When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, trainer and skills coach Tim Martin was out on a tennis court four days a week in Dallas, demonstrating different drills with no one else there. It was just him and his laptop as he conducted workouts through Zoom.

His client was 5,000 miles away in Paris with a pair of AirPods in, listening intently to Martin's instructions and then almost immediately implementing them correctly. Then-16-year-old Victor Wembanyama was like no one Martin had ever trained before, and he knew early on Wembanyama was going to be special.

Martin would show him different drills and give him feedback whether that was correcting his ball placement, telling him to keep his chest down or add arc to his shot. These almost daily Zoom workouts continued for six months until the start of Wembanyama's season with Nanterre 92 in September 2020. Once gyms started to open, Martin continued his Zoom workouts with Wembanyama and also did in-person workouts with some of his NBA clients. Martin has trained countless NBA players over the years, helping players like Trae Young, Rudy Gobert, Nic Claxton, Josh Powell and PJ Washington work on their craft.
