More About Coach Robert
I am the Owner/GM/Head Coach of a professional minor league basketball team in the ABA called the New Jersey Knights. I am also an assistant coach for the men’s team at Ramapo College. In addition to training, I have a New Jersey Knights youth club program for players that I train so they can get game experience as well. I work with players of all ages and skill levels ranging from kids to adults. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
I played collegiately for William Paterson University and then professionally in the ABA for three seasons. I am a member of the 2010 NJAC Champions at William Paterson. My 13u girls team just won a national tournament in Myrtle Beach. I coach pro athletes and first timers. I’ve had the opportunity to learn from some great coaches and I’m eager to pass along some of that knowledge to you!
Everyone is different - Every player starts at a different level and learns at a different pace in a different way. Go ahead and book a session and we can figure it out together!!

Coach Rob put me through great drills. Got a great work out in and got better today. Looking forward to continuing improving with coach Rob. Highly recommend. Coach knows his stuff and tailors the training to your level and your game.
Timothy (CoachUp client)
Coach Robert is a great coach. He is very knowledgeable and was great with my son who is a beginner. After the session he felt much more confident in his skills. Rob is also Extremely flexible. It took a very long time for me to line up my schedule and he was continually available and had great communication.
Jason (CoachUp client)
My son had a great time, told me he learned more in an hour then he in two years playing.
Melissa (CoachUp client)
My son really liked Coach Rob. He felt an improvement after just one lesson and he wants to continue training with him. Glad we found a coach he could connect with and look forward to.
John (CoachUp client)
I'm an adult basketball fan but never really learned how to play. Coach Rob is perfect for someone like me because he allows me to start from the very beginning where a big part of it is unlearning bad habits. To me, something he excels it is that he demands the details to be done right. For example, if my follow-through shooting motion isn't correct, he consistently points that out which is important when you're trying to build a foundation. He does all this with a sense of humor and ease, a willingness to help, and without judgement about where you're currently at skill-wise.

Coach Rob is " the Real Deal" just had 1 session and we can see improvement in my sons shot. Son is in middle school and has played varied seasons AAU since 5/6th grade shot was OK but not consistend/strong. Coach Rob is a "shot doctor" took short time to review and assess.. and he made 2 adjustments, which looked like minor things-- but OH MAN they produced major positive results.. by the end of that 1 session very noticeable improvement in shot accuracy. My son so eager to continue to see how he can reach next level. No doubt Coach Rob has the knowledge, experiece to get him there-- also let me share Coach Rob-- definitely has skillz himself -- YES HE KNOCKs SHOTS DOWN w EZ.. so parents you can feel confident in Coach Rob's ability to talk/train your child but know that he can certainly walk it as well.. Cant say enough good things.. THANK SO MUCH COACH ROB--

My son absolutely loves Robert’s coaching style.
Christine (CoachUp client)
Excellent trainer.
Robert was great with my 12 year old daughter.
She is in her second year and I realized she could use one on one training to help her improve.
We had our first session this morning and a game later in the day and what a difference I saw already. She played much better. And everyone noticed her progression. All teammates, coaches and parents acknowledged her improvements.
We already signed up for our next session.100% worth it.

Excellent coach who can different instruction tailored to the student’s ability, skills, and level of communication. He makes a connection with the client and meets the needs of the client at whatever level. He knows what to say to push the student forward.

Brian (CoachUp client)
Coach Rob has been absolutely fantastic! I have 2 sons at the high school level that wanted to start getting ready for the upcoming season. They wanted to be more consistent with their jumper and wanted to take their scoring to the next level. Coach Rob worked with both of them together and also both 1 on 1. In that short amount of time their jump shot is 🔥. He is very accommodating and a true professional. I highly recommend!

Coach Robert was quick to respond to our initial inquiry and just as enthusiastic as my son was to get sessions started—I didn’t feel like I was nagging him to get a session date/time after booking a session with him; he’s very responsive and accessible. My son learned a lot in the very first session and is excited to continue working on shaping/improving his basketball skills with Coach Rob.

Christine (CoachUp client)
Great feedback for my son in just one session, which other coaches have never pointed out to him. My son felt it was a productive first session and is looking forward to more. Quick to set up the session and great communication.
Jordan R. (Testimonial)
Coach Rob improved my jump shot after only 1 session. I was a very inconsistent in my release point and he helped me find my shot pocket. Now I’m a bucket!
