I have lended my ear to trainers, coaches, and mentors who have emphasized finding ways to gain the trust of coaches. As it's important to have one distinct thing a player does well, it's important in this era to have skill sets in their "back pocket" so to speak, on standby to be unleashed when necessary.

I aim to help clients get comfortable with certain maneuvers which allow them to become harder to guard; ball handling with both hands, finishing with contact and at times avoiding contact (body control) with both hands. Clients should expect an energetic workout focused on multiple skill sets which will make them all-purpose players. For example, guards may be put in situations where they grasp the concepts and fundamentals of rebounding and footwork in the post. Bigs may be put in situations where they must learn the angles to take when closing out on guards, sliding their feet as well as efficient ball handling and form refinement to extend their range to the perimeter.

Julien is a great coach

I took my 10yr old son for his first session with Coach Julian today and was extremely impressed. He was very welcoming, professional and had a great manner with the kids and parents. The gym itself is very high tech and state of the art. It includes a range of training equipment that an NBA player would use, interactive video drills that make working out more fun for the kids and cameras that can focus in on areas of play that need to be improved upon. Coach Julian is very passionate about basketball and he teaches in a way that motivates and increases a child’s self confidence. My son is looking forward to his next visit. Thanks Coach Julian!

Coach Julian is a GREAT coach!! I was very impressed with his patience with training. I can see that he has a love for the sport and he truly enjoys spreading his knowledge to his athletes so that they can get better. His training and techniques that he used during the training sessions with my boys were absolutely GREAT!! He is not the cookie cutter trainer and he actually shows you things to use in actual games. I would absolutely recommend Julian and my boys will continue training with him!

Coach Julian was a great coach! He provided me the tools I would need to continue to keep my son on tract.

Coach Julian, thank you for helping our son (age 7)today. He was totally engaged and entertained. He said he can't wait to go back and train with you some more. If you're on the fence about booking with him, I'm here to tell you that you will not be disappointed. He is extremely patient and kind with his style of coaching. He also encourages the kids during practice and keeps their focus. We have nothing but great things to say about him! Thanks a million!!

Great session with coach Wright. He is very knowledgeable and engaged. He was not a spectator giving instructions from the sideline and was actively demonstrating and participating in all drills. I would definitely recommend him.

Great Analysis

Professional and caring

Julian is a very great coach!
During the session Julian was able to observe and respect my son`s pace, in order to be followed by him.
In a very interesting way, Julian was observing all improvement opportunities my son has and he was teaching/correcting him in a very motivational environment. Thanks Julian for your time dedicated to John Francisco!
