More About Coach Stephen
I have been a coach for over 12 years. I have coach both basketball and football. I am also a certified youth sports and fitness trainer through ISSA (International Sports and Science Association). I also have my own basketball organization (Maryland Hornets) and I have my own youth sports and fitness business (Quillens Youth Sports and Fitness).
I have played high school and recreational balll, but my coaching experience is where I really excel. I constantly read and study whatever sport I coach and train in. I am a member of the American Coaching Association, where I have scored high on all of my coaching scenarios and test.
During my sessions, my main focus is the fundamentals of the sport and making sure that the athlete understands why fundamentals is so important. We will go over the proper why to shoot, work on ball handling and the drills will be game like to get them prepared to use everything they learned in there game. I will also develop their basketball IQ. Which is an important aspect of the game.

Client Reviews
Roger (CoachUp client)
This was my 13-year-old daughter's first session with Coach Stephen. Neither she nor I knew quite what to expect, however, within minutes of meeting Coach Stephen, we knew he was an excellent choice. He was engaging and welcoming from the outset, and got my daughter working immediately. He has a keen coaches eye, and therefore, was able to assess very quickly what she needed to be working on. My daughter loved the session and is looking forward to working with Coach Stephen again.
Lufrey (CoachUp client)
Coach Stephen is a great guy. He is very knowledgeable about all areas of the game of basketball. My son and I have been learning lot. He is very easy to work with, and his communications and directions are very easy and simple for child to understand and reciprocate towards their game. He is very good with helping you understand the mental and physical parts and how they coincide. I will be using him a lot more in the future and I thoroughly recommend him if your looking to improve your child's skills.
Rob (CoachUp client)
After 3 sessions to see how it worked out, my son and his friend, 13 years old, wanted 5 more. They learned a lot of techniques and had great workouts. Coach Stephen is a high school coach, he has a great order to his teaching. The sessions started and ended on time. The communication was fantastic; there was no difficulty getting messages through in either direction. The CoachUp system is very user friendly. The kids are already taking about starting again in the spring. This was a great find by the kids themselves by the way.

“Our daughter suffered 2 ACL injuries in a span of 3 years. As anyone who may have gone through this unfortunate experience will know, recovery from ACL reconstruction involves extensive (and painful) rehab and therapy to regain strength and range of motion in the knees…and this is just the easier part of the recovery process. Coach Stephen’s approach is both unique as well as systematic. His method of training involves an initial assessment of our daughter’s overall current skillset. This in turn allowed him to specifically target areas where there is a need for strengthening or improvement. He is very attentive and patient, fully understanding that young athletes recovering from devastating sport injuries require both mental, as well as physical reinforcement. Coach Stephen does not only train but also mentors his trainees. In the process, he not only addresses the physical requirements of basketball but also addresses the mental aspect of the game. We are very pleased with Coach Stephen and would highly recommend him to any young athlete recovering from an injury, or perhaps just looking to take their game to the next level..”
Dr. Kerith and Mrs. Dawn Joseph (Testimonial)
The manner in which Coach Stephen tailors his practices and his temperament, depending on the needs of his players, is quite impressive, unlike many of his colleagues who seem to have a one size fits all approach. He has a profound understanding of the game and how to get players to perform. He is insightful regarding players moods based on development and/or personal circumstances. After witnessing our daughter’s development under Coach Quillens we hired him as a personal basketball trainer for her. She complains about everything but never complains about basketball training with Coach Quillens.
Brandy Watson (Testimonial)
When we first met him Brandon was very new at basketball. His first team benched him for the whole season. It was frustrating traveling to games just to see him having to sit and be benched.Afterwards we hired Mr. Quillens as a private trainer for Brandon for basketball. He would work hard with Brandon one on one for a couple hours twice a week. Since then his game and skill has improved tremendously!!! Now no one can believe that he has only been playing basketball for a year and a half. He went from being benched to starting and from JV to varsity for his high school team all while working under Mr. Quillens. I would highly recommend Mr. Quillens to ANYONE looking for a coach or private trainer for basketball.
Michele Alston (Testimonial)
Since my son Jeremiah has been coached by Coach Steve he took his school work more seriously. His confidence, self-esteem and self-respect have increased tremendously. Coach Steve is not only passionate about the game but about the young people's education, teamwork and outreach and missions.
