About

QUINTIN JOHNSON

Coach

Hi, my name is Quintin Johnson, Coach Q. I have been working with youth for 30 years as a profession. I currently am a student advocate at Bloomington Jefferson High. I am also in my 12th year as the Head Girls Basketball coach at Bloomington Kennedy High. I have over 100 career wins and have coached in 2 state championship games.

I have been to 4 section finals winning 2 and I have won 2 conf championships. I have been named section coach of the year twice. I have sent many players on to play college ball. I played my college ball at the Univ of Wisconsin-Eau Claire where my teams won over 80 games in 3 years. I also played for a national championship. I take pride in teaching our youth basketball and life skills.

I specialize in moving without the ball and shooting and ball handling. But more importantly, the when, where, what and why. (basketball IQ) I coach boys during my summer months as I want to coach both boys and girls. I look forward to guiding your son or daughter on their journey in basketball and would love to take them to new heights. Whether it is to become a Varsity player or better yet a college player. Confidence and mental toughness is key!!

    Coach Qs knowledge of the game is second to none. He was able to teach my son the essential basketball skills needed to improve but was also able to bring out a passion for the game that I have never witnessed in my son before training with Coach Q

    Frequently asked questions

    I really enjoy the challenge of teaching skills to different players.  Everyone is different and it is not about making players a robot who all do the same things, but it is about getting the most out of the untapped ability you already have.

    I played basketball at the college level.  I have coached at the college level.  I am currently a high school coach with over 100 wins in my first 6 years. 2 Conf titles, 2 Section titles and 2 state tournament finals appearances. I have had over 20 players that have gone on to play at the college level.

    Pricing is always negotiated with the student according to situation.  Not set in stone.  It is about helping the student achieve their goals.

    After playing in college, I was asked to join the coaching staff by my college coach.  The rest is history.

    I have worked with almost every type of player.  Inside/Outside.  As well as combo swing players that can play many different positions

    A former player of mine, Kenisha Bell was drafted by the MN Lynx

    I would advise to make sure that the teacher does not just roll out a ball and have you go thru the same boring drills that you can do on your own at home or at the playground court.  You need a teacher that can tell you the WHY of basketball and how you apply skills to actual game play

    How bad do you really want to get better and smarter.  Really ask yourself if you can motivate yourself to apply what a teacher teaches you to live action
