He has an incredible ability to break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand explanations, making even the most challenging topics approachable. What truly sets Doug apart is his genuine care for his students.

I’ve started playing baseball since I was in kindergarten roughly 18 years ago. In high school I was one of Oregons top players. Also was awarded player of the north when I played in the senior all star games. There I was talked to by many colleges but due to COVID I could only make it into junior college. After two years of college, I ended up going a different route. Where I ended up in the trades. but something was missing. I couldn’t give up the sport. I’m in a men’s league here in Portland where I get to keep enjoying the game. But now with all of my knowledge of the game, I want to share it. Maybe show someone how to love the game as I do.

I’m Wayne Mendezona, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Corban University and founder of Quick Handle Basketball. I’ve spent over 30+ years developing athletes and have trained more than 50,000 players—from youth to college and professional levels. I specialize in ball handling, scoring, and game performance—helping athletes build confidence, decision-making, and real in-game results. My training is not just drills—it’s about developing complete players who can perform under pressure, think the game, and separate themselves from the competition. I don’t train average. I train athletes who are serious about growth, discipline, and competing at a higher level. If that’s you, let’s get to work.

"My son said Coach Mendo was far and away the most effective coach he's ever worked with! His knowledge, tools, and willingness to share wisdom are incredible. I've never seen my son so impressed by a coach or heard him so enthusiastic about what he learned in a session. Very grateful!

I played 5 years of college basketball, and I've been coaching youth sports for the past couple years. I also have experience training NBA and NCAA players. I'm willing to work with any age, any skill level. The coaches I had throughout my playing career changed my life, and my goal is to pass on my experiences to the next generation.
