Fred Thomas ParkBasketball Venue in Denver, CO

Born and raised in Colorado, I’ve lived and breathed basketball my whole life. I trained and played at the highest levels — starting at Highlands Ranch High School where I was ranked 2nd in the state, then competing at Gonzaga and now at the University of Wyoming. I’m here to give back. My goal as a trainer is simple: to help young players grow with confidence, discipline, and love for the game. I know what it takes to compete, and I know what it feels like to need someone who believes in you. My coaching style is hands-on, encouraging, and built around your goals — whether you're just starting out or chasing that next level. Let’s get in the gym and get to work. I'm passionate about cultivating well-rounded basketball players by instilling not just skills, but also sportsmanship and a genuine love for the game. With 19 years of experience, I provide individualized guidance to help athletes at any level reach their full potential on and off the court. Let's work together to elevate your game!
