Mind Over Matter Sports
About
Hello, my name is Coach Knight, and I’m the Founder and Director of Mind Over Matter Sports Basketball. I’ve dedicated my career to building not just athletes, but leaders—young people who carry discipline, confidence, and resilience both on and off the court. When you train with me, you can expect energy, structure, and accountability. I focus on fundamentals—footwork, ball handling, shooting, defense, and conditioning—while also pushing you to think about the game at a higher level. I believe in the motto “Where Discipline Meets Development.” That means I will challenge you, but I’ll also guide and encourage you every step of the way.
Players often say training with me is tough but fun. I want you to leave each session feeling stronger, more skilled, and more confident than when you walked in.

Transformational Training Experience with Coach Donnell Knight
Coach Donnell Knight has been an absolute blessing for my 15-year-old son Knowledge, both on and off the basketball court. When we first started training with him, I expected improvement in skills and technique, but what my son has gained goes far beyond that.
Coach Knight has helped him grow mentally, emotionally, and physically in ways I didn’t think possible in such a short time. His approach to training is not just about drills and conditioning, it’s about building confidence, discipline, and self belief. My son has learned how to push through challenges, stay focused under pressure, and lead with integrity.
The transformation has been incredible. His basketball IQ has grown, his work ethic is unlike before, and he’s developed a level of mental toughness and emotional maturity that shines through other aspects in his life.
Coach Knight truly cares about these athletes. He sees their potential, holds them accountable, and encourages them to become the best versions of themselves. The positive impact he’s had on my son’s mindset and character is something I’ll always be grateful for.
If you’re looking for a trainer who inspires greatness both on and off the court, Donnell Knight at Mindovermatter is the one!

I appreciated the transparency with the coach regarding my child’s skills, how she can improve, and the cost. They were very easy to communicate with, and very apparent that they prioritizes the kid’s best interest. I watched a lot of the camps and workouts and my child responded very well to her coach. She enjoyed going to their camps, individual development workouts and she felt comfortable. Most importantly, we seen a huge improvement in her skills.
I Highly recommend Mind Over Matter Sports.

Many of the ex basketball greats/ legends know the game but not all can teach it. Coach DK not only played at an extreme level but he also cares about his players from the babies just beginning to our rapidly developing young Men ready for College or the PROs... The change in confidence and skill level was vast in my Son 🙏💪 and I would recommend Mind Over Matter Sports and their strength and conditioning team. Quality, value, & exceptional service!
