More About Coach Brian
I genuinely enjoy the process of player development and the time it takes to see results. My height and length at 6'6" exposed me to uniquely play both the wing and post positions at the college and professional levels giving me more range for understanding all around development. I enjoy starting from the fundamental level with players looking to learn the game to more advanced workouts with players looking to play collegiate and professional basketball.
I played 4 years of Division II basketball at Barton College. I was named All-Conference twice, went to the Division II Elite Eight twice and won the National Championship in 2007. I played 4 years of professional basketball after college. Wilmington Seawdawgs All Playoff Team in the Premier Basketball League, 3rd leading scorer in the Finland 1st Division, Played for Springfield Armor in NBA G League and played in Santiago, Chile.
My sessions begin with a warm up which consists of ball handling and form shooting drills to get loose. After that drills are based on skill level of the player. Beginners will focus more on core fundamentals, whereas more advanced players on drills and movement that develop weaknesses and are gameplay related. My style isn't just to rebound for a player, I actively engage players so they can work on their offense and defense. I like to spend time focusing on a max of 3 development areas in a session instead of doing a bunch of random drills. This focuses on intentionality of muscle memory and ensures development quicker. Every player is different, so even though drills may look similar to others that have been seen, but they're tailored specifically toward the player's style.

Our daughter had a great experience working with Coach Brian who was able to tailor the sessions to focus on weaknesses and help develop and build confidence in those areas.
Jonathan (CoachUp client)
Coach Brian does a great job of identifying areas where you can improve your game. So in the training sessions, he blends the typical drills with drills that are customized to help you in areas where you can improve even more. Brian is professional in his communications and he leaves a review after each session. He is flexible to meet at a variety of locations. I highly recommend Coach Brian!

Joe (CoachUp client)
Coach Brian is a master at diagnosing the precise problem with a shot, layup, approach to the basket or other technical move, and even more importantly, teaching the correct technique to improve my game. After just a few sessions I know exactly what I need to work on, and when I focus on what Brian has taught me I see instant results! Looking forward to working with Brian for a long time to come!
Megan (CoachUp client)
Coach Brian has been a game-changer for our son's basketball journey. In just two sessions, he's boosted our son's confidence more than any camp or league has in the ten months he's been playing. He has a calm and kind presence and he creates a supportive environment where our son feels motivated to improve. His ability to break down skills and instill a passion for the game is exceptional. If you're looking for a coach who knows basketball and inspires growth and confidence, Coach Brian is the perfect choice.
Ron Lievense/Barton College Head Coach (Testimonial)
