Client Reviews

Coach Justin is very patient with our daughter and has a lot of engaging drills for at each session. He also gives her things to work on between sessions. Coach Justin is very communicative with the parents. Glad we found such a reliable and experienced coach for our daughter!

Good experience

Coach Justin is nice coach. He understands my son situation. My son is very like coach.

Our first session with Coach Justin was great! We asked him to challenge our 7-year old son, but warned him that he was prone to shutting down when facing adversity. Coach Justin was patient and encouraging, which helped him to breakthrough and learn a few new techniques that we hope will improve his game.

Justin is a good coach

I highly recommend Coach Justin if you’re looking for a great coach to work on improving your child’s basketball skills! Very attentive and will tailor the sessions depending on what your kiddo wants to work on.

Justin is a great coach -- knowledgeable, supportive, and willing to tailor my daughter's session to her specific needs/sport. He took the time to listen and learn about her and her speed/agility/fitness goals. My daughter found his session to be fun, but challenging. That's a great combination -- anyone can make a session fun, and anyone can make a session challenging. But Justin was able to find the sweet spot between the two. We'll be booking more sessions with Coach Justin for sure. I highly recommend him.

Very good!

Highly recommend! Great coach

Coach Justin did a great job and gave excellent feedback during my son's workout. He was able to demonstrate the small subtleties that make a difference. We are coming back for more. Thank you Coach!

Always change time. Let’s student always get rebound. When student needs help he looks on his phone.

Coach Justin is a great coach, who understands the game. Coach Justin is committed in the enhancement of our 8 year old sons basketball development. Thanks coach Justin....

Justin is awesome! He was extremely knowledgeable and his demeanor is perfect for this type of training. He was able to use drills to pinpoint my weaknesses and build on top of that. He also helped me see the bigger picture in terms of where I need to be on the court and worked on strategies to get myself open. More than anything, I think Justin is a genuine and wholesome person whom you wish nothing but good things for. He listens and caters to you, and you can’t ask for anything more from a trainer. Definitely looking forward to working with him again!

Justin is a nice coach. My son's basketball skill is getting better since first session.
He teaches my son to learn from basic skills which is very important for my son in the current stage.

So glad to have found Justin!
I had not used this site before, so took a chance on selecting a Coach to help my son improve.
Out of the Coaches I contacted, I went with Justin
Justin has a great personality that my son can really click with while still getting in a great workout .
My son was wanting to work out one on one with someone to help improve on his skills for high school and he is finding Justin very helpful.

Really solid foot step teaching

Coach Justin was a great coach.
He helped me focus on moves, fundamentals, defense, gave me drills and taught me the gave. He's approachable, friendly, sharp, has got the experience (he plays professionally after all), and knows what to target to help you improve.
He's also cool - another plus.

I really like Justin and so did my son. He is patient and really seems to enjoy working with kids. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Justin is experienced, skilled and professional. He has greatly improved our son’s footwork, balance and most importantly, confidence.

We would highly recommend Justin’s training for any skill level player.

Ansh was s quite happy with the drills and improving his skills.

Thank you Coach Justin!

Coach Justin strikes the right balance between drills and skills. He is serious about his sport and works hard to develop my son's confidence. Progress came very quickly. Justin is also kind and gets along very well with my son. I would recommend Coach Justin to any parent that is seeking to develop their child's basketball game.

We really had a great time during our first session. Justin is so responsible, and he explains everything in details. Love his patience, and I will recommend everyone to train with him.

Coach Justin's knowledge and approach to training my son is wonderful! Although my son gets put to work and gets quite the workout, he really loves working with Coach Justin. I look forward to my son taking what Justin is teaching him and putting it to use in a game!

Coach Justin was great!! He was quick to respond once contacting him! During our first session he was on time and prepared! He worked really well explaining, demonstrating, and teaching my 6 year old son! We are looking forward to our next session!!

Coach Justin was an excellent coach for my son. He worked with him on everything from footwork, ball handling to his mental game. We feel very blessed to have found him.

He’s great and we love working out with Justin! Strong communicator and great fundamentals to teach my son.

Coach Justin did an excellent job. From the day I booked a session, he contacted me immediately, and asked me questions about my son's game. He wanted to know his strengths and weakness, our goals for training, and my son's position. He even made the extraordinary effort to stop by one of my son's AAU games, since he was in the area. I have never had a trainer do any of these things. On top of all this Justin is "good people" and interacts in a calm and respectful manner with my son. Highly recommended!!

Justin is a hard worker on the court always perfecting his craft and implenting new ways to become better as player. He will instill those same habits to all clients available and ready to improve their skills
