More About Coach Benjamin

Have trained NCAA division I and II, NAIA, high-school, and middle-school basketball players. I currently work as a manager for a Division I basketball program, Depaul University. I am currently the 8th grade boys coach for the Chicago based travel AAU team, All in Athletics, and have worked with players in the program ranging from 8th to 12th grade. I also assisted at the 2019 NBA Draft Combine at Quest Multisport and have worked under other NBA skill development coaches in the Chicago area. I have also worked at youth camps such as, Doug Bruno Girls Basketball Camp, a basketball development camp focused on shooting and fundamentals. I am currently studying exercise science and understand the importance of physical fitness and athletic performance in translating to skills on the basketball court, which will be included in the training. Founder of The Elite Training, individual basketball training.

I have played through elementary school, high-school, and have a little university experience overseas in Dakar, Senegal. I played point and shooting guard throughout my playing career. In high-school my basketball team I won MVP, athlete of the year, and the West African Athletic League title for basketball in both 2015 and 2016. Although I have not played at the professional level I have had the privilege to train with many top level college and pro players as well.

Every workout will include drills and exercises I use for college-level athletes. Each player will began with me assessing their skill level in shooting, dribbling, finishing etc, as well as understanding the players personal goals. I run high energy, fast paced workouts so that you get the most from your session and incorporate conditioning and footwork into every skill development workout. I will focus on fundamentals as well as effectively translating those skills to game like drills and concepts that are transferable in any system. I also emphasize the importance of efficient shooting, finishing, rebounding, defensive footwork, and passing. Drills and sessions vary based on players ability and position although normally began with a dynamic warmup before moving to ball handling, passing, and footwork. We will then work on shooting and finishing before narrowing in on specific skills and offensive moves based on your position and skill level.

Great coach! Has given me plenty of excellent drills which I can practice and perfect on my own time.

Coach Ben shows initiative by making sure the player is aware of their mistakes and what they can improve, his drills are also very effective and game specific

I worked with Benjamin and he was very detailed oriented. Provided great feedback during practice and afterwards. Very fun to work with. He has a lot of experience and I will be signing up for my classes.

I am a senior Point Guard that played for Robert Morris University. I’ve been working out with Ben (The Elite Training) for almost 5 months and within those 5 months I’ve improved and seen my game go to another level. Throughout my life I haven’t experienced any type of training like I do with Ben. His training consists of paying attention to detail, reps, and being consistent. Ben has a really high basketball IQ and is very knowledgeable about the game of basketball. Every time I’m in the gym with him he pushes me to another level and teaches me now things. In my eyes Ben is the best trainer in Chicago and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about the game of basketball and wants to get better.
