More About Coach Patrick

As a student-athlete at Lamar High School, I was a key part of the Lamar basketball program. Success on the court at Lamar led me to the Big Ten Conference where I played basketball at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN. During my freshman season on the team, the Golden Gophers made it to the Final "Sweet 16" of the NCAA Tournament. Since college, I have been involved in basketball at multiple levels and for multiple years. From founding the Houston Blaze Basketball Organization to playing abroad and
coaching professional teams internationally. Over the last 15 years, I have conducted numerous skill clinics and have coached boys travel basketball teams.

In addition, I spent time conducting workouts with late-NBA Great Orlando Woolridge, who is regarded as one of the best resources for basketball training and development. I also worked with Top NBA and collegiate players from across the nation who travels to Houston during the off-season to participate in work-outs, training sessions and to prepare for the NBA Draft.

I enjoy working with players of all ages and levels, but I especially enjoy the challenge of coaching teenagers, because with them I can make the biggest difference in their game. My specialties include footwork, post moves, inside-pivot moves, playing off screens, the pick-and-roll, eliminating unnecessary movement, and developing mental toughness. I focus on teaching when and how to use a move based on the defender’s position and balance.

Very good with my son!

Coach Patrick was very well prepared and an obvious experienced trainer. He presented several areas for immediate improvement - Footwork in the post, free throw techniques, jumpshot techniques, and conditioning. This was a very productive session.

Great first session. My boys both enjoyed it and want to continue with future training.

Thanks coach!

Coach Patrick is the type of trainer that understands how to elevate your game. You get the full package from ball handling to creating space and drills that help you strengthen your skills. My son has trained elsewhere before but he appreciates the level of play he gets from Coach P.

Great session. Mobility and core work before touching the floor. On the floor, tons of shots and ball handling. Finished off with pick and roll play, which is essential for me being a guard. Explained the purpose of each drill. Overall great session.

Coach Patrick was very good at determining the need for my son's development and made our sessions a lot of fun. I highly recommend him!

Coach Patrick was great!! He had my daughter ploshing on her skills emeditly. We would strongly recommend using Patrick

Coach Patrick is a great coach! I saw improvement from session one! Also very easy to communicate.

Lesson went very well, exceeded expectations. My son had his second game and saw a big improvement on fundamentals. Would highly recommend Coach Patrick

What can we say!! Coach Patrick is a blessing!!! I booked him for 3 sessions and I was so impressed with his leadership, attitude and his ability to work with kids. Coach Patrick has taught my son so much more about the basis of this game and how to improve with each session. Although my son was tired after each practice he was eagerly waiting for the next one!! This to me was an awesome feeling to see my son's eagerness to up his game and someone who was willing to give his all . I can say we were not disappointed with Coach Patrick. Thank you

I took my 10 year old daughter to practice with Coach Patrick for the first time this week. I wasn't sure what to expect with her being so young. I figured that there would be only so much that he could teach her. I was surprised to see how disciplined and patient he was. He taught her various ball handling and shooting techniques while putting her in real game scenarios. I would highly recommend him to anyone trying to get themselves or their kids to the next level. Be prepared for tough but fun workout sessions. I definitely will be signing up for more sessions in the future

My son had his first session with Coach Patrick and I must say I was very impressed. The drills were great and workout quite intense and one my son will remember for a long time. My son is looking forward to upcoming sessions and Coach Patrick's guidance in helping him perfect his game. I'd strongly recommend Coach Patrick to anyone who is serious about their game.

Coach Patrick was professional and very demanding, I enjoyed every second of the workout. And I am looking forward to my next session.

Coach Patrick was a great find. My son enjoyed the tough workout and applied the advice Coach Patrick provided at his next game.

Looking forward to adding some more training sessions!

Coach Patrick knows how and what to teach my son and his friend what they need to be a better basketball player. He was very committed and serious about the session. The kids felt that he sincerely meant to make them better players and the connection seems to be there, which is hard to find unless you put your trust on someone that you believe can make you a better player. Great Work Coach.

Coach Patrick is a prime example of an elite trainer. He not only brought experience and various techniques to my son's session, he also included enthusiasm and fun. This is key when teaching kids & teenagers at any skill level. My son and I are looking forward to his next sessions and in the summer as well.

I was skeptical at first, but when I saw firsthand the breadth of talent training with Coach Patrick coupled with his ability to tune in to low skilled aspiring talent, all doubt has since left me. Coach Patrick is spirited, talented and has a plan for every skill level.

Literally the best trainer in Houston hands down
Excellent initial session!
