More About Coach Dion
I have a comprehensive coaching background encompassing a variety of age groups and skill levels. This includes prior experience coaching both the boys and girls divisions at J. R. Global Basketball in Orange County.
I further honed my coaching skills during a five-year tenure at West Covina High School, where I coached Varsity and Junior Varsity. Following this, I dedicated three years to serve as an Assistant Basketball Coach at the NAIA level for Bristol University in Anaheim.
Currently, I am actively engaged in coaching boys' basketball for a high school in Irvine and have recently taken on the role of Assistant Coach for the SlamBalls Lava Team, a position I have held since the summer of 2023. My diverse coaching experiences have provided me with a well-rounded perspective and the skills necessary for coaching success.
Played for two years at a Junior College at Santa Rosa.
Played for two years at Utah State University where we won conference titles in 2000 & 2001, NCAA Tournament appearances in both years.
Played 3 seasons with the Los Cabos Marlins in the Mexican CIBACOPA league.
Played Slamball for 3 seasons with the Bouncers in LA.
I aim to deliver premier hands-on sports and performance training to my clients by establishing successful partnerships that endure throughout the training journey. My objective is to cultivate an environment characterized by positivity, competitiveness, and discipline, all while maintaining a consistent balance of hard work and respect.

Robert (CoachUp client)
My 16 year-old son and I agree that Dion is a great coach! My son has had three sessions with him and we just booked multiple more because we're seeing clear improvement. Dion is not only always prepared, but he clearly listens to what the goals of the individual are and adapts the training to meet those goals, and he makes the sessions dynamic and exciting. The sessions are solid workouts and my son very much looks forward to what he can learn next from Dion. We highly recommend Coach Dion!
Janet (CoachUp client)
Best decision I’ve made by choosing Coach Dion. Prior to my first training session with him, he took the time to get to know me and understand my personal goals. He is very professional, organized, and well structured in his plans. He is also motivated and determined to make sure that I reach them by tailoring the trainings. Upon my first session, he was able to help me learn new skills and pushed me past limits that I wasn’t confident in before. This experience really motivates me to continue training, and I couldn’t be more thankful. I appreciate his mindset, love for the game, and passion to help his students grow in ways that even transcends the game by building mental strength and improving physical health. What makes me appreciate Coach Dion even more is that he is very humble and patient. Please consider him for training.
Thank you, Coach Dion, for a great experience. Can’t wait to train more with you!
