More About Coach Zach
I bring extensive hands-on experience coaching and training youth basketball players through various organizations and settings. As a certified National Alliance for Youth Sports basketball coach, I have logged over 100 coaching hours at community centers, summer camps, clinics, youth leagues and private training sessions. I have worked with athletes from kindergarten through high school and adults, providing a structured, high-quality training approach to help players maximize their potential.
My competitive playing experience includes being a varsity guard for the Westlake High School basketball program. I went on to play intramural basketball at Texas Tech University and have remained actively involved in men's leagues around Austin. This well-rounded background spanning high school, college, and competitive adult play allows me to effectively teach and develop players at all levels.
During my sessions, young athletes can expect an engaging and well-rounded approach to skill development. We will focus on mastering the fundamentals, including proper shooting mechanics, footwork, ball-handling, passing, rebounding, and defense. However, the training goes beyond just the physical skills - we will also work on building a deep strategic understanding of the game itself. Just as importantly, I believe a huge part of my role is to instill the intangible values that make a complete player - competitiveness, sportsmanship, and the ability to be an exceptional teammate. These qualities will be emphasized throughout our training. While skill work is the core focus, players can also expect to have an enjoyable, energetic experience that nurtures their passion for the game. My goal is to provide a positive, productive environment where young athletes can refine their skills, expand their basketball IQ, and cultivate the mindset of a winner, all while having fun.

Zach is an incredible personal basketball coach for my son while playing for his junior varsity team. He is always accommodating with scheduling, making it easy to fit sessions into our busy lives. Zach’s dedication to my son’s growth as a player really stands out—he genuinely cares about his learning and development. My son often mentions how the concepts Zach teaches him are directly applicable to his high school games, which has boosted both his confidence and performance on the court. If you’re looking for a coach who combines skill, flexibility, and a passion for teaching, Zach is the perfect choice!

Deepak (CoachUp client)
Coach Zach is very disciplined , professional , focused and amazing basketball coach. Like a true coach, he evaluated my daughter's BB skills and athleticism when we started and then recommended plan of work both off and on court. He is also keeping her motivated when she is not happy with herself because of missing shots or not exactly replicating the moves. I sure see a lot of improvement in her . To me, he is very flexible to accommodate our schedule. I can clearly see that he is working hard to help my daughter achieve success her game. Last thing, I wish we found him sooner before I wasted my time and money on those overrated and expensive BB camps.
Lisa (CoachUp client)

Coach Zach is easy to communicate with, appointments are scheduled quickly and there is great flexibility in training location. Coach is also checking in before and after the sessions.
