More About Coach Joshua
Hi, I’m Coach Josh a passionate basketball trainer with over 6 years of experience helping athletes take their game to the next level. I’ve worked with players of all skill levels, from beginners learning the fundamentals to varsity-level athletes preparing for college recruitment.
My background includes coaching high school basketball, where I developed a deep understanding of both team strategy and individual player development. I specialize in building complete players — focusing on skill work, basketball IQ, conditioning, and confidence on and off the court. Whether you're trying to make the team, earn more playing time, or just improve your game, I tailor each session to meet your goals.I believe in high-energy workouts, smart feedback, and pushing athletes to exceed their own expectations. Let’s work together to unlock your full potential and bring out your best game!
In my high school days I played 4 years on the boys varsity team leading to playoff appearances in all my years in high school as well as winning a league championship my senior year. Being on the team I was a captain as well as receiving league honorable mentions and 2nd team all league.
My basketball training starts with a dynamic stretch warm up to help prepare for the training which is followed up by ball handling drills both moving around the court and stationary. I always like to work inside to outside during training sessions. next will follow training working inside finishes, paint touches, lay ups, floaters and other shots close to the basketball. One of the main focuses in this part in the training is footwork and attacking angles. We would then work on conditioning such as slides, sprint drills before shooting to help build endurance. The shooting training consist of form shooting, spot shooting then working in game like actions.

Uma (CoachUp client)
Joshua did an excellent job teaching the fundamentals of basketball to my kids, who are aged 10 and 7. He tailored his approach to suit their ages and skill levels, making the lessons both engaging and fun. His patience and enthusiasm were evident as he introduced them to essential skills like dribbling, shooting, and passing. The kids not only learned the basics but also developed a newfound love for the game. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that helped boost their confidence and teamwork skills.
Justin (Testimonial)
Training with Coach Josh helped me elevate my game during the off-season. He’s hands-on, knows what he’s talking about, and gave me drills that translated directly to the court. I felt more confident going into tryouts and made varsity this year!

Coach Josh has been a game-changer for my son. His confidence, footwork, and basketball IQ have all improved since training. Josh knows how to push players while keeping it fun and motivating. Highly recommend him to any parent looking for serious player development.
