I’m a coach, basketball dad, and former varsity head coach who knows exactly what programs expect. With 20+ years in the game—and two sons I personally train (an incoming senior and an 8th grader)—I’ve lived every angle of the journey. Both are known in the basketball community for their game and growth. I train players to think sharper, move smarter, and compete with real confidence. Let’s build skill, IQ, and presence—because the game notices who’s ready.

"“Coach Jason has helped me focus on the things that matter as I get ready for high school ball — effort, decision-making, and body language.

I just completed my incoming HS camp last week and my new coaches complimented me on my approach to basketball. My confidence is high right now!”

I’ve been training for about 2 years now. I don’t train the same for every kid. I look for what the kids actually need help with including jump training, ball handling, shooting and whatever else they need to improved their game. I played college and also in the ABA currently.
