More About Coach Joseph

I am a coach's son. At the age of 4 I picked up a basketball and haven’t put it down since. Before entering college, I worked as the Basketball Camp Coordinator for the YMCA for two summers and then the Head Basketball Coach for Queens College Summer Camp for three years.

I played in the CHSAA High School league for 4 years in New York and then went to be a 4 year letter athlete for Union College in Schenectady, NY where I obtained my Bachelors of Science degree in Biology. After playing college, I spent a summer traveling and playing basketball semi-professionally.

When I completed playing basketball competitively, I started working as an After School Program Coordinator. There I ran athletic drills & games for a group of 12-15 junior high school students. I then went on to become the Boys Junior High School Basketball Coach for Susan B. Anthony in Queens, NY where we advanced to the league championship in my first year as coach. Before relocating to Virginia, I worked for Fastbreak Kids Inc. as a 6th grade Boy's Basketball Coach and Personal Basketball Trainer for athletes, grades 5 through 12.

As you can see, basketball has been my life and as much as I loved playing it, I love helping others get better in the sport. I have played with several well known NBA & European players and have trained a wide range of basketball players, from beginners to semi-pro. I love what I do and take it very seriously. I have hung my basketball sneakers from a full time perspective but love training in my spare time, continuing to help players of all ages develop.

I had taken time some time away from coaching due to rupturing my Achilles. But fully healed and ready to get back out there

I have played all four years of high school basketball for the Hall of Fame coach Jack Curran at Archbishop Molloy HS in New York City. While there I was an honor student and starting PG for the the Freshmen Team, starting SG for the JV City Championship Team and starting PG for the Varsity Team which advanced to the City Championship both years I was on the team. I spent my summers playing for several well known NYC AAU Teams; NYC Jaguars & Long Island Panthers. I then went on to play for Union College in Albany, NY from 2003-2007. While playing for Union, I was awarded the Team's Most Improved Player, named to the Sig Makofski All-Tournament Team and was a key contributor for the Liberty League Championship Team who advanced to the 2nd round of the DIII NCAA Tournament all in my sophomore year '04-'05. I then was awarded Liberty League First-Team honors, Team MVP, Sig Makofski All-Tournament Team and the Team Captain in my senior year '06-'07. After college, I was invited to several pro basketball camps in the US as well as in Germany.

With my playing days slowing down, I began to coach athletes throughout the tri-state area of New York. I am very honored to say that 90% of the junior high kids I coached went on to play for their Varsity Basketball Teams as well as academic accomplishments. And about 80% of the kids I coached in high school have gone on to play for their college teams.

My Sessions are setup to train the complete body, mentally and physically. Every session begins with a light warm up and then a good stretch to build flexibility. Once the player is loose and warm, the real workout begins. My sessions are made up of agility drills, strength training, & basic to advance dribbling, shooting and defensive drills. The last segment of the session is where the player really gets challenged. Just like at the end of a game, I want to see how well the player can perform with mental and physical fatigue. This last section of the workout is usually made up of several drills that will challenge the player to complete while tired.

Great instruction. Great feedback . My son really enjoyed his session today.

Coach Joseph was great with my daughter. Very patient with a positive mind set. Great for boosting her confidence!

Coach Joe was fantastic! My 9 yo son came in with a set of goals and we left meeting and surpassing each hitting the core fundamentals as well as great drills/techniques we can carry on with. Extremely personable, professional and caring about my son's well being throughout the sessions. Great way to start the basketball season - both my son and I highly recommend Coach Joe!

Coach Joseph is a great coach. I enjoy how he motivates my son at each session. My 10 year old son is working on more and more drills and techniques. I would recommend Coach Joseph because of his exceptional coaching!

I learned a lot of useful information and i feel like I'm already better in the game !!

Coach Joseph is great! Best advice I can give you is to give him a try and see for yourself.

Great coach, makes you work but after only one session I feel already better

Great coach! Extremely dedicated and patient, but he also makes you work hard. Super friendly and very knowledgeable. The sessions are always fun and well-rounded. During the first session, I couldn't even make a layup consistently. I've had three sessions so far, and I can definitely see my basketball skills skyrocketing.

We loved coach Joseph. He gave my son a fun and well rounded training session! He has been a great communicator from the start. He was on time, super friendly and a great coach! My son said he had a great time and can't wait to have another session!

Joseph is professional, extremely skilled and knowledgeable in the game of basketball. My son son learned a variety of strengthening and hand to eye coordination techniques that he can apply to his game after just one session. We will definitely work with him again. Five stars for Coach Joseph!

Because because of Coach Joes sessions, my child’s confidence on the court has drastically improved in a short time. The sessions are challenging but rewarding.
