More About Coach Jake

I have trained and coached high school football and basketball players at the middle and high school levels. I have worked with Gordan Hayward in assisting with his professional camps. I have personally run high school basketball camps. I also have experience with nutrition and strength training that can help athletes who need to gain or lose weight.

I was a three year starting running back and point guard at Hurricane High School where I played in 3 state championships. I achieved all state honors and region MVP. I was given a athletic scholarship to play at Dixie State University.

I specialize with helping with ball handling and shooting. My work outs depend on individuals weaknesses and strengths. I evaluate what areas the player needs help with and adjust accordingly. I have experience working with all positions and helping them become versatile. I will not use your time on conditioning (unless requested) only drills that will help developed skills. Session price and length debatable.

Great coach.

Very knowledgeable in the sport of football, he feel comfortable with him being my main trainer/coach to get me prepared for my next season.

Unlike other coaches we have used in the past, Coach Jake accurately assessed the skill level of my two young boys and ran them through drills appropriate for their ages and experience.

Coach Jake was encouraging and taught my son some great drills to help improve his game!

Coach Jake is amazing! He gave my son lots of good tips and drills to practice in between sessions. We highly recommend him, We drove all the way from Idaho and will be doing it again.

Coach Jake was really knowledgeable in areas critical for a good foundation. First session was very helpful and we'll be scheduling more soon!

Very professional and punctual. My son got very good tips and focused workout

Coach Jacob has been incredible to work with. He was patient, kind, and motivating. He encouraged my son to keep working when things were difficult, and I saw an instant improvement in my son's coordination, agility, speed, and lateral mobility. I would recommend Coach Jacob to anyone, and we will definitely book him again.

Coach Jacob took the time to watch and evaluate my son and his needs. Gave him the training to move up to the next level. Booking next session now.

I had a good first day practice with coach jake. I learned some new fundamentals.

Coach Jacob worked with my son in basketball and the results were completely amazing. After being near the bottom of the stats in his first basketball game, I decided to look into private coaching. After the first week of working with Coach Jacob, his skills were so improved that for the rest of the season, he led the team in rebounds and was first or second leader in points scored. The team went 9-2 and played in the championship game.

Jacob knows how to identify what a player needs and he knows the drills and the homework needed to make ongoing improvements. I definitely plan to use him in the future.

Coach Jacob is very professional, friendly and very patient with kids. He knows what he is doing and how to teach basketball. His training and techniques are very proficient. My son was very happy after having a first session with him and he is very excited for the next session with Coach Jacob. Coach Jacob is awesome and very professional. I definitely recommend Coach Jacob to anyone that wants to be professional.
Thank you Coach Jacob

Coach Jacob was a great coach! My son really enjoyed his lesson. Coach Jacob ran a lot of drills that made him feel like he was playing a game of one on one with a friend. We will be going back for more.

Coach Jacob is awesome. He relates well with my 10 year old son, and motivates him to do more. My son was smiling the entire training session.

Coach Jacob ran some good drills for my boys. They enjoyed their sessions and learned some new things to work on in their personal training.

Had a great first experience and my son is already looking forward to the next session with Coach Jake! My son learned some great things to keep him moving in between sessions - well worth our time and money well spent!

Coach Jake was fabulous with my boys. They each learned new skills and have more confidence in basketball!

Jacob was awesome with my son. He was very patient and showed him valuable stretches and drills that my son was able to understand.
