"I had the opportunity to be coached one-on-one by Justis, and my experience training with him played a huge role in my development as a football player. Having played high school football himself, his knowledge of the game is deep, detailed, and practical. He understands not just what to do, but why it works on the field. We trained consistently, focusing on fundamentals like ladder drills, running and agility drills, and proper ball-carrying technique. He always emphasized discipline, footwork, and football IQ, making sure I understood how each drill translated to real game situations. His coaching helped me become more confident, quicker, and more technically sound as a player. What really stood out was his patience and ability to break things down in a way that made learning easy. He pushed me to improve while still keeping training motivating and focused. I genuinely became a better player because of the time and effort he put into coaching me, and I’d highly recommend Justis to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated football coach.

Born in China and I came to the US when I was 15. I joined local swim team in Beijing when I was 7, I won 6 first place in regional competition when I was 12. I started playing basketball at 13, at the same time, I was recommended by middle school coach to run track, 100 meter, 200 meter, 300 hurdle, 4x100 and 4x400. In 2018 I was in the state meet competing. I was not the most physically gifted runner so I had to study the forms, techniques. I love the game of basketball and I experienced basketball from both cultures. I played JV in middle school and Varsity in High school, I played shooting guard position. Being not the most physically gifted, I had to work extra hard on my skills, understanding the game. I truly believe coaching track, swimming, basketball or any sports is bigger/more than just teaching youngsters the skills, it’s about life, lessons we learn from playing sports, spending time and energy to understand each other and one self.

"Justin is absolutely amazing! He is a really nice and pleasant guy, and super professional. I had private lessons before but I never felt that I improved so much like I did with Justin! Justin paid close attention to how I stand, move, and hit the ball, and gave me direct feedback during the lesson. I was so excited to feel how I’m improving throughout the lesson, and can’t wait for my next lesson with Justin! If you live in the Hoboken/Jersey City area, and want to improve your pickleball skills - Justin is your guy!
