More About Coach Jim
I have been coaching and training for over 40 years, working with athletes all the way from middle school to the professional level. I was the head coach at Coalinga High School, assistant coach at Bullard and Central High Schools in Fresno, as well as development coach at Fresno City College and the Bakersfield Jam NBA Development League. Presently I do skill development at Bishop Gorman High School.
I played at St. Elizabeth's High School in Oakland where I was All League and All East Bay. I then went on to play at the University of Nevada Reno as well as Cal State Bakersfield.
I focus on game-related training. If you can't use it during a game, I don't cover it. My major emphasis are sprinting with the ball, starts and stops, backing up with the ball, changing directions and dribbling and shooting fundamentals.

Dear Jim: I really enjoyed spending some time with you in Sacramento. Thanks for the Video. It's a good one!" Photo of letter attached.
John Parham (Testimonial)
My son had worked with many trainers before Jim. After 1 session working with Jim, my son eliminated bad moves he had been taught, and learned how to control space. Jim will get your son, or daughter doing the things that work in a game.
