Kenny Durett All Star Selection Senior Year.
Collegiate Basketball Player at Penn State Greater Allegheny from 2012 - 2015. Rank top 5 In blocks, rebounds, Fg%. Hold record for most FG’s in a game (16).
I really focus on the details (footwork, body movement, how to sell moves, etc). I also teach “why” and “when” to do things, not just how. I believe it is essential to teach kids game recognition and IQ as opposed to just the skill.
During my first session with a new client, I do an all-around workout to get an idea of the players strengths/weaknesses. Then, I will make a player development plan from there on out that will help players reach their respective goals.
I believe each player is different and I take pride in designing the best development program to help them each meet their goals.

Client Reviews
Gabe Mudd - Former Player on Coach Nick's AAU Team from 2016-2019 (Testimonial)
I trained with Nick Dizon for approximately 5 years when I was 11-15 years old. He was a fantastic trainer and mentor in all regards. His knowledge of basketball is layered and diverse, and he is extremely talented at tailoring his knowledge to the experience level of everyone he works with. On top of that, he is a fantastic person that served as a great role model for me. He pushed me to be a better version of myself by being tough at the right times, but always being an effective communicator who could see the bigger picture and form lasting relationships with everyone he worked with.
Ellie Junker - Penn State Behrend Commit (Has trained with coach Nick for 3 years) (Testimonial)
Training with Nick Dizon has completely elevated my game. He has a special way of breaking down every drill so you understand exactly why you're doing it and how it applies in real game situations. If you're serious about getting better, there's no one better to train with than Nick Dizon
Tess Duer - Has trained with Coach Nick since 2023 (Testimonial)
Coach Nick has been training me for about 2 years now. His training has helped me exponentially. I was in a boot for a period of time my sophomore year, and Nick pushed me to keep training, and he fixed my shot for the season ahead. His training has not only led to my shot being more consistent, but he's taught me new moves and skills offensively that I now use in my game. Coach Nick teaches the power of hard work and dedication and is a big component to my basketball career.
Lexi Colaianni - Played for Coach Nick from 2019 - 2022 (Testimonial)
Coach Nick has played a huge role in shaping me not only as a basketball player but a person. He pushed me to grow mentally, physically, and in my overall understanding of the game, lessons I still use now as a college athlete and in my own training. I've never had a coach who cared more deeply about his players success than Coach Nick. Everything he said carried value and purpose, and the wisdom he shared will stick with me for a lifetime.
Claudia Ierullo - Slippery Rock University C/O 2029 G (Testimonial)
Training with Coach Dizon helped my game grow so much, especially in a short amount of time. He does a very good job at explaining the reasoning behind doing the drills and making sure I understood how it would translate in game. He not only helped with my skills, but also making sure I always had a good headspace. I'm extremely grateful for the time and energy he put into training me!
