More About Coach Coach
I have experience training both males and females ranging from beginner to professional. I have coached at the high school level for over 15 years and work well with motivated and eager athletes from all backgrounds and skill levels.
I've played basketball my entire life including four years of varsity high school basketball and AAU in the state of Massachusetts. Played collegiately at Saint Anselm’s College, in New Hampshire and the University of Massachusetts at Boston.
Athletes will be challenged throughout each session. Sessions will focus on the four major areas of offensive skill development, as well as various skills that translate to strong defensive play. Improvements in passing, dribbling, finishing and shooting will be observed and felt through consistent training and practice.

Coach Joe is my first and best trainer that has ever trained in the orange county area. He pushes you to try your best, no matter what drill it is. He’s good at fixing your jumpshot and breaking down your form. In my opinion he motivated me, gave me more inspiration for the sport, giving me goals.

Michael (CoachUp client)
My 10 yr old son has been training with Coach Joe and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Coach Joe is always punctual and keeps a consistent schedule, which really helps with planning around our busy lives. His knowledge of the game is top-notch, and he does a fantastic job of breaking down skills in a way that’s easy to understand, even for younger players.
What sets Coach Joe apart is his patience—he takes the time to work with each player at their own pace, ensuring they truly grasp each concept before moving on. I have no doubt that my son will grow not just in skill but also in confidence on the court, thanks to Coach Joe. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable basketball trainer!
Orlander (CoachUp client)
Coach Joe has been an exceptional basketball coach for my two sons. His dedication to their development, both on and off the court, is evident in every practice. Coach Joe’s deep understanding of the game, combined with his ability to connect with young athletes, has significantly improved their skills and confidence. He creates a positive and motivating environment that challenges them to reach their full potential. My sons have not only grown as players under his guidance but have also developed a greater love and respect for the sport. We are truly grateful for Coach Joe’s impact on their basketball journey.

Evan Howell (Testimonial)
Coach Joe is a great teacher. It's clear that he's spent a lot of time both playing and coaching basketball. After my first session, I had takeaways that I was able to immediately apply in games. Also, he's a nice guy who's easy to work with. Highly recommended!
MyiShanka McMillan (Testimonial)
Coach Joe has been an incredible influence on my 13-year-old daughter, both on and off the court. His passion for basketball is evident in every session, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about the growth and success of his players. My daughter has not only improved her skills—such as shooting, dribbling, and game strategy—but her confidence and love for the game have soared under Coach Joe's guidance. He has a remarkable ability to connect with young athletes, pushing them to reach their full potential while making the process enjoyable and rewarding. Coach Joe is more than just a trainer; he’s a mentor who instills discipline, teamwork, and a strong work ethic. We’re so grateful to have found such a dedicated and inspiring coach for our daughter, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their game! 🏀👏
Joshua Allen (Testimonial)
It was a great overall experience, and I look forward to working with him again in the future! Highly recommend!
Shelton St. Louis (Testimonial)
You definitely get a workout. Although you may think these drills and workouts might be too much or abnormal, they are all working on the fundamentals and weakest parts of your game. After working with Coach Joe, you'll see yourself expanding your game and becoming more confident in uncomfortable situations. He makes sure you go as hard as possible, and use what you've learned, simplify your game, and you will fail but also improve your flaws. I would definitely recommend Coach Joe's training to any kids out there.
Obi Okafor (Testimonial)
The session were good i was never given the easy route during drills which helped my skills translate more to games. We attacked every part of the game in our sessions which helped me improve in every facet. I'd definitely recommend other people to train with Coach Joe because of the knowledge and passion he has for training.
Jacob Lawton (Testimonial)
