More About Coach John

I was a high school player at West End High School in Birmingham, AL. I was chosen as an All-City Academic player in high school. I went on to play at Walker Junior College and was chosen as a All-State Tournament 1st Team player in the State Junior College Tournament. I went on to play at the Division II level at the University of North Alabama. I played Semi-Pro basketball with the Birmingham Stars. I have coached and developed two of three sons to play at the Junior College level at Shelton State Community College and Lawson State Junior College. Both of my sons went on to earn full scholarships and honors in basketball at Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, AL. One my sons went on to play in the NBA D-League and eventually signed contracts with the Miami Heat and the Golden State Warriors.

I have coached several community teams during the time that my two sons were growing up. A typical first session would consist of shooting, dribbling, and court agility drills to assess athletic ability as it relates to basketball. The next session would consist of shooting, dribbling, court agility drills, and basic basketball fundamentals which may include rebounding, defensive drills, passing, court awareness, and the importance of strength training and physical conditioning. The next session I will recommend personal development equipment to enhance overall game. The next session I would work on the above as determined by the needs of each athlete individually and also provide information on nutrition. The sessions would continue until the athlete began to develop, grow, and see overall improvement in his or her game. After the player felt that the sessions were no longer needed, I would request that each player provide me with a schedule of their games in order for me to attend and critique one or more of their games that they competed in order to develop a plan for continued improvement. (Things to work on)

Coach John was prepared, established a good rapport with the kids and very positive during instructions. Kids responded well and learned a lot in just two sessions that they intend to apply to their game. Will definitely look to use him again.

I learned about coach up from the Internet, and we have been very pleased with the results and progress our daughter has made since beginning her sessions with Coach John. We look forward to more success with Coach John and coach up.

My daughter has had several sessions with coach John and her confidence level has shown great improvement. Thank you Coach John!

Coach John worked with my son and was very professional and gave my son some great pointers to work on.we have already re scheduled for his next session.I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game. Thanks Coach

I was very impressed by Coach. G workouts. Humble guy and knows the game and what it take to get to the next level. The professionalism he showed in his workouts was straightforward and exciting. One thing I loved about his training, he thinks outside the box and he desires to develop your all around game. Can't wait for my next workout session with him. In conclusion I highly recommend him as a coach, if you want to take your game to the next level in any areas.

Excellent first session with Coach John very professional. Gets right into the training session with no time to waste. Had a right plan of attack in bringing out my son full potential with just a one hour session. Highly recommended. Looking forward to next training session.

I was very impressed with Coach John!!! This was my son's first session. Coach John was very professional, he had everything organized so there wasn't any wasted time. He evaluated my son, showed him proper techniques, worked on stretching and conditioning and even touched on nutrition. My son struggles with confidence and just after one session he is excited and can't wait for the next session. We look for to working with Coach John and highly recommend him! Thanks coach!
