More About Coach Russell
I am a basketball/personal trainer. I have been doing this for over 13 years. My style of coaching is based on the things I learned from coaching clinics and my old coaches.
I have worked with players of all ages and levels. It is a joy to see the smile on their faces when they accomplish their goals. I help inculcate the value of hard work, in all the athletes I coach.
I take my clients to the weight room and teach them proper techniques of lifting. Then to the basketball court to work on all aspects of the game.
I will evaluate each player at our first and last session, this will let them know how far they have come.
As a coach I have helped develop players to become the overall complete player they want to be. I have a few guys that I have trained that are now playing college and overseas ball. I have coached teams to reach state and national tournaments for AAU and MAYB. I am continuing to coach teams and am starting them at younger ages to help them grow throughout their school life.

It was a great session, my son kept telling me that he loves coach Russell. He was very professional and he motivated my son. The next day, he had a game and he scored a few points,my son was convinced it was because of coach Russell. We are looking forward to the next sessions.
Daniela (CoachUp client)
Coach Russell has been holding private practice sessions with our 8 year old son and we have been more than pleased with the results. He has experience as a coach at all levels and age groups and it shows with the time, dedication and overall basketball knowledge Coach Russell has exhibited. Our son’s confidence and skill set is already starting to grow while under Coach Russell’s tutelage. 5/5 would recommend!

My 7 year old had his first session with Coach Russell last week and another one tomorrow! He can't wait to get back onto the court for another session! Coach Russell was interactive, upbeat, and taught at his level. He was able to pick up some new concepts and I'm eager to see what the future lesson have on store and how his skills will continue to excell.

We booked 3 initial coaching sessions with Coach Russell and have been so impressed with his ability to train, mentor and motivate my son so far. My 10 year old is a beginner and has only use 2 sessions so far but we've already seen improvements and more motivation from my kiddo to engage in the sport. Coach Russell is organized and gives clear instructions. The other kids on the court seem to genuinely respect him. We will definitely be booking more time with Russell, he is great.

Coach Russell is awesome. He works very well with my son while being patient. He is helping him understand the basic fundamentals of basketball. Excited to continue working with him.
Charles (CoachUp client)
My son hadn't had much prior basketball experience. But enjoys the game. So I decided to get a trainer to help out since I work alot of hours and don't have as much time as I would like to teach him myself. When practice with coach first began my son was extremely nervous but Coach Russell was extremely positive and motivating. By the the end of practice my son had a totally different and more confident demeanor. It even showed at his practice with his basketball during the week. He and I both our looking forward to future practice with Coach.

Coach Russell is an amazing coach! My son has never played basketball before. After one lesson, Coach Russell helped my son with his confidence and he was able to make some great shots on the basket. My son was able to understand the game and is now looking forward to try-outs!

First and foremost, my son really really enjoy training with him. He is amazing with kids. My son only been with him for two session and I can see the improvement, focusing on fundamentals of basketball. And he even explain to me everything they did during the session. We are definitely staying with him. Thank you coach!

My teen has only had three sessions with Coach Russell and I can already see a difference in his playing. Coach is top notch and recommend him highly! Great personality and his experience speaks for itself!
Patrick (CoachUp client)
He is a really good coach I felt like I improved on the first day and I'm definitely going to book again
Lawanda (CoachUp client)
I was very pleased with the coach's attention to detail when it came to my son's game. He worked him hard but praised him when my son executed the task. I was very happy to know that my son will be pushed to reach and exceed his potential. Very excited for the end result.
Desmond (CoachUp client)
I noticed an improvement in my game even after just the first session. He tells you what you're doing wrong and works with you to fix it. Also tells you what to work on to make sure you get better. He is a very good coach and I wish I would've been able to learn from someone like him earlier on.
Malachi (CoachUp client)
Coach Russell is a great coach helping me improve my game every time we train. I'm glad I can call him my new coach I will do nothing but stride to get better each day
Laylah (CoachUp client)
Coach Russell is great! My son already improved in the two sessions he has had. Thank you, Coach, my son is looking forward to his other sessions!
Marisol (CoachUp client)
He was able to leave a good impression and comfort quickly. Already better from simple techniques he's coached so far!
Jeannie (CoachUp client)
My sons first day with Coach Russell was promising. Coach Russell provided my son with a lot of useful techniques to practice on his own. What I like most was at the end of the session Coach Russell took the time to explain what he worked on with my son and how my son could improve. This was valuable information
William (CoachUp client)
Coach Russell has been excellent in helping my son with the development of his basketball skills and with making him a student of the game not just a player by explaining situations and why he's doing certain drills. Coach Russell's knowledge and passion for basketball and passing that on to his students is evident in the success of his AAU teams and in the sessions he has with my son. I would highly recommend him as a coach for anyone looking to take their child to the next level.
