Coach Jonathan is fantastic! After the session started he immediately noticed a hitch in my son's shot that no other coach had seen. He worked to correct that as well as provided him with a great workout and lots of tips for how to improve his ballhandling and offensive skills. We will definitely be seeing Coach Jonathan again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a coach that knows the game and is amazing at translating that knowledge to results on the court.

Coach Jonathan did a great job working with my son, Jacob. Jacob gained tremendous confidence after only one coaching session. Coach Jonathan was patient and helped Jacob better understand the fundamentals of basketball. It’s obvious that Coach Jonathan cares about the development and confidence of the player. We are looking forward to our next session with Coach Jonathan.

Coach Jonathan is an excellent trainer! He knows what he is doing and the drills are very good for my son. My son is getting exactly what he needs to become a better basketball player and reach his goals. There is little down time during the session and my son always has a basketball in his hands so I feel that it is a great learning experience for my son.
