More About Coach Richard
I'm a Certified I'm Possible Skills Trainer and I've helped athletes of all ages for over 10 years.
Here are 3 reasons why you'd benefit from my training.
1) I use a curriculum of over 700 skills and drills to help you become the complete player.
2) I know the critical details of each skill so I'm able to pinpoint why your skills will or won't work in games.
3) I'm happy when you make mistakes because it means you are pushing beyond your current skillset.
I have played basketball for over 20 years. I played at the college level (Bangor University, UK) and represented my home country of Wales.
It's nice to have a coach who can demonstrate skills to a high level (which I can) but it's more important that YOU can do them at a high level. (Your trainer isn't going to sub in for you during games.)
Every one of my sessions is planned to the finest detail so you can lock in and focus on the task at hand!
I don't teach "reads". Most players already know when there is an opportunity to shoot, pass, or drive. I teach players the skills that enable them to MAKE those reads.
I routinely provide video feedback to players and use shaping to get my athletes to fluency in hundreds of skills.

Excellent coach. Very knowledgeable and was great at explaining.
Aaron (CoachUp client)
Coach Rich is excellent! He is easy and responsive to coordinate trainings with and he always shows up on time with great drills for skill development. He has a teaching style that is very positive but at the same time he is very good at getting the most out of our son. I would highly recommend coach Rich for anyone who is looking for a top tier basketball trainer!
Fredo (CoachUp client)
Great coaching experience. He helped me fix my form and become a better dribbler. Would highly recommend.

Coach Richard has been patient, enthusiastic and kind teaching my eleven year old son who is new to basketball but really wants to go out for the team next year. He loved his first session with Coach Rich so much he wouldn't stop talking about it and practicing. We have already booked more sessions. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, talented and patient coach for your kid, he is it!

I was a little nervous coming into training because I haven’t played basketball in ages but Richard made me feel comfortable Immediately. We worked on Dribbling and Shooting fundamentals and I thoroughly enjoyed the session and felt like I improved. Will def book again!
Satish (CoachUp client)
Loved the way Coach Rich worked with my son with special needs. He was able to figure out the pace at which my son learns instantly and was really quick in understanding best ways to communicate with my son. Never expected my son to do so many things in the first session.

Russell (CoachUp client)
Coach Richard is one of those coaches I know I can learn a lot from and he doesn’t have a problem showing you. Anything he teaches he can also do himself. He’s just a bucket, now I’m a bucket.
Fermen (CoachUp client)
Coach Richard is probably one of the most talented players and intuitive basketball training coaches I have come across. It's supernatural how positive he is with my 15 yr old. We have been training for about 3 months and I see huge improvements on and off the court in my son. He is more discipline, contributing to his daily home chores and obligations and maintains a great attitude. I own a large personal training business in Silicon Valley called GYMGUYZ, so I understand the quality of training and how it should bring progressive results. Richard documents so much, he is detailed in his work and has a specific program for my son. You can tell by his skill demonstrations, he practices what he preaches. That means a lot, when you can see the coach/trainer demonstrate physically. This was a great decision and coach Richard gets an A++.
Irena (CoachUp client)

Coach Richard came my home to meet my son and work on several skills. He is very knowledgeable, patient and easy to work with. We are excited to have Richard over again!
Fabrizio (CoachUp client)
Great coach and personality. Richard is driven and really puts effort in his thought-through training sessions. He does not just show up to the session but he has everything planned to develop your skills and his motivation pushes me to do better at every training. An absolute ace at ball handling and footwork.
Not the average coach.
Jeff (CoachUp client)

Megan (CoachUp client)
Coach Richard is helping my 10 year old son on his ball handling skills, shot selection, how to change speeds to blow by defenders, creating shot opportunities while being defended, and improving his overall game. He is super positive, energetic and an obvious expert at the game of basketball. He relates so well to my son's mental game as well. We look forward to seeing his improvements as we continue on with Richard. My son is so excited to commit to continued growth in the game he loves.
