Coach Zack
With 13+ years of coaching experience with boys & girls from elementary- high school I've had the privilege to coach hundreds of players and build countless relationships. In my 11 years of coaching High School basketball, (9 as a head JV coach) I've been blessed to win championships, have undefeated seasons and coach players that have gone on to play college basketball. None of that is as important as developing and seeing the growth in a player on and off the court both with their skillset and their mindset. I know building confidence is more important than practicing any jump shot or dribble move. My philosophy is predicated on putting the players' needs first, being realistic but goal oriented, communication and trying to get better every day. In a time where kids want to be great overnight, it's easy skip steps and not enjoy the journey. These are the some of the best years and there is no reward greater than seeing a young player believe in themselves.
