John H.

I been playing basketball for over 35 years and I have been coaching basketball for over 2 years. I have been fortunate to play the game that I love in North Carolina, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and overseas in Iraq. I have trained student athletes from the ages of 4 to full age adults since 2016. I am instrumental in the local community through volunteering my personal time in the effort of serving as a coach and mentor to the youth in the city of Killeen, Texas. I have coached 8u Flag Football, 10u Girls Basketball and 12u Boys Basketball since 2016. I have distinguished myself through selfless service to the surrounding community by consistently aiding the Youth Sports Programs to develop the future on and off the court. As a coach, donating time to serve the players and the community, my actions and passion focused on improving the opportunities for youth to play the wonderful games of football and basketball. I also serve as a Big Brother to the kids ensuring that they were successful within their school work during their school term. My willingness to get involved, to build and sustain motivation among the youth and Family members made a positive difference for the Fort Hood and Killeen community. I'm currently the Lead Instructor and Mentor at the Hines D1 Elite Basketball where we focus on individual skill player development by striving to assist every student athlete in their pursuit to become a fundamentally sound student athlete.
