You Hoop Skills Training
About
Hi, my name is Kellen Jackson, better known as Coach KJ! I am a basketball coach, skill enhancement trainer, and youth leadership development coach. I am very passionate about the quality of my service and my goal is to deliver measurable results, while building the mindset, belief, and confidence of my students. My aim is to teach players of all levels how to persist toward their aspirations both on and off the court while learning core values, competence, and character.
As Co-founder and President of the You Hoop Organization, our collective mission is to use sport-specific education to positively impact and empower young lives through character building and leadership principles.

I aspire to be the type of coach my students can all continually learn from and a person who leads them and teaches them how to become successful on the court, but most importantly - beyond basketball.
