Private Lessons & Coaches in Valley Stream, NY

Hello! My name is Ian McBride. I am Alumni of Norcross High Basketball and played 4 years Collegiate Basketball in California. I went on to play pro in Japan as it ended with an injury that led me to stop playing professionally. So now with a total of 15 years dedicated to honing young talent on the court, I provide expert basketball coaching, fostering both skill and sportsmanship. My approach blends rigorous training with an enjoyable learning environment. I'm passionate about empowering athletes to achieve their full potential.

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 than just teaching youngsters the skills, lessons we learn from playing sports, spending time and energy to understand each other and one self. With 14 years of basketball instruction, I cultivate skills and passion on the court. I provide tailored coaching and unlock player potential through expert guidance and personalized training. I foster a positive and focused environment.

For many coaching is a job. For Coach Rez it seems to be a passion. He is definitely an asset to Sofive. Thanks, Sofive for looking for the best for our children and community.
