Matt G.

I have been a varsity basketball coach for the past 9 years. I have coached at Notre Dame High School in East Stroudsburg from 2009-2014 and East Stroudsburg North High School from 2014 - present. I started coaching at Notre Dame High School in 2009 as the Junior Varsity Coach and Assistant varsity coach. I held this position for 6 years. I help develop numerous players that's are playing Division 3 basketball in PA. My last year at Notre Dame we made it to the semifinals of the District 11 Class A semifinals and lost to eventual champions Mahoney Area. That was our first district tournament that we made in 4 years. All the players we had we're underclassman and I left the next year to coach at East Stroudsburg North High School and currently assume the role of boys assistant varsity coach. The follow year Notre Dame won the District 11 Class A championship. My time at East Stroudsburg North has been extremely successful. We are coming off our first ever District championship in School History when we beat Pottsville for the District 11 Class 5A championship. I have coached numerous players once again that are competing at Division 3 as well as 1 player from this years team who will play at the Division 2 level. I have been a part of a lot of success in my 9 years as a coach and have helped young athletes improve their skills in the offseason. I have also been a coach for the Hoop Group

I played High School basketball at Notre Dame High in East Stroudsburg and we won 2 District Class A championships in 2005 and 2006. I average 14 points per game and 8 rebounds per game my senior year. I was the Blue Ridge TV13 male athlete of the week for averaging 25 points per game for the week when we played 4 games in that week. After my High School playing career I had offers to play at the Division 3 level but instead I transitioned right into coaching and working local players out in the offseason.

I focus on both offensive and defensive skill development. The offensive and defensive drills that I work on are more advanced drills that are typically drilled in college. With offensive development we will start of with ball handling then go through shooting after that will be moves off the dribble. Defensively we will go through proper defensive position, help side defense and how to guard the ball. I will make sure that each session the athlete that I work out will have drills and workouts that they can do on their own time as well.
