More About Coach Brandon
I have over 28 years of playing, coaching and training athletes in basketball. I have 11 years of experience officiating. Coached various levels of basketball from parks and recreation leagues ages 5 to 14 to varsity high school for boys and girls.
I helped coach 17U boys travel basketball team called Orlando Triple Threat. The assistant coach at Olympia HS girls varsity (2015-2016 District Champions; 2016-2017 District & Regional Champions, Final 4 appearance in states). Coached four (4) players who received college schalorships. I have coached competitive level of basketball with AAU and USSSA travel teams. I have completed "Positive Coaching Alliance's Double-Goal" workshop for coaches. I was the assistant coach for the 2014 USSSA Nationals Runner- Up 9th grade girls Florida Lighting AAU team.
I have owned a basketball training company for 7 years prior to moving to Orlando called D1 Bball Skills. I typically work with all ages from elementary to the high school level.While basketball skills is the focus, I use training as a way to explain the rules an build players basketball IQ.
Athletic accomplishments:
High School - All District ( Soph - Senior),All Northern Virginia Regional player (Senior), Defense Player of the Year (Junior Year) and runner up Senior year, over 500 Rebs and 1000 Pts
College Scholarship -Division I Saint Francis University (out of HS), University of South Carolina Aiken, played in the NCAA Division II.
A typical session with me depends on what the client wants first. I usually start out with ball handling drills regardless of the focus of the day to get some basic fundamentals into the workouts. I focus on the basics. I like to use drills in the workouts while I look at their techniques. I run sessions that challenge the client as well have fun while playing the game we both love. Other than just training, I explain how the drills relate to game situations and I provide teaching of the game to build basketball IQ.

Coach Brandon worked with my two grandsons on the basics of the game, starting with the fundamentals. I highly recommend Coach Brandon, he's knowledgeable, professional, patient and cares about his trainees. Bravo Zulu to Coach Up for having Coach Brandon on thier staff.
Wilmer (CoachUp client)
It has been a pleasure having coach Brandon work with my 11 year old son. He communicates in a very understandable manner and is very patient. From the get go, Coach Brandon has been very responsive; his response time to my first inquiry came in less than 12 hours after submitting it. I am looking forward to his continuing involvement in my son's basketball journey.
John (CoachUp client)
We've only had one coaching session so far, but I was really pleased with Coach's Brandon's work out. Excited to see how much this helps:)
-Kevin Firebaugh Parent (Testimonial)
I would definitely give D1 BBall Skills at least 5 stars! Coach Brandon’s program provides what practice does not. My son benefited tremendously from the sessions. He is a wonderful teacher and motivator. He corrected/taught, but also praised when my child did well. As a dad I feel putting my son through Brandon's program was time and money well spent. He works with each student individually and they are not sharing 6-10 instructors with hundreds of other kids. Coach Brandon genuinely cares about his students. He puts 100% effort into each of his training sessions and coaches not only basketball skills but also all over player mentality. My son played for Coach Brandon for two years on a travel basketball team. Brandon is not only a great coach but a wonderful individual outside of the basketball arena.
