With two decades of playing basketball, two of those years played overseas, I blend proven techniques with personalized strategies to unlock your full potential. I am dedicated to fostering skill development and igniting a lasting passion for the game. I bring fun and passion to coaching.

"Before I started training with Coach Kevin, I felt like I had the skills, but didn’t really understand how to put everything together. He didn’t just teach me how to play better he helped me, build my confidence, work ethic, and mindset. Every session was intense, but fun, and I always felt like he truly cared about helping me grow on and off the court. He pushes you to be your best, and I’m a way better player and person because of him. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Coach Kevin! - Jordan T., Age 15

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!

"My son is skilled and has a ton of talent but he lacks motivation. Coach Kim was great at helping my son learn discipline and structure. He loved Coach Kim and learned a lot from him. Definitely recommend him as a coach.
