Dre A profile
About Dre

At the age of 9, I discovered basketball and became obsessed with it. “Basketball is life” was my motto growing up—from finishing team practices at the gym, then going straight to a local basketball court for pickup games. I considered basketball courts my second home, and in many ways, they still are. My playing journey took me through several years in AAU leagues, starting with the Bay Area Asian Sports Dragons as a youth. As a four-year varsity player, I earned MVP and MIP awards in middle school and high school, and was honored to make the PAL NorCal All-League First and Second Teams during my later years. These experiences taught me that individual recognition means nothing without the team and community that supports you. I am an advocate for fostering community and connections through sports, and I truly believe that sports bring out the best in people. Having walked the path from beginner to competitive player, I want to be a guiding light for those just starting out or looking to elevate their development. My goal is to help players grow their skills while encouraging them to become better people throughout their journey. For over two decades, I’ve cultivated a deep love and understanding of basketball. I focus on skill development and strategic thinking, fostering both confident players and a genuine love for the game. I’m here to share that same passion with anyone who aspires to get better and compete to their fullest potential.

What students say...

"Drea is a patient and knowledgeable coach who makes the game fun. We look forward to working with her again!

About Mike

GALILEO HIGH SCHOOL (1987, 1988 (MVP) SKYLINE JUNIOR COLLEGE (1989, 1990) (RANKED #2 IN ASSISTS (CIF) 1990 NOTRE DAME DE NAMUR UNIV. (1993,1994) DIVISION 2 BASKETBALL (MVP 93’ 94’)

What students say...

"I feel that the workouts are good but repetitive we only work on the same 6-7 things every time and there’s no difference in the practice but the things we have been working on has gotten me better, like my middys and the use of my off arm and hand and using my vision. I’ve learned many different ways to pull of a good pass and how to protect the basketball. I do feel like I learn something new every time I workout with coach P.
