More About Coach Donovan
I am a Varsity coach and director of a youth basketball club (Team WIN) and I have coached teams that have competed on the Adidas gauntlet and other nationally ranked tournaments. I have trained a number of athletes of all skill levels with many of them going on to playing for their Varsity teams as High School freshmen and sophomores, as well as committing to division 1 and 2 schools.

1 Year at TSU
8 months overseas with the Taiwanese Gallopagus Hei-Chus (SBG)
In our sessions, players will learn how to play the game, learn the game as well as think the game. Players will focus on concepts like the core fundamentals, footwork, shooting mechanics and playing without the ball,d as well as being a coachable player. We build the mind first, then the skill. Very few “drills”, more in game simulations. If a player is willing to give his or her all, I can help in them achieving whatever goals they’ve set for themselves.

Client Reviews
Gregg (CoachUp client)
Thoughtful and motivating coach for my 10 yr old son. Great focus on the fundamentals.
Ankur (CoachUp client)
I bought a package for a few lessons. For a smoker that hasn’t been in the gym for years his first training session was on point. Don has a great attitude towards life with positive vibes. Easy to coordinate and understanding if need to reschedule. Looking forward to the next few lessons.
Jia (CoachUp client)
Coach Donovan was so great with my son. He had great energy and was attentive and patient. My son learned so much and really enjoyed the fun time!
Amber (CoachUp client)
My 12 year old son really enjoyed his time with coach Donovan and we will be continuing our journey with him! His goal is to be a confident player and make it to point guard. I believe with his dedication and coach Donovan he can get there.
Denise (CoachUp client)
My son was never interested in basketball. But because of coach Donovan, he not only plays it with enthusiasm but also gained the confidence to play it in school everyday. He is very patient with kids and his techniques have helped develop my son’s skills.
Anthony (CoachUp client)
My son absolutely loved our initial session and we are looking forward to continuing the process. Coach Donovan is amazing with my son and his patience is unmatched. Coach really takes his time to bring you along.
John (CoachUp client)
After training with Coach Donovan my son has great confidence in what he can do now and what he has done with the training session. As a former high school and lower level football coach Coach Donovan is very impressive. He understands the different types of basketball being played in different regions. Going to keep coming back since my son can wait until the next session.
Perry (CoachUp client)
Coach Don was great with my 8 year old. He knows how to encourage and motivate kids. My son showed improvement even after just one lesson. Would highly recommend!
