"Scott is a remarkable coach. As a high level player, I’ve found it very difficult to find a coach who truly understands the interplay of technique and tactics, and clearly communicate it the way Scott does. Additionally, he offers tremendous insight on the mental side of the game, which has helped me a great deal. I highly recommend!

I’m a Division 1 basketball player with experience competing at the highest collegiate level, and I currently train athletes in Los Angeles. At 6’10, I bring a unique perspective to the game and specialize in skill development, footwork, and improving overall basketball IQ. I’ve trained and competed against high-level players, so I understand what it takes to reach the next level. My goal is to help athletes build strong fundamentals, gain confidence, and apply their skills in real game situations. I work with players of all ages and skill levels—from beginners learning the basics to advanced athletes preparing for high school or college competition. I focus on creating a positive but competitive environment where players are pushed to improve every session. I take pride in helping athletes grow both on and off the court. Training Focus: * Shooting mechanics & consistency * Ball handling & footwork * Finishing & scoring moves * Game IQ & decision-making * Confidence & discipline

For many years, I've been sharing my love of surfing with others, guiding them to find their joy on the waves. As an avid surfer myself, I understand the challenges and exhilaration that come with the sport and am passionate about helping others experience a deeper connection with the ocean. I would love to work with you to improve your skills, confidence and bliss in the water.
"I loved how each session with Gabriel helps me improve steadily. The lessons are well-paced and encouraging, making progress feel natural and fun. If you want to develop your surfing skills with an upbeat coach, Gabriel’s lessons are definitely worth trying. You’ll enjoy the experience and see yourself getting better every time. 🌊

I had the best professional teachers from childhood. Maradona, Pele, and Phillips. A couple more, I’ll tell you in person. Pepperdine University graduate. I coached a lot of younger professional players when I was young, anything to get their attention and they listened. Euro 2024 and a lot of countries players. If you want me to coach your team to win a league it’s not difficult for me. I don’t need to play to coach. I prefer to play and coach.

Hi! I'm Nicole, a former junior tournament player. I have over 5 years coaching all ages and levels, from beginners who are just learning the basic strokes to tournament players working on strategy, conditioning, and mental toughness. Should you wish to train with me, I will make a personalized lesson plan to help you achieve your specific goals according to your level, experience, and desired time commitment. As a coach, I believe it is important to develop all parts of a tennis player. Sportsmanship, mental toughness, and strategy are as integral to a strong player just as much as the strokes and physical elements of the sport. If that sounds like something you are interested in for yourself or for your children, please reach out. Tennis provides lifelong rewards, and I look forward to being a part of your tennis journey. First Aid, CPR, and SafePlay certified.
"Nicole is one of the best tennis instructors I’ve seen. I grew up playing but my daughters wanted lessons from… not their dad, so I found Nicole and couldn’t be happier! Within their first semi-private they were already getting the ball over the net. So the results were there, but the girls also felt super comfortable with Nicole and are big into tennis now. Mission accomplished! Thanks Nicole!

On the court, I'm all about pushing boundaries and building confidence. With 32 years of experience, I've honed a coaching style that blends technical expertise with a passion for fostering a love for the game. Let's unlock your potential together – one basket at a time. I have been playing basketball since the age of 10. My brother was on the high school team and I have trained with him growing up almost everyday. I played on my college intramural team and have taken lessons from professionals that played in college. I regularly play in basketball leagues that even have players over 6’8” tall. I am well versed in young children as I have taught young students English from three years up. (I have my own kids these ages) I am bilingual Mandarin and can explain concepts well in both languages. I am patient, kind, and enjoy seeing others achieve their goals. I look forward to teaching any students be well rounded individuals not just in sports, but in life.
"Thank-you everyone for a great season and especially to coach Dennis for being an amazing coach.
