More About Coach Zeph
I have been playing basketball since 4 years old. My high school career began and finished at Grant High School. I played Varsity for 3 years and won many championships from tournaments, league titles, section titles, nor cal titles and Represented the Sacramento region in the State Championship during my Junior Year.
I am well rounded, knowledgeable, and skilled in multiple sports. I have coached multiple sports. I have coached at most levels that include Elementary, Middle, and High School; And currently coach middle school boys basketball.
I love the challenge of developing players who lack skill and confidence and transform them into a decent player to compete at the level they play and beyond or who has the potential skill to steady progress them as a good player at the next level. I love teaching players the fundamental of the sport they play. My strong points are organization, structure, mental toughness, and obedience, inspiring/motivator, mentor and teacher of the sport. I am a coach who will push my players to the limit and will challenge them to give their best at all times. I will not settle for a player to just give their minimum. Here is a background of my coaching experience and my accomplishments below.

Client Reviews
Eakjot (CoachUp client)
Coach Zeph is a phenomenal coach and really knows what he teaches. I learned more in one session with Coach Zeph than entire my first month of football. He teaches fundamentals and the little things that make a player great. Will definitely stick to Coach Zeph as my football coach
Ayana (CoachUp client)
I was extremely impressed with the Coach's interaction with my son and skill set that was interpreted into the session. Coach Zeph was exceptionally knowledgeable and implied perfect drills for a beginner student. I absolutely recommend Zeph from beginners to anyone who wants to learn a little more about the game.
Trina (CoachUp client)
Myles has only had 1 session with coach Zeph and I saw improvement immediately. Coach Zeph is results oriented and takes his time to not only train, but educate the player about the fundamentals of the game. Myles enjoyed the one on one
session. I highly recommend coach Zeph for your basketball training needs.
Vincent (CoachUp client)
Coach Zeph worked very well with my son. He was extremely helpful in giving my son tips on how to improve his basketball skills. His knowledge of the sport and what he taught my son in just an hour was amazing. Coach Zeph was patient and very understanding. My son has had a lot of coaches and coach Zeph over exceeded all of my expectations. I would definitely recommend Zeph to anyone who is looking to learn the game of basketball, gain the skills to excel, or just to have fun playing. Coach Zeph gives you all of that.
