About
My name is Coach Devon "Rich" Richardson and I have been providing basketball skill development for youth to professional athletes for the past six years. My focus is on developing efficient pace-oriented basketball skills needed to be successful at the higher levels of basketball. This includes dribbling with a purpose, understanding how a defender will read and react to your movements, and teaching how to dictate where the defense goes. I also train in shooting mechanics, including footwork, catch and shoot development, and quick release. All aimed at creating the smoothest most efficient game possible.
I have been a basketball coach for over 10 years at the High School and College level. I am currently a collegiate coach who has developed several D1 and professional athletes. In that span, I have rebuilt several programs from bottom feeders of the conference to consistent postseason favorites.
My relationships have allowed me to work as a player development trainer at an NBA team's summer minicamp as well as a coach and skills trainer with a top AAU program in LA. I have worked at many youths and High School skills camp where players from all across North America came to compete and train. I am currently in the planning period of training at a newly built basketball academy for NBA Africa in Ghana, where I will be responsible for training the top prospects in the region.
Hard work beats talent every time, my biggest joy is finding a player's untapped potential and developing it to become the best player possible. It is a very special feeling seeing a player build confidence due to putting in the work needed to be successful.
