More About Coach Brian

I have over 10 years of player development experience. Most recently, I have worked as the Director of Player Development at Davidson College. There, I worked with multiple all-conference players and NBA/European pro prospects as well as players from the Korean, Icelandic, Israeli, Austrian, Danish and Swedish national teams. I have run my own camps and trained players throughout America, Europe and Australia. I have worked with players who are just starting all the way up to players with professional experience.

I was an All-A10 performer at Davidson College and helped lead my team to the NCAA tournament. I finished my career with 1,565 total points which ranks first among transfers at Davidson and 12th on the all-time scoring list. I am ranked second at Davidson behind Steph Curry in Single Season 3-pointers made and Career 3-pointers made. I graduated as the NCAA's active leader in 3-pointers made with 351 in 125 games.

After graduating from College I played professionally in Germany, Czech Republic and Australia. I led the Czech league in scoring at 21.5 ppg until getting injured. In Australia I helped lead my team to the NBL1 West final and was top 3 in MVP votes.

Sessions plans will be personalized for each player depending on age, skill and goals. Workouts will be built around fundamentals and whether the focus be ball handling/shooting/passing etc., there will be attention to detail on footwork and how the skill translates to game situations. Each workout will include segments where the player is practicing making decisions that would arise in a game situation. Lastly, and most importantly, I will aim to create an environment that players can make mistakes, try new things and grow in their enjoyment of basketball.

Is an amazing coach, helped our son out tremendously!!

Brian did an outstanding job with my son! He was supportive and encouraging, and pressed him harder when drills seem to come easy for him. Loved the coaching style and had great drills to work on my son's technique. Finally, he had great repoire with both me and my son. My son's first question when we got in the car was, "when can we see coach Brian again"? Soon, very soon!

My son had a great time with Brian and is wanting to go back!

Brian is amazing. He is very knowledgeable and communicates effectively. I’ve never seen my son (14) both enjoy, and learn so much from one lesson. I rebooked with him immediately and recommend him highly.

Coach Brian worked with our high school son while in-season and really talked to him to understand what he wanted to get out training. He did a great job teaching him and equipping him with some excercises he can practice on own. He connected by pointing to specific players to watch on how they accomplish certain plays that were really helpful. He also did a great job talking about the mental aspects of decision making on plays. Very approachable easy to talk to coach.

My daughter has been enjoying working with Coach Brian. He brings a ton of experience and is a great teacher. My daughter is in 7th grade and he has done good job communicating and working with her to elevate her game. Highly recommended!

Brian is an excellent coach and my son enjoyed the session! My son learned some skills that he was able to apply to his training and in his next game!

My son had a great first coaching session with Coach Brian

Great session with Brian, my son walked away with some great tips and exercises to work on, he is really stoked and excited!

Great coach!!!!

We were very impressed with Brian and Eli is really looking forward to his next session. It’s rewarding as parents to see a coach making such a positive difference in our child and we can see that Coach Brian loves what he does.

Coach Brian has excellent technical skills and is fantastic at communicating those skills in a way that my son can immediately put into action. He's definitely improving his game.

Coach Brian has been great! In just the first few training sessions, he has developed a great relationship with my son and his and techniques have already started to make a positive difference. Thanks Coach Brian!

Brian has been extremely engaged in working to directly pinpoint the skills and basketball acumen that my son was needing to develop as he worked this way through trying out for high school basketball. He met him where his skills were and started to raise him up. Great listener and able to get through with good examples and excellent insights.

Coach Brian was an excellent choice for our son who is trying out for high school basketball. We felt a one on one coach would boost his confidence prior to try outs. He responded right away and connected with our son immediately upon meeting him. He took the time prior to their first session to get to know Our som and understand his goals. During their session he identified our son’s strengths and opportunities and gave him some useful tips. Our son is now eagerly looking forward to his next session with coach Brian and based on our sons response and feedback we know we made the right choice in choosing Brian.

Coach Brian was very positive and tailored the session to meet my daughter's goals. He was very well prepared and had great drills which my daughter could then practice on her own. I would definitely recommend Coach Brian to any athlete looking to improve.

Coach Brian is very professional and knowledgeable, working out with him is super engaging and I learned a lot just from the first session!

Brian is great with my 9 year old daughter. Very patient and keeps her engaged by making the lesson fun! Highly recommend!

I could not recommend Coach Brian more highly!!! My 10 year old son has basketball fever and plays in the local leagues here in Denver. While I greatly appreciate the volunteer coaches who run his team, they just don't have the time nor the experience to truly teach the game. Coach Brian emphasizes the fundamentals of the game while bridging the drills into fun activities; my son just can't get enough and both his skill level & enjoyment of the game have grown exponentially. My 12 year old daughter, who also plays basketball, has noticed how much better her brother has gotten since he's been working with Coach Brian and now she wants to work with him as well.

If you're considering a private coach for your son or daughter, or for yourself, you will be absolutely thrilled with Brian!!

Brian is patient and encouraging! My son is only 8 and doesn’t have much experience, but I already see so much improvement and he had fun while learning. We’re looking forward to our next session!

Brian is a great coach! He is very knowledgable in all aspects of the game and makes his workouts fun. I can already see improvement in my son.

Workouts with Brian really helped my game!
Working with Brian is an awesome experience. His first hand experience playing and coaching at the highest level sets him apart. He was able to help me with all aspects of my game. Lastly, Brian has a great way of bringing joy to a workout while getting the most of a player.
I've worked with Brian for 3 years. He brought tremendous sense of competitiveness and knowledge. His coaching was filled with insight and inspired by his successful playing career and the experience that came from that. His workouts are passionate, challenging and detail oriented with a clear emphasis on adding value to game situations.
