Private Basketball Training & Coaches in Lakewood, CA

On the court, I'm all about pushing boundaries and building confidence. With 32 years of experience, I've honed a coaching style that blends technical expertise with a passion for fostering a love for the game. Let's unlock your potential together – one basket at a time. I have been playing basketball since the age of 10. My brother was on the high school team and I have trained with him growing up almost everyday. I played on my college intramural team and have taken lessons from professionals that played in college. I regularly play in basketball leagues that even have players over 6’8” tall. I am well versed in young children as I have taught young students English from three years up. (I have my own kids these ages) I am bilingual Mandarin and can explain concepts well in both languages. I am patient, kind, and enjoy seeing others achieve their goals. I look forward to teaching any students be well rounded individuals not just in sports, but in life.

"Thank-you everyone for a great season and especially to coach Dennis for being an amazing coach.

I’m a lifelong student of the game, raised in a family of coaches, and I’ve spent years in the gym studying how players actually improve. I care about the details—footwork, decision-making, and building skills that show up in real games. Every session is focused on helping players grow their confidence, understand the game, and become more effective when it matters. I built my own game around efficiency—shooting over 60% from three with a 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio—and that same approach is what I now use to help players improve and reach their potential. Above all, my goal is to help players develop a genuine love for the game that lasts a lifetime.

For a decade, I've been driven by a passion for unlocking the potential within every basketball player. My coaching blends technical expertise with a supportive and engaging approach, making learning both effective and fun. Let's step onto the court together and elevate your game!

"Brandon was very focused during the workout and ensured that I understood everything that he was trying to teach me. He has the skill level to back up his teaching so it was easy to gravitate towards what he was demonstrating. He was nice and made that experience very comforting for a player like me who is new to the game.
