to do a move; we teach you when to use it, why it works, and how to execute it under pressure.
