More About Coach Joseph

I am an Atlanta Hawks Youth Basketball Development Coach. I have been training privately for 4 years. I specialize in progressive training that meets each athlete at their individual readiness level. I incorporate basketball I.Q., conditioning, and mental toughness during my sessions to enhance the over all development of the player. My athletes train with challenging drills and techniques used by college and professional athletes. A typical session, which lasts between 1-2 hours, would include a dynamic warm up, strength and core training, speed and agility work, ball handling reps, game situations, offense and defense skills sets, etc. The workout will depend on the needs of the athlete.
Knowing the importance of grades for a basketball player, I will not train any athlete who is failing in school. I played at Point University and at the University of West Georgia. Aside youth coaching/training with the Atlanta Hawks, I also coach with a company that runs youth camps for professional athletes. I love to help young basketball players take their game to the next level, but I do require hard work and dedication. My training schedule is open and flexible, and I am willing to travel around metro Atlanta.

Client Reviews

Coach Joseph R. is amazing. He possesses great knowledge and skills and is effectively helping my son develop his abilities.

Solid trainer, would recommend for youth coaching

Coach Joseph has all the skills and knowledge to advance a player's game to the next level. I engaged him to help train my daughter in preparation for high school ball. His sessions are clearly making an impact by improving her base fundaments in addition to expanding her abilities for handling pressure and creating space for shooting and/or attacking the basket.

Coach Joe did a wonderful job today!!! My son loved the training session and worked hard on several fundamentals. I Highly recommend Coach Joe!

Coach Joseph was great to work with! He taught my son a bunch of new things on the 1st day. We are so excited to continue working with him!

Great coach . Showed me how to shoot more efficiently.

Excellent!

No complaints at all. Coach Joe challenges my son during the sessions in ways that both increase his confidence but also gives him perspective. He's been very patient. We'll be seeing coach for a while.

Coach Joseph is fantastic!!! He is very kind and knowledgeable! Thank you!

In just one session, my son has improved and he really enjoyed himself.

Wow! We all loved Coach Joe! He was so encouraging and engaging with both our 7 and 9 year old. We can’t wait for our next lesson!

My daughter enjoyed her session we Coach Joseph. She had one session and already feels like it will benefit her so we have booked more. We are looking forward to seeing her improve with his guidance.

Just had my grandson’s first day of training and I couldn’t have asked for a better coach. Coach Joe was awesome and his technique of teaching, phenomenal. My grandson did well and was pleased and felt confident with the workout. I would highly recommend coach!

Coach Joe is a great coach. He easily assessed my son’s strengths and weaknesses and gave clear, specific guidance for improvement while actively engaging with him during training. He is pleasant, patient, encouraging, and a good communicator who knows basketball. My son is looking forward to regular sessions with him.

Coach Joseph was on time and had all the gear to workout my son. He took my opinion on what type of work I wanted him to have. He is very knowledgeable and answer every question my son asked. I definitely got my money worth of training and would recommend him.

Coach Joe is wonderful! He assessed where my son was with his skills and identified what he needed to do to improve. He’s very encouraging and positive. Coach Joe is very athletic and energetic and did the drills right along with my son. My husband and I, and my son are all enjoying having him Coach our son! My son is definitely showing improvements after his first four lessons! Thank you Coach!

My son had a great first session with Coach Joe. He did many drills with him and I could already see improvement after just that first session. He was patient, clear and encouraging. My son was exhausted, having not worked that hard in a while, but happy that he was learning and making progress.

Great coach . My son said he learned a lot in the first session . We will be purchasing more sessions.

Great first session with my 15 year old son! He couldn’t stop talking about it after they finished. Excited about continuing to have him work with Coach Joseph.

Coach Joseph was amazing. My son is 8. He absolutely loved the lesson. He is very new to basketball and Coach Joseph was great with going over small steps about the basics of dribbling and shooting. He changed their activity regularly which kept my son focused on the new task at hand. He talked to him about protection and tactics. By the end of the practice they had put together those small steps into real play. As someone who knows nothing about basketball, I could see each part come together. He was fully engaged and enjoying himself. I took notes and now my son has real things he can work on at home, both skills and strengthening. He walked off the court tired but glowing. 1 lesson. At his game last night, my son was fully engaged and there was a definite difference to his energy and his actions, even without the ball. He had his first real catch, turn and pass without losing the ball. And his first real "fight" for the ball with another player. His coach noticed the difference. He was a different player. Seriously, after 1 lesson. I can't wait to see what more lessons do for him play and confidence.

