As a club basketball player at ASU, I have really developed and honed my skills this summer with Srikar. I feel like I am a much better scorer, passer, and teammate. Highly recommend!

I’ve had the chance to train and play with a lot of people, but Srikar stands out not just as a player, but as a coach. His ability to break down the game, explain concepts clearly, and tailor drills to your skill level is top-tier. Whether you're brand new or have been hooping for years, he knows how to push you while still making the game fun. He genuinely cares about your growth and brings great energy every time. Highly recommend working with him if you want to level up your game!

Srikar really helped me build my endurance on the court. I used to have plantar and it made it difficult to push myself, and Srikar with his medicine background helped me make an impact through different training and recovery methods.

“Srikar’s one of the few people I trust to really sharpen my game. He keeps things competitive but never overcomplicated. Super chill vibe, great energy, and somehow makes hard work actually fun. Every session feels worth it.”

About your basketball coach

Basketball has been a lifelong passion of mine, and coaching gives me the opportunity to share that love of the game with others. With years of experience both playing and mentoring, I have developed a coaching style that adapts to players of all ages and skill levels. Whether I am introducing the basics to young beginners or fine-tuning strategies with more advanced athletes, I focus on building confidence, teamwork, and a strong foundation. I believe that every player deserves to feel supported and challenged in a way that meets them where they are. My goal is to make the game fun, competitive, and meaningful, no matter who is on the court. I bring energy, patience, and a deep respect for the game to every practice and every player. I am currently saving for medical school, so I am happy to work with you on scheduling and availability. Whether you’re looking for consistent sessions or flexible drop-ins, I will do my best to make it work. :)
