More About Coach Brett

While dedicated to the progress of skill development and athletic ability for student-athletes, I feel that it is equally significant to build confidence and integrity. It is also very important to interact with parents, staff, and students with great professionalism and build lasting relationships that can serve as a strong foundation for a successful program, on and off the court.

Client Reviews

My 13 yr old daughter was very much against getting a private coach. I finally and begrudgingly convinced her to commit to 5 lessons with Coach Brett and then decide if she wanted to continue further or stop taking lessons. For some background, my daughter is a pretty decent basketball player with excellent athletic abilities. Her game needed some refinement and I was convinced she should try some coaching outside her school team coach. Mind you, he is an excellent coach and has been her coach since the 5th grade. It was our belief that a student could just not get the individual coaching she needed to significantly improve her skills in basketball with just her team practices and games. We decided to hire her a personal coach and with Coachup's help, we found Coach Brett.

From our very 1st session, my daughter and Coach hit it off and I could not believe the differences it made in her game. This season, she has went from just one of the team's guard's to a starting point guard that has made significant improvements in her game. She has become one of the best players on a 7th grade team that has had an impressive record over the past 3 years. Back to my daughter....both her and I have been in awe about the changes Coach Brett has made in her game. After 5 lessons, she has significantly improved her dribbling, ball handling and shooting skills and we are both so thankful for meeting Coach Brett.

Well after the 4th lesson, I asked her if she wanted to continue with Coach Brett and she emphatically said yes. We have now bought the next 5 lessons and look forward to working with Coach Brett over the next few years. It is by far the best money we have spent for our daughter in sports. There is no team coaching, travel or otherwise, that can do for your child what a good personal coach can do and for the money, it is a bargain.

Thanks Coachup for introducing us to Coach Brett!!

Brett is a terrific coach. My son has learned so much from him.

Coach Brett exceeded mine and my daughter's expectations. He works fantastic drills and she improved shooting and ball handling after the first session! Very kind and professional as well. Couldn't have asked for more. Thrilled!!

Tremendous first session! My son walked out of the one-on-one session with nothing positive statements about Coach Brett. He was excited to go out and practice the drills he was taught. He is looking forward to future sessions. Thanks Coach Brett!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Brett for over the past three years having first interacted with Brett when he was employed as the Assistant Facilities Director for the Ackerman Sports and Fitness Center, a Glen Ellyn Park District facility. At the time, Brett displayed a strong work ethic, enthusiasm for recreation and the ability to work cooperatively and productively with both staff and the patrons. In the athletic and recreation industry, those that display a passion for an element within those areas tend to be the strongest and most engaged employee. It became apparent that Brett was extremely passionate about basketball and his willingness and desire to share his knowledge of the sport with others. As a result of his love of the sport and the growing demand for his basketball instruction, Brett created and developed the Brett Love Basketball Training program. The program was a complete, holistic experience involving evaluation of the player, creation of a unique and personalized training program, identifying ambitious yet achievable goals, mentoring regarding both basketball and life skills while using the latest training methods and technology to enhance the efforts and elevate the results. Within a short period of time, Brett quickly established himself as top basketball trainer within DuPage County. As Executive Director of the Glen Ellyn Park District, I was both impressed by how quickly and reputable his program developed and excited to have his program associated with the Ackerman Sports and Fitness Center. Brett has shared with me his desire to coach and influence high school athletes. He recognizes how important athletics was in shaping and developing himself as person. While basketball was a passion, it also motivated and inspired Brett to attain his Masters of Science in Recreation Administration. Since then, Brett has evolved and expanded his experience by coaching several AAU teams, feeder programs and High School girl’s basketball. I have observed Brett run a practice, conduct one on one training sessions and also coach and manage game situations. He is engaged, even tempered, organized, focused, and enthusiastic, caring and has a tremendous perspective – competitive yet grounded. Brett is professional in his communication and dealings with parents and officials and has a personal yet professional interaction with his players and clients.
