More About Coach Brian

I have been coaching for the last six years and training for three. I have coached and trained both middle schoolers as well as high schoolers so I know what it takes to succeed in this area. The city of Seattle has some of the most competitive High School Basketball in the entire country and I have seen first hand what it takes to be successful, and because of that I can teach it to your player. I am available for morning sessions too, so if you want a session before school, I can accommodate that as well.

I played high school basketball in Spokane for three years and have been playing in the Puget Sound league to keep my own skills sharp. I have been playing basketball for the last 20 years. I also played four years of baseball and three years of cross country in high school as well.

I would start the first session with a basic skills assessment to see what they need to work on the most. Whether its ball handling, passing, attack moves, defense/footwork, or shooting I can create session plans for all of them. After that it is more specific focus on helping the athlete improve. If he is a guard work on his attack moves and shooting. If he is a post work on his footwork, and rebounding. All the while making sure that they are learning and having fun. We can always talk about price and I can custom make a package just for you.

He was great!

I enjoyed my session with Coach Brian. The workout session was very intense and I was exhausted at the end. Coach Brian pointed out a couple of area of improvements, especially my shooting form, that I can work on.
He is a good coach to work with and I believe I can improve my basketball skills if I continue to work with him.

Brian is awesome to work with, our 7 year old boy had lots of fun and improved on shooting at very first session. Brian is very patient and great with young children. We had change of plan and Brian was very flexible to accommodate the schedule.

Was a little skeptical about doing this, but Brian was spot on. Figured out what my goals were, understood my skill set and set a program up for me that challenged me to become better. Highly recommend Brian for young or old training, his love of the game shows in everything he does.

He is such a great coach! He knew how to help me exactly. Also he asks me what drills I like and what I didn’t like and he trys to do more drills I like and find different drills instead of the drills that I didn’t like. I enjoyed the sessions with him every single time!

Our son really enjoys working with Coach Brian and has improved in all aspects of his game. The drills Coach Brian uses are something our son can continue on his own throughout the week until the next lesson.

Brian has been working with my 15 year old son on shooting and offensive moves for four sessions so far. I have already seen big improvement in his shot and his approach. Brian has a good balance between making him focus and work hard, and keeps it very positive. I think these sessions will really help my son this coming season. Also, Brian has been very easy to schedule with, even comes to our house which has been awesome.

Coach Brian is a wonderful coach, my son likes to train with him. He is an outstanding coach!

Thanks!

Coach Brian's already helped me a lot with my shot and pointed out some things I never knew I was doing. I came away from the first session with some practical tips and drills I can work on and enjoyed the session!

Great job. Well organized session with great fundamental background .

Great session with Brian. Super quick to respond and flexible with scheduling. He pushed me hard during our workout session and was easy to relate to. I'd recommend Brian to anyone (kids and adults) looking to improve their game or get into better shape.

Coach Brain is really professional on Basketball Training. I love the way he tries to build my muscle memory to improve my jump shot and ball handling. He taught me how to be a solid and smart defensive player as well. I enjoy the sessions with Coach Brian!

I am very glad that Coach Brian has the patients to take on child. My son has some more work to do but after a session I can see improvement and that the words and efforts of Coach Brian and staying with my son. If you know my son you would understand how much that means.

Coach Brian is a great coach. He knows his stuff and is very helpful and informative!

Brian, I cannot thank you enough for all the great work with the boys. You have been a tremendous positive influence during a critical time in their lives. They also had a lot of fun. Best of luck in your pursuits. Steve
Brian - Thank you so very much for coaching the team! Jman has been in bball since 1st grade on all types of teams (Rec, school teams, and select). I say this next statement wholeheartedly - you've truly been the absolute best coach for Jeremiah. He respects you and more so, he likes how you coach! Al and I will truly miss having you lead the team. I sincerely hope you'll be able to coach again and that we'd be blessed to have your leadership!
Hi Brian, We are bummed that you won’t be coaching but feel so lucky to have had you as jack’s coach for the spring/summer season at Elite. You couldn’t have been a better coach at a better time for Jack. Life hasn’t been easy for Jack and sadly, his basketball experiences hadn’t been good with coaches or teammates until this past season with you. Thank you for creating a safe and fun experience for him.
