Fredi (CoachUp client)

Coach Shaun was very informative and intuitive and immediately helped my son determine what he needed to work on. Thankful for his input in my son’s shooting development process.

Brian (CoachUp client)

Coach Shaun takes a genuine approach to help tweak the area you’re looking to improve. As an adult player seeking a perspective that can fix some of my bad habits, Shaun breaks it down into steps and stages. He believes in building everything from the foundation and that nutrition and lifestyle choices all play a role. I definitely believe that the more time I spend training with Coach Shaun the more we will unlock and progress.

Addison (CoachUp client)

I recently started training with Coach Shaun, and I can confidently say he's an outstanding coach. As someone in their late 30s, my primary goal was to improve my shooting and ball handling skills, and Shaun has been instrumental in this journey. His approach is tailored and insightful, making each session productive and enjoyable. I'm already seeing significant improvements in my gameplay, which speaks volumes about his effectiveness. Beyond his coaching skills, Shaun is a genuinely terrific person and a great teacher. I always look forward to our sessions, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their basketball skills.

My daughter really enjoyed her first coaching session with Coach Shaun! He was very perceptive and intuitive, not only quickly assessing her physical skillset and growth edges, but also noticing where she can improve her mental game. He was knowledgeable and personable, and most importantly, she was a better shooter right after one session!

Jay (CoachUp client)

I went with Coach Shaun after reading some of his reviews. I'm happy to report; I had the same experience. Shaun was fun, encouraging, and easy to interact with. And, I noticed my shot was looking better right away, within minutes of our first session. Excited to address more of my fundamentals in the weeks to come.

Shauna (CoachUp client)

Coach Shaun was great with my son. He was very patient and broke down the basics to get him going. He had a blast and can’t wait for his next session.

Zack (CoachUp client)

Coach Shaun was able to quickly identify the problems with my 10 year old son’s shot. After a few key tweaks to his stance and release point, my son was draining shots. My son responded really well to Coach Shaun’s direct, clear, and positive coaching style. We’re looking forward to ongoing sessions with Coach Shaun as my son continues his journey through AAU basketball and beyond.

David (CoachUp client)

Shaun was a great coach for son Zachary today. In hour my son improved his skills of shooting and he right away saw what needed to be adjusted. My son got back his confidence to shoot. Shaun was patient and fun. For sure he knows what he is doing. We are ready for next training session.

Matt (CoachUp client)

Brian (CoachUp client)

My son just had one of the best practices one can ask for. I was very hesitate in the beginning; but, after the first lesson my son and I are sold on Shaun process. It’s worth it and we will continue this journey. Thanks in advance Shaun for all the support and taking my son to the next level.

Anthoy (CoachUp client)

Great coach very patient with my son

Frank (CoachUp client)

This was my son's first session with Shaun and I saw my son improving by the minute. He went to his team's basketball practice an hour later and all three coaches immediately noticed his improved shooting form. Highly motivated coach. Immediate chemistry with my son. I wish I had done this earlier.

Diana (CoachUp client)

Coach Shaun is accommodating, knowledgeable and personable, after just 1 session with my son we can already see a big improvement and a boost in his self confidence. His workouts is just what he needed, we couldn’t be happier. Thank you coach!! We look forward to our journey!

Steve (CoachUp client)

My son had one session with Coach Shaun but we plan to continue. My son is 9 and has played in both club and rec leagues for about 1.5 years. In just 1.5 hours with Coach Shaun I felt like he made visible improvement / learned better fundamentals. Some quick points that might be worth sharing:

1.) We were looking for a coach that had good guard skills since my son is unlikely to ever be 6'2" or anything like that. Coach Shaun is not a huge guy, but that was perfect for imparting skills that were relevant

2.) Coach Shaun is based in Pasadena but was willing to travel to Santa Monica

3.) My son really enjoyed the session and it was a good balance of friendly / encouraging / fun but also focused and pragmatic. My son has light ADHD but he had no problems paying attention to Coach Shaun because he found it engaging and interesting

Kc (CoachUp client)

Naturally I hired Coach Shaun because he’s played on a semi-pro basketball team. Proper technique and maximizing opportunities for future scouting was my motivation. The results are beyond my expectation. My 10 year old son is learning life lessons through basketball. Working with Coach Shaun has increased his confidence, expanded his strategic mindset, and improved his communication skills. Most of all, it’s changed my relationship with my son, whereas there are less outburst, open dialogue, and he’s showing commitment in areas he appeared uninterested. Couch Shaun is genuinely interested in my son, his overall development, and through him I believe I’m learning to be a better listener for my son. Thank you for all you do!
