More About Coach David
Coach Dave Wheeler coached the 2015-16 Marlborough Dukes to a 21 win season, winning regular season league championship (12-0 in league play) as well as the league playoff championship. This was followed up with a 16-2 season with only one returning starter. The Dukes were undefeated in regular season conference play and in the playoffs were runner-up in the championship game. His teams focus on three key principles... 1) We never quit, 2) We control our minds and 3) We overcome challenges. This framework allows his players to do the work that is necessary to achieve excellent results both on the court as well as in life.
Dave Wheeler competed at the collegiate level at St. Lawrence University (Canton, NY) as well as on a number of championship teams in leagues after college. Most recently, Dave coached the U15 AAU team NH Gym Rats club (2016), a Varsity AAU team 2017-2019 (Team Tang) and was an assistant for the Monadnock Region's team in the Granite State Games that won the silver medal in 2016 and the gold medal in 2018 & 2019. In addition to his coaching activities, Dave is doing research for a book about "How to Win the state championship" by talking to coaches who have won the state championship multiple times. He also interviews 1000+ point career scorers to learn the key distinctions that he teaches at his InviteOnly Basketball Camp, usually held in the Fall.
The initial session is an evaluation of the player's skills, physical capabilities and basketball goals. From this, Coach Wheeler determines which drills / activities will help the player leverage their strengths, compensate or remove weaknesses and, in general, help them improve as a basketball player. Another key part of any session is the mental aspect of athletics and every player that Dave works with learns how to use his mind to improve both his performance as well as his enjoyment of the game.

David worked extremely well with our energetic 13yo boy! He was patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. We look forward to booking future sessions for him. Highly recommend David!
Jeff (CoachUp client)
We had a good first session. My son has some anxiety about meeting new people in these types of situations and he came out of this liking Coach David. I appreciate the time taken to go over the mental aspect of basketball and life. An often forgotten part of the game that translates to life in general.

David quickly got a sense of my son's skill level and helped him move forward from there. My son has lots to think about and practice from the session and is eager for more hard work. David's manner is kind and matter-of-fact.
Graham (CoachUp client)
Excellent first session with Coach Wheeler. He listed to the athlete and parents and ran my son through an efficient session where he learned new moves, drills and positioning to make himself successful. He deployed these new skills immediately after in a 1-on-1 session with his friend!
I am also grateful that Coach Wheeler included Gavin’s parents in the session and drills so we can reinforce and help our son improve outside of his structured training.
Signing up for our second session now. Thank you Coach.
Melissa (CoachUp client)
My daughter had her first session with David. From my observation they were off to a great start and in her game the next day I thought I could see that just the hour was impacted her level of performance! I can't wait to see the difference after a couple more!

Croix Sather, World Record Holder & Keynote Speaker (Testimonial)
To understand how much I have relied on Dave’s ability, I need to share this with you. I would not have been able to run across America (also keynote speaking every day) with the success I had, without [Coach Dave Wheeler's] help. Not only did he help in the marketing and planning, but he also picked up so many loose ends that I never knew were happening at the time. Without asking, he would still find time to do things that made the tour even better. And when I was running a marathon a day and I was in pain, frustrated, and wanted to quit, I would call Dave and he always found a way to get my head on straight so that I could finish the day strong.
