Tajh Ariza comments on the video showing his skills

With an NBA champion for a father, Tajh has said he is getting strict training from him, with the teen crediting his father's drills for his improvement. During an interview with Slam Online, he said he is now more explosive because of this.

“I started dunking on people, so that’s when I noticed that it started helping," Tajh said.

Trevor Ariza trains his son personally, overseeing his drills, which include more common ones like shooting and ballhandling drills, as well as sand drills in some of LA's many dunes. When he is off the court, his learning does not end, as he also studies how larger guards, such as Paul George and Brandon Miller, play and create space off the bounce.

He often wakes up as early as 5:30 a.m. to begin his training, and he usually starts with a run in the sands. He will then hit the showers, have breakfast and then go to school. After that, he will train some more, going over drills he was not able to do in the morning. He then heads to the court for some more drills.
