Justin Teaches Basketball

A Tailored Approach to Basketball Mastery My coaching journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation, assessing key areas such as speed, footwork, shooting, defense, passing, ball handling, and even the strategic mindset required for basketball. This initial testing phase is crucial to tailor a training plan that meets your specific needs. Following assessment, I establish a routine that includes stretching, warmups, and memorable drills. These routines are designed not only for our sessions together but also for you to practice independently, ensuring continuous improvement. As progress is made, we transition into skill-specific workouts. This phase focuses on enhancing your overall game feel, breaking down complex movements and techniques used by high-level athletes. You'll learn how to execute, practice, and master these moves through dedicated guidance. I commit to working with you until you achieve your basketball goals. Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills, increase your game intelligence, or elevate your athletic performance, my personalized coaching will help you succeed on and off the court. Let’s start this journey together!

I played Basketball at High Levels including Basketball at a powerhouse in Illinois, I also played on nationally ranked AAU Teams as early as 7th Grade. Not only do I have the Basketball experience but I've played and done Baseball, MMA, Golf at high enough levels I am able to transfer some of the skills/trainings to Basketball which is a testament to my mastery of many sports including Basketball. I've coached a multitude of Basketball teams, I've helped run some of the elite Basketball camps in the United States. I've also helped train elite level athletes that have gotten scholarships & had incredible seasons after working with me. Not only do I train athletes but I also put myself through different workouts, training camps to test the most effective methods of training. There's no workout I will put an athlete through that I haven't done or can't do myself and that's the difference between working with me.

My coaching journey began informally in college, where I started by helping friends enhance their basketball skills to dominate intramural competitions. This experience sparked a passion for coaching that led me to work with individual athletes, where I discovered a deep fulfillment in helping others improve and succeed. By 2021, my experience expanded to include teaching at some of the premier basketball camps across the country. It was during this time I recognized the limitations of many conventional training programs. I saw firsthand how generic approaches failed to meet individual needs—often being too advanced for some and too basic for others. This realization inspired me to create my own training business focused on personalized development. My training business is built on the belief that effective coaching must be tailored to the individual. Each athlete’s path to improvement is unique, and my mission is to craft training sessions that align perfectly with their specific skills and goals. Let’s work together to make your training as effective and rewarding as it should be.

In my coaching career, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of athletes—from young beginners, just 6 years old, learning the fundamentals of basketball, to seasoned players in their 30s aiming to re-enter the semi-professional arena. My experience spans coaching both men and women, including a talented young woman who went on to earn a basketball scholarship. I am passionate about making basketball accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of age or skill level. My goal is to help each athlete unlock their potential and achieve their personal and competitive aspirations. The joy of teaching and seeing my athletes grow keeps me motivated every day. Whether you're picking up a basketball for the first time or you're looking to refine advanced skills, I'm here to support your journey and help you succeed on and off the court.

At 25, my enthusiasm for basketball is as strong as ever—I still create fear with my athleticism and dominate in 5-on-5 games after my day job. There’s nothing quite like the excitement of putting on a show. But my love for the game extends beyond just playing. I am deeply committed to coaching and witnessing the success of my students. There’s a unique joy in watching them compete, attending their signing days, and celebrating their milestones. Each moment underscores why I love this game so much. It’s not just about instructing; it’s about being part of their journey and sharing in their triumphs. Basketball is more than a game to me—it's a lifelong passion.

When searching for a coach, it’s crucial to find someone who not only understands the strategies of basketball but also delves deep into the game's tactics. The small, nuanced actions we practice during training can make a significant difference in performance. Mastering both strategy and tactics is like having a cheat code for the game. Be cautious of coaches who rush into intense workouts without proper preparation. Dynamic/static stretching and thorough shoot-arounds are essential, not just add-ons. They prepare the body for the demands of the game and are critical in limiting injuries. Remember, preventing injuries is a continuous commitment, not just something to think about during games. Choose a coach who prioritizes your long-term health and performance, ensuring you can enjoy and excel in basketball for years to come.

Understanding where you are, where you want to be, and the timeframe you envision to get there is vital in any training program. These are the questions I pose to my students, and the answers guide our journey together. I am deeply committed to fostering a genuine passion for improvement and excellence in each of my students. As such, I maintain a strict policy on commitment. If I sense a lack of dedication or if it becomes clear that a student’s heart isn’t in the training, I will respectfully decline to continue our sessions. This stance isn’t about financial gain; it’s about inspiring athletes to become the best versions of themselves. I am here to help those who are ready to commit fully, as anything less does not align with the values of my coaching philosophy.
