More About Coach Joey
I am a former professional basketball player and basketball skills trainer with several years of professional playing experience in Europe as well as Division 1 experience. I have started at the point guard position for each team I played for in Spain, Germany and Finland, and ranked in the top of the league in scoring multiple years. I attended the University of Pennsylvania, where I was a 1,000 point scorer, 3-time All-Ivy player, and 2-time captain and Team MVP.
I have been providing private as well as group training sessions to athletes of all ages and skill levels since 2007. I currently coach at my alma mater, Germantown Academy, as Varsity Assistant. I served as the Head JV Coach and Varsity Assistant in 2009-2010, in which our team won the Pennsylvania Independent State Championship. I have trained several current Girls Varsity basketball players as well as a handful of DI, II, and III players.
My focus is on providing effective and efficient skills training, focusing on each athlete specifically. Ballhandling, shooting, one-on-one moves, defensive footwork, movement without the ball, finishing at the basket, and conditioning are just some of the elements of my workouts. I will work with each player to develop a specific plan to enhance your strengths, work on weaknesses and add new elements to your game in the most efficient way possible. I am passionate and confident that with hard work, results will happen. I believe I can relate to many athletes and it is my goal to help each player see their true potential and provide them with the tools to reach it.
-Overseas player in Spain, Germany and Finland
-DI 1,000 point scorer

While sessions are individualized to each player's profile and goals, we will focus on guard skills, including ballhandling, shooting, footwork and finishing around the basket. Each drill serves a purpose and players will work on enhancing their skills as well as simulating game situations.

Could not speak more highly of our experience with coach Joey. I was very happy because she worked the fundamentals with my son. There was purpose to the work and he really enjoyed it. I can easily see how he will develop as a player with her and look forward to the continued training.
Mark (CoachUp client)
Joey is terrific! She has a keen eye for technique. She worked with our son to improve his shooting and movement to create his own shot. He looks forward forward to continue working with her.

Coach Joey is an excellent trainer. Her attention to detail is exceptional. She is also good at keeping the session fun for my 10 year old son while, at the same time, running a very productive, intense training session. Not easy to pull that off...Well done!
Kris (CoachUp client)
She did a great job identifying improvement areas for our daughter and we look forward to scheduling more lessons!
Gary (CoachUp client)
We are super excited about our daughters progress. In a very short period of time Coach Joey has increased her skill set. She does it in a fun and non threatening way. At the same time she does not take it easy on her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for private coaching
Frank (CoachUp client)

I was very impressed with Joey’s knowledge and technique. I could see that every tip she gave my daughter instantly improved her technique and with work, hopefully becomes habit. She related easily to my daughter who was nervous about training with someone she didn’t know. We both loved her!

Coach Joey was phenomenal! She got to know Ava and went right into practical, fun training and drills that already helped with Ava's game after just one session.
I can't wait to see the results after more sessions. Thanks Coach Joey!

If you want to learn basketball or improve your game or take your skills to a higher level- you need to work with Joey! She has a great attitude and is an excellent Teacher, Coach and Player. Joey is very good at analyzing a players skills and abilities. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of remedial exercises to help the player. I am amazed in only 5 sessions, my daughter's basketball skills have improved dramatically. If you want the best, look no further. Joey Rocks! Thank you so much Joey!