Great first session. Will work with him again.

Very knowledgeable of my daughters skills. He paid extra attention on her weaknesses. My daughter was overly pleased with him, an looking forward to more sessions.

I thought Coach Joe was great in the first session for my 11 year old son. The session included everything from dribbling drills to shooting off the dribble to free throw shooting and several other basketball fundamentals. The variety and pace of the drills kept my son engaged and Joe's positive energy made my son want to come back for more training. We look forward to continuing to work with Coach Joe.

My son enjoyed learning the necessary skills compete on his level. I highly recommend coach Rawlings.

Great 1st session

Only had a chance to work with Coach Joseph once. He's not very responsive-very hard to get in contact with. Training sessions can't be effective if there is no consistency.

Coach Joseph really emphasized the fundamentals. After one session, my son gained more confidence in his game and he said his jump shot was better. I would recommend Coach Joseph and we will continue training with him.

Coach Joseph was great! My son enjoyed every minute and learned a lot in just the first session. We are looking forward to working with him again!!

Thanks Coach Joe! Zion really enjoyed his sessions with you. He said he learned a lot especially with his shooting and ball handling. We wish we lived in Atlanta so he could work with you more!

Coach Joseph is very thorough. He helps to build confidence in athletes. He increased the skill level of my daughter after each session. After the third session, she was making baskets on the adult level goals. This was her first time playing basketball. She is only seven. I am so impressed. Thank you, Coach Joseph!

Coach Joseph was great. My kids loved him and he was very knowledgeable and patient. We will be using him again.

Coach Joseph he was able to assess my son's skill level quickly. He then worked skill level specific drills for a great workout. Would highly recommend him and we will continue to work with him.

Second session with Coach Joseph: my son came out stating fantastic trainer. Was so hyped about going to his AAU Practice. Coach Joseph also talked with Daniel to help him understand how to deal with change in position by his coach. He had played a game on Sunday which his position had changed. He was put in a position where he was not allowed to handle the ball (not much shooting the ball to passing the ball) which frustrated him greatly. So, Coach Joseph is now teaching Daniel how to be flexible yet still confident to get the job done as a team. What a winner he is! Thanks a million Coach Joseph! Mary

Coach Joseph is great. He really knows how to communicate and motivate kids. My son loves working with him.

Coach Joseph was just what I was looking for. He is a great motivator. The one on one training helped me to pinpoint weaknesses. I look forward to continuing my training with coach Joseph and would recommend him to others.

Second Review: After about ten sessions, I am extremely satisfied with Joe's training. He's passionate. He's athletic. He's positive. He's serious. He cares and wants the best for the player. The drills he has the player perform is customized for the individual needs of a player and exactly what the player needs during a game situation. And he doesn't just focus on the physical, he is an encourager. My son feels more and more confident with his game. Although my son has a naturally quiet, cautious temperament, he's gradually becoming assertive and aggressive with his growing set of skills. I thank Joe for this evolution. So I highly recommend Joe as a trainer.

First Review: After just one session, I am very satisfied. Coach Joe is a true professional and an effective teacher-coach. My son showed amazing progress in just one session. We look forward to more sessions for my son.

Coach Joseph is an extremely great coach to work with! Learned so much in just one session. When I signed up for this site he was the highest rated and most recommended coach for miles. I see why. I will definitely be sticking with this coach.

Coach Joe is great. My son is feeling confident and having fun. The one-on-one coaching, drills and conditioning regimen is much better than anticipated. After one session we can already see improvement and great potential. We'll be ready for middle school basketball!

Joseph did a great job with my son. He had lots of good drills and made him work really hard. We will be using him for many more workouts!

Coach Joe knows what I needed to get better. I played better in my game right after working with him. I understand basketball better because of him.
