Experience training D1 athletes
Iāve been playing basketball under the whistle since I was seven years old. Iāve played in leagues and on teams all across NYC, most notably:
Two nationally ranked Lehman College Basketball teams
Three years of Varsity Basketball for Chelsea High School in lower Manhattan.
Blessed to have spent nearly 25 years living the game... it is truly my life's passion. I look forward to sharing what I've learned, and as always, continuing to learn myself.
Every session will be different depending on my clients goals, strengths/weaknesses, and overall skill level.
Every player is unique and will be catered to as such.
I believe that a player's natural strength should be sharpened into tools and their weakness exploited until they are no longer weaknesses. Be great at what you naturally do well, but do not leave holes in your game. We will work on improving a specific skill for each session.
Want to improve your shooting mechanics or touch?
One on one skills?
Strength and conditioning for basketball related movements?
Yoga for recovery?
Functional and efficient ball-handling?
Defensive footwork/lateral quickness?
Kobe fadeaway?
No problem! Let's get to work.
Iām an all around player with a background in formal and non-formal training. I have a keen eye for detail and Iām confident I can help any client improve any skill set with results to follow.
Conditioning is key! Iām happy to run sprints with you or play 1 on 1 after our sessions... that being said Iām typically very detail oriented, especially if an athlete is in season and a speedy recovery is necessary.
We will never workout for more than 60 minutes. I believe an ideal basketball workout is an intense 50 minutes with small breaks, much like a real game.
It is important not to over-train, workouts will be challenging but not so strenuous that a player wont be able to have successful workouts throughout the week after our session.

Client Reviews
Austin (CoachUp client)
Jonah was awesome! Down to earth, honest and skilled! Will definitely book more sessions! šš½
Brittany (CoachUp client)
Coach Jonah is an incredible coach. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. My son (12y) is prepping for school try-outs, and we decided to book some time with the coach. The workout consisted of identifying strengths and areas of improvement. Coach worked on footwork, shooting, building confidence in the weaker hand, and mentality. My son quickly took to Jonah's coaching style and was able to learn a ton very quickly. They even played a game of 1x1!
Coach Jonah wasn't the closest coach to us but had the best reviews and a co-worker also travels with his kids to train with him, so we gave it a go. I would recommend anyone considering this coach, to pull the trigger. The extra commute time is well worth the level of skill and knowledge of basketball.
Debbie (CoachUp client)
Coach Jonah is fantastic. Very patient, caring, and motivating!
Alberto (CoachUp client)
Coach Jonah is an excellent Coach. We have done 4 sessions so far and I noticed a huge improvement in not only my daughterās game but her confidence. He takes his time teaching and developing her weaknesses and strengths. We will continue to use Coach Jonah moving forward. Thank you Coach!
Rebecca (CoachUp client)
Coach Jonah is great! Positive attitude and feedback was just what we were looking for!
Joanne (CoachUp client)
This was our first session with Coach Jonah. It exceeded our expectations! My sons took to him right away. His coaching style was easy, focused, and very effective. Just one hour of coaching made a difference in how they approach their basketball playing. He gave us an excellent analysis of their strengths and weaknesses, as well as a realistic path toward improvement. It was the exact type of direction that we were looking for, but had not yet found through countless camps and clinics. My sons are already looking forward to their next session. I'm excited to see how much they will progress with Coach Jonah's expertise.
Tracy (CoachUp client)
My son had an excellent coaching session with Coach Jonah. He is so excited to go again to his training sessions. Coachās rapport with my son have him confidence and he had great suggestions for him personally. We would definitely recommend Coach Jonah.
Shanel (CoachUp client)
Coach Joanah was great! My daughter is returning to basketball after an ACL tear and repair. We came to her first session and he was well prepared and got her straight to work while also focusing on making sure she did not over work the knee. She was very comfortable with him and he spoke with her regarding long term goals. She excited to continue training with him.

Coach Jonah is amazing at helping you take your skills, knowledge and strength to the next level. My 12 year old daughter is really focused on improving her skills on the court and Coach Jonah has been amazing at helping her gain a true understanding of the fundamentals and elevate her abilities very quickly. He provides really great insight, clarity and drills during the coaching but also provides suggestions to work on in between the sessions. It's really made it a lot of fun for my daughter and the progress has been incredibly exciting to see. My daughter is now really excited to show her teammates what she has been working on and the points she will be scoring in the upcoming season. I highly recommend you connect with Coach Jonah to experience real progress in the sport of Basketball.
Shashana (CoachUp client)
Coach Jonah is a great coach! He is a great match for my 8 year old son, who is not easy. My son was comfortable and got a nice workout in. It was like they've known each other for a long time. He's excited about his next session! I know he can only get better with Coach Jonah by his side.
