More About Coach Riley

I have been coaching basketball since 2017 with KingLife Academy, under former PCA (Positive Coaching Alliance) coach of the year winner Frankie Jones. In 2018 my team competed and won the Spring Kickoff tournament at Power2Play sports complex. We have also competed at a high level at national AAU tournaments which include tournaments in Utah, Las Vegas, and Orlando. I have coached kids as old as 5th grade all the way up to the high school varsity level.

I have been playing competitive basketball since a very young age for multiple teams in Iowa. I also played high school basketball in Iowa and Colorado. I have competed against college and professional basketball players during my playing time. In 2019 I had been training to play basketball at a professional level. During my playing career, I have played both wing and big. I am most known for my shooting ability.

Expect to work hard but have fun while doing so. We want to work on building weaknesses into strengths, and elevating strengths that we already have. Also helping them build good habits on the court. All while maintaining a positive attitude. Most sessions we will work on a specific part of the clients game. It could be shooting or ball handling, etc. as we work on the details and fundamentals within what we are working on. Then we finish with some competition drills.

I really enjoyed how Coach Riley approached my son’s first training session. He was thoughtful, encouraging, with a balance of expectation on practicing to improve his skills to become a well rounded player. I can’t wait until the next sessions!

My ten year old son James has had 4 sessions with Coach Riley (and we are continuing to train with him) and James has improved in every phase of his game! Coach Riley conducts each session with a definite purpose and each drill builds on the skill that they are working on each day. At the end of each session you can already see improvement and are given a plan to continue to work and get better. Also, Coach Riley has had the perfect balance of encouragement/positivity and determination to make sure James develops the right techniques and habits. He was not afraid to make James work hard until the goal for that drill was met. Could not recommend Coach Riley enough!

Coach Riley was very professional and knowledgable about the game of basketball. He was great in his approach to how he instructed my son. My son learned more from coach Riley in the 1 hour session than he had learned in the years prior. Coach Riley was able to tune in with my son to help him learn some new technics in a rapid period of time. I would highly recommend coach Riley.

Coach Riley was full of helpful, concrete suggestions for improving my son's game. He focused on form, strategy and technique, offense and defense, and made it all really fun. I was impressed with how much he was able to pack into one session! Coach Riley was patient and positive. My son left really fired up and enthusiastic about basketball and it was a great workout for him too.

Coach Riley is a super knowledgeable and talented basketball coach and he makes it fun!

Coach Riley is extremely knowledgeable. He relays instruction in such a productive way when coaching. He is committed to the athlete's whole self, mentally and physically. He is tentative and about making the athlete's better. Great coach.

Coach Riley is a great coach- my son has improved tremendously with his skills but also walks away from his sessions with Coach Riley feeling great about the work they are doing to improve in basketball while also having fun and building confidence.

My son loves working with him and we will continue to do so. He’s very kind and positive.

My son had his first session last night and absolutely loved working with Coach Riley. During his session my son ran over and requested I schedule more sessions with him asap :) I noticed right away my son started to play much more confident and really listened to the expertise Coach Riley had to share. As a parent, I appreciated the feedback, and positivity the Coach implements into the session. Looking forward to seeing my son's growth as he continues to work with Riley!

Coach Riley was awesome! He is a very good teacher/coach! After only one session my son is already showing huge improvement and trying new moves that Riley gave him. We look forward to continuing with his coaching program and seeing the improvements our son can make!!

Great first practice! Coach Riley is very positive and honest.
Highly recommend!
