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 training session with Coach Mendo (Wayne) was excellent. The session was well organized-- he was able to quickly assess my current abilities and areas for growth, and then ran me through a number skill building excercises. By the end of the first session I could tell that my dribbling skills were much improved and he gave me specific advice on how to improve my shot. His coaching style is positive and direct and I look forward to our future training sessions.

I played 5 years of college basketball, and I've been coaching youth sports for the past couple years. I also have experience training NBA and NCAA players. I'm willing to work with any age, any skill level. The coaches I had throughout my playing career changed my life, and my goal is to pass on my experiences to the next generation.

Former college basketball player and USA Basketball certified coach who has been working with athletes for over ten years, emphasizing the FUNdamentals of sports. I design practices that enhance decision-making, perception, and creativity under pressure. Training goes beyond drills and mechanics to develop athletes who can read the game and perform when it matters most.
