All athletes are given a SWOTT Analysis to complete prior to training with me. Nothing is done for the masses, everything is done for the individual. If it is an evaluation session then we go through testing for the major areas of athletic performance:
- Flexibility
- Metabolic Energy System
- Core
- Balance
- Plyometrics
- Speed, Agility and Quickness
- Anaerobic
- Olympic Lifts

If there are specific deficiencies that my client would like to focus on, this will be focused on when we go over our SWOTT Analysis together. We will build a daily, weekly, monthly and annual training schedule together for full time clients.

Client Reviews

Coach Justin did a great job with my son by focusing on the areas he needs improvement in and not just giving him a bunch of unnecessary drills that has nothing to do with what we requested. He was knowledgeable and listened to what we wanted to accomplish. He offered feedback and tips. He was professional and patient. We would definitely recommend him.

Coach Justin was great with our son! He was encouraging, knowledgeable and fun! Looking forward to our next session to build on the skills learned tonight! Thanks

Excellent first meeting.

Our first session with Justin was great! He’s creating a program specifically for my daughter which addresses her sport as well as basic mechanics. Very excited to see the progress

I have no complaints whatsoever, assessment session was nice, I felt comfortable and in place, which is one of the most important things you can feel with a coach. It fun and it stayed interesting

Justin is a true professional! If you want to improve any facet of your game, look no further. Justin will tailor his technical programming to any of your weaknesses and turn them into strengths! 100% worth the hire!

Good session overall. I would recommend.

(no details provided)

Coach Justin was very thorough during my son initial training session. Coach Justin demonstrated a thorough understanding of basketball including the intangibles. He provided a detailed assessment of where my son is currently. And Coach Justin provided a realistic view of his goal to help my son improve. We are looking forward to the next training session to see our the journey progresses.

I would like to say that I enjoyed the coaching session with Justin tremendously. I actually performed the warm up part of the session and found myself sore for the next couple of days. My son who is 12 years old expressed to me after the training session that at first he was not sure how much fun it would be, but he said he could not wait for the next session. I chose Justin because of his biography and that Justin would make my son the best athlete and basketball player. We can not wait until Justin gets well enough to have another session.

Very detailed and great coach!!! Really passionate about his craft. 100% recommended if your serious about getting better!!!

Coach Justin did a great job analyzing my strengths and weaknesses and he customizes workouts based on them as well as short and long term goals. His sessions are efficient and intense, and I was able to see progress just from the first one.

Mr. Brandt is a great trainer he is very knowledgeable about the game & he knows what it takes to thrive at the next level. He takes pride in what he does and does it in a professional manner.

Coach Justin is excellent! We look forward to working with him.

Coach JB was GREAT to work with! He customized a training session to meet my daughter's needs and set her on a course that she can manage, complete with goals to achieve by her next session. He was very attentive, created a positive environment for her and really listened to her.

Forget traditional, one size fits all programs, Coach JB makes sure your strength and conditioning program helps you get to where you want and NEED to be. I have added on 10 pounds of muscle and my efficiency is out of the roof. Definitely excited for this coming football season.
