More About Coach Lawrence
I have coached for over 12 years starting where I attended college at Bradley University in Illinois. During my off season I have been training young children up to adults. I have trained clients from beginning to advanced levels. My main coaching job I have had is during the summer months of june through august where I am the head basketball instructor at Camp Lohikan located in Lake Como, Pennsylvania. I have been doing that the past 7 years.

I played division 1 basketball at Bradley University where during my senior year we made it to the sweet sixteen in the NCAA college basketball tournament. I later competed in the college slam dunk basketball contest. I signed with the Harlem Globetrotters and played with them for a year. After the Harlem Globetrotters I have played in Europe, Canada, the Middle East, and Africa for the past 10 years.
The training session would start out with stretching and a warm up before beginning. I like to focus on improving athletic ability and coordination the first 15-20minutes. This will not be every session but some sessions this will be included. We will then move on to basketball specific drills for the rest of the session. Warm up may include speed, quickness, agility and plyometric training. The warm up will always be different depending on what the client needs to improve. This would be followed by offensive and defensive drills. There are many different variations of drills that would be incorporated based on the clients needs. each session would be about an hour to get through all the necessary drills.

John (CoachUp client)
Great 1 on 1 coaching with my son (middle school age) for basketball skills! My son has been playing basketball for years, but had trouble making that jump to the next skill level. Coach Lawrence is very knowledgeable, patient, and effective. I saw immediate improvements and also had some helpful drills to keep working on at home. I would highly recommend Coach Lawrence!

Great coach and instructor. Lawrence tailors our training sessions to zone in on lagging skills. We have seen improvement after every session. I highly recommend Lawrence if your child is looking to play at the next level.

Coach Lawrence helped get Jaden's fire back for basketball. We spent 2 hrs in the gym the day after her lesson working on her shot and ball handling. She is excited for her next lesson.
Justin (CoachUp client)
Coach Lawrence is awesome. His workouts were challenging and really helped me start getting my surgically repaired knee back in shape. He even typed up full workout plans for me and sent them to me via email. He drove about 30 minutes to meet me for my convenience once every week. He was very knowledgeable and encouraging as well. I would definitely recommend this guy!
