More About Coach Jovonn
I have played basketball at every level ( high school, junior college, division 1, professional in the ABA). I've been blessed to be coached by championship winning coaches at each level (Jack Bush, Mike Jeffers, Rollie Massimino).
My passion is basketball development. I believe that every player can be as good as the work they put in, along with dedicated guidence. I believe that fundemental details seperatess good from great.
At the end of session you will be better than you were before the session. I focus on consistant shooting, aggresive drives, learning how to effectively set a pick and coming off pick. I develop players at every position. I will make sure you get right and stay right.

Coach Jovonn was awesome! My son connected with him instantly and he had a great first session. Before the first session was over my son was already talking about coming back for more! My son truly loves the game and my goal is for him to be the best he can be and continue to focus on learning and improving. Working with Coach Jovonn I'm sure we can achieve this!
Aapri (CoachUp client)
Coach has mentally and physically challenged my son to work hard during practice and on his own. My son really looks forward to the workouts and I look forward to my son improving his game.
Thanks Coach!
Patrick (CoachUp client)
Great first session for my son. He was firm but positive with feedback...which is what my son needs. Gave him solid things to work on before next session. Highly recommend.

My son is shy and was a little nervous about his first meeting with Coach Jovonn. Upon meeting him, I had a feeling that my son would enjoy his time with the coach. After the session, I could tell by my son's facial expression that he had a good time. He was very excited about his lesson and can't wait for the next one.
Kawaskee (CoachUp client)
Coach Jovonn has incredible knowledge and patience to help improve any aspect of your game! I highly recommend him and I'm sticking with him!
Temiko (CoachUp client)
Our son love to play video games and has never played a team sport. We had our first session a few days ago and our son is still talking about shooting his first 3 pointer. We're hoping he will love to learn the game of basketball. Coach Jefferson interaction with our son was great and at the end of the session he left our son with words of encouragement.
Vernell (CoachUp client)
Thanks Coach! I can really see the improvement already. Lil V says he is ready to keep learning the game.
Abdul (CoachUp client)
