More About Coach Kris

I have one year of coaching experience, working with 2 teams in one year. One team, Pacific Lutheran High School, I was a varsity high school assistant. The other, I was a head for an elementary team. I also have some experience of assisting with youth clinics for 2 years at CSU-PUEBLO.The age range for all these groups were ages 6-18. I have trained a student for a year. He was in middle school at the time.

I played 3 years of varsity high school basketball while excelling in track and football at Junipero Serra High School in Gardena, Ca. I've helped my basketball teams to 2 league championships in 2005 and 2006 and winning a CIF Southern Section Championship in 2006. I went on to play at El Camino College for 2 years (2007-2009), where I was a top 100 prospect in the state of California. I was able to receive 1st Team All Conference my freshman year in 2008. I was fortunate enough to earn an athletic scholarship to Colorado State University of Pueblo and played for 2 years (2009-2011). During my senior year in 2011, I played well enough to earn 2nd team All Conference, while leading my team in scoring and block shots. Since graduation, I have been competing in the well-known pro-am called the Drew League in Los Angeles, Ca since 2011.

I tailor my sessions to improve on whatever skill the client want to improve. My sessions definitely includes conditioning and running. I believe that the better shape the prospect is in, the better performance he/she will have. Another skill that I incorporate that translates to all positions is footwork. I also try to include drills where the prospect is playing through some contact to simulate gametime play.

Awesome coach! He’s helped my son tremendously for high school basketball.

Coach Kris coached my 2 kids (ages 7 and 8). He was grounded, positive, and patient. It was a great session!

Coach Kris did a great job coaching our 12 year old grandson. The level of training was appropriate for his skill set, while challenging him with new techniques including how to shoot off the dribble, how to shoot off screens and post moves around the basket. Our Grandson learned a lot from Kris and he continues to practice the techniques imparted by Kris.

My son learned a lot of footwork and improved his shooting skills. He loved the sessions. a pity we are going back to Germany

Coach Kris is a great coach! If your looking for a coach that truly knows the game and is great with kids, he is the coach for you! Coach Kris was patient and really worked with Kingston, he taught him the basics about basketball as well as passing, shooting, dribbling and conditioning. I would recommend Coach Kris to everybody. My husband and I was truly impressed as well as Kingston. We look forward to working with Coach Kris again.

Coach Kris was great he was patient with my son he is dedicated and showed a great knowledge for training best of all my son left the session with confidence!

It was awesome experience . We are from China. My son Oscar loves basketball and we were just stayed in LA for a few days. But for the three training sessions, Oscar improved his jump shots and other skills also. Thank you very much Kris.

Coach Kris was great with my 10 year old son. He worked on dribbling, shooting and defense. We plan to book another session soon.

I signed my son up for a Friday class with Kris when we were in town for my son’s birthday weekend. It was difficult to find other coaches on Friday even though the app indicated that they were available ... Kris was on time and took my son through some challenging drills and I could see his focus and skill improve in one session. Thanks Kris and we’ll look you up when we are in the area again!

Amazing coach

Kris was amazing. My son usually does not like coaches but he said "Kris is the best coach anyone could have". Kris taught him the basics but encouraged him with praise and made my son feel confident even when he was unsure of himself.

Coach Kris is a great coach. He has developed my skills and technical play. I feel like a different and better player. He exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Coach Kris he has changed my game to a higher level.

Kris was keen on tailoring our session to address the issues I wanted to focus on. Then he diagnosed my slew of other issues and addressed those as well. The session was a perfect combination of general fitness training and basketball drills. He's incredibly knowledgable, patient, kind and encouraging. Highly recommend.

Coach Kris was a great coach. I could see the increased confidence with my six year old. My son went to basketball practice with his team after a session with Coach Kris and made both his free-throw shots. Coach Kris is absolutely great with kids!

I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT MY SON HAVE HAD 11 SESSIONS NOW WITH COACH KRISS! AND HE IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AND FORM AND SKILL. COACH KRISS HAS BEEN FLEXIBLE AND PROFESSIONAL. MY SON LOVES THE BONDING TIME AND THE EXERCISE. HE SAYS HE WISH HE WERE TRAINING WITH HIM SINCE HE WAS A LOT YOUNGER THEN HE WOULD BE SO BEAST NOW! KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB WITH THE YOUTH KRISS!

I was very impressed by Kris’ style, very encouraging, motivating and discipline; even after our first session I started seeing improvements in my shooting and dribbling. I would highly recommend Kris, whether you’re training for the pros, or like me, just to get into better shape and improve my skills for the pick-up court!
