"I made varsity my freshman year after training with him all summer, if you don’t want to take it from me-book a session with him and you’ll see progress in the first day.

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!

"Our 10 year old son has been working with coach Eddie for three months and we have seen huge improvements in our son’s skill level and attitude towards practice. Eddie comes prepared to every session with well thought out drills and lessons. He has clearly thought through a variety of ways to teach each skill and given thought to progression over time. He is patient, kind, and hard working. Our son is excelling and has a more focused (but also fun) outlook on practice. He has been very open of our feedback and input on things we want to see in lessons and is a great collaborator. He has also been very flexible when we have needed to cancel or move a lesson over the summer when our schedules have been more fluid. We would highly recommend Eddie to anyone with kids looking to grow as basketball players.

I turn fundamentals into court confidence, blending technical precision, tactical awareness, and a genuine passion for basketball. With 11 years' teaching experience, I provide structured skill development, strategic insight, and a supportive, disciplined approach that makes progress enjoyable.

Former D 1 recruiter, high school coach with 2 league titles and current WOA basketball official with over 1,500 varsity boys girls games officiated in King County/Metro including playoffs and post season. All sessions are geared to improve your skill set to ensure more fun playing. All drills will be multi-faceted, footwork focus and applicable to any style of play.

I’m Malcolm Albert, a Division III basketball player at Connecticut College and a lifelong student of the game. Growing up in Seattle, I developed my skills competing with Seattle Select AAU before completing a postgraduate season at Kimball Union Academy, where I had the opportunity to compete against high-level talent and continue growing as both a player and a leader. As a 6’4” shooting guard, my game is built around shooting, basketball IQ, and making winning plays. I pride myself on being a reliable catch-and-shoot player, creating scoring opportunities with smart movement, and constantly working to improve every part of my game. Basketball has taught me that success comes from consistency, discipline, and attention to detail. Those same principles are what I bring into every training session. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your game to the next level, my goal is to help you build confidence, sharpen your fundamentals, and develop skills that translate directly to game situations. I’m passionate about helping players improve because I know firsthand what it takes to grow through hard work and dedication.
