More About Coach Theodore

First got into player development in 2013 with EYG Elevate Your Game at PrestonWood Baptist Church while I was in college. Since then I've worked with players, teams, and coaches at all levels. I’ve been around the game nonstop.

B.S. Exercise Physiology - Texas Wesleyan University

2015- Started private training on my own under TrainWithTheo. I’ve worked with select and AAU team such as NTX Showtime, Taca Storm, Lady Lakers providing teams and coaches with extra skills training and help.

2018 – Coached at the Pangos Camp in Dallas at Drive Nation. My connections began to pickup I was able to meet learn from elite trainers like Tyler Relph. And began to travel and work with players and also do film.

2019 – Head Trainer at Pickup USA Coppell

Varsity Player in high school.
Played collegiate basketball at Dallas Christian College and helped team win 2013 ACCA National Championship.

2021 Bailey Harris signed full scholarship to University Arkansas Monticello

For new clients especially younger kids I like to access ball handing which includes hand eye coordination and hand foot coordination. I check footwork with emphasis on layups, pivot foot, triple threat. Shooting is an entire process of its own at times. I have a vast and open understanding on shooting mechanics I’ve helped dozens of kids improve there shooting many times after one session. Once I’ve made these assessments I begin to address area the athlete lacks in and also add to their strengths.

Remember per Coachup 24 hour clause you must cancel the session 24 hours before to receive refund.

Coach Theo connected well with my son! He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to break down the drill. We are looking forward to more sessions with him!

Theo told us what we needed to hear, not what he thought we wanted to hear. We appreciate his honesty and expertise along with his impressive training program for our daughter. He is teaching her game situations with himself as a defender and lots of actual technical coaching to reinforce the right behavior. He is calm and encouraging while being direct and clear in his coaching. Theo has not only been a game changer for our daughter but is working on changing her life by giving her a shot at college ball.

Our daughter is 6’2” and has been playing for 13 months. He worked with her after four months and got us connected with an AAU team and coach willing to invest in a rookie who has two years to make her way. We are back with him and super excited about the way he is developing our daughter. So is she!

Coach works well with kiddos my daughter is learning so much in such a short time, we are on our 4th session and will continue to book!

Great with kids

Coach has done such an amazing job coaching my daughter. She has transformed so much from July till now. Thank you coach Theo for everything you do!

Coach Theodore was very professional and focused. He was able to quickly assess what my son needs to work on and had good drills for helping my son improve his game.

Amazing Coach with Patience and know exactly what his players are needing

Great coach. He assessed my sons ability’s and worked with him on improving his game. He is definitely worth the investment.

So far, my son has only gone to two (one on one 1 hour sessions) once a week, and he said that he already feels improvement in shooting and in all areas. Now when he goes to play basketball with his neighborhood friends each evening, it’s more than just a game with no goals. Coach Theodore has given him a set of skills he needs to be working on for homework. So now he has new goals and a new focus. After his 2nd session with coach Theo, he had a smile and confidence I haven’t seen in a long time. To me, that’s worth a whole lot more than just winning a game.

Does an awesome job. Really knows how to get the best out of you kid.

After just one sesaion with Coach Theodore, I knew he was the one to help my son get to his goals.
Booking more and can't wait to see how he improves though out the Summer.

Coach Theodore was fantastic with my son. He gave us some valuable feedback. Will definitely be coming back for more sessions.

Good, honest Coach, that seems to be really about helping the Athlete get better...

Coach Theodore is an excellent coach. On my first session, he immediately noticed where I needed improvement. He worked with me steps by steps and made me feel comfortable. To everyone who want to improve your ball handling, dribble skills, shooting skills, vertical jump...etc coach Theodore is the best.

Loved the sessions so far. Really helped me on my craft. I like how he challenges me and pushes me and doesn’t just watch the drills I do he corrects what I do and helps me improve on my game.

Landon learned so much in his first session!

I’m so glad we found Coach Theo! My son is new to basketball, and Theo has been incredibly helpful, not just with improving basic skills, but also with building his confidence and enthusiasm for the sport. I would highly recommend Theo to anyone looking for a basketball coach at any level.

Theo's first skills session with my 10-year old son was very good. He had him working on exactly what he should be, and even though it was a group session he was able to give my son plenty of attention and correction. Thanks Theo, great job.

Coach Theo is a very talented coach. He provides challenging workouts and practices. He is very patient and understanding and always encourages them to keep pushing. I am seeing improvements in my son’s basketball skills. And will continue to practice with him. I would highly recommend Theodore.

Coach Theo is so good and relatable. I like that he’s young and adds a modern touch to my game and always works on the little things. He seems super chill and like an amazing young man. Look forward to seeing him all the time in the future. Even when he was late this one time he gave me a couple lessons for free to make up for it. I look forward to working with him each and every week.

Excellent training

Coach Theo was great with my 14 year old son! After a quick analysis of his skill level Theo tailored just the right drills to make instant improvements in his game. He pointed out several subtle adjustments Aiden needed to make and stayed firm with him until he corrected them. Also was quick to praise as corrections were made and things he was doing right. After just 1 session we noticed an immediate improvement in our tournament this weekend and are excited to see the results of ongoing training with Theo!

We have had three sessions with Coach Theo and the change is amazing. My daughter shot has completely transformed and looks so much better. He has helped her to understand the details of making your shot better and quicker.

Coach is a great job with my daughter she learning so much. I cant wait to this season to start I have a good feeling about this.

Awesum trainer

My son really liked Theo and he worked on a lot of fundamentals. Austin asked when the next practice was going to be and he can't wait to go back.

Coach Theo is doing a great job with my 2 boys. This is their first time playing basketball and neither is very athletic. Coach Theo is very patient and kind. He is not only working skills and techniques, but also reviewing rules and basic strategy. Both my boys really like their sessions with Theo!

Coach Theo made my daughter feel comfortable and she was able to take away a few pointers and use them while she played. She is looking forward to her next session.

Coach Theodore is helping my son gain confidence in himself slowly but surely. Through Coach Theo's approach in mastering the basics in basketball, dribbling, passing, etc. I am seeing improvements with my son's attitude towards this sport. Before meeting Coach Theo, my son would shun basketball, but now, he is helping me assemble our baskeball hoop on our driveway!

Coach Theodore is a great coach.
My son saw immediate improvements in his skills after the first session. Would recommend coach Theodore!

Great coach, if you want to fix your shot, get him for sure.

For our first session Coach Theo did exactly what he described he was going to do with the assessment. He got my son to work hard and kept it fun and interesting for him. My son talked the whole ride home about how much he liked the workout and is excited to return. I will be booking more sessions with Coach Theo.

I really feel like I've improved alot
You have a lot to offer these kids.
