What Our Clients Say

Karl has helped me improve in so many different aspects of my game especially my mind. I've taken some of meditation exercises and incorporated them into my everyday routines. Besides working on on-court skills like ball-handling, shooting, and reading defenses, off the court he's also a great mentor. Always being open to giving advice about anything especially about life. Definitely would suggest him for anyone at any age who's trying to get better at their game.

Coach Karl helped me improve a lot in different aspects of my game. While training with him, I was able to get my ball handling tighter which happens to be one of my weaknesses. As a shooter, he puts out challenging drills to make my shooting even better. He also helped me become more mentally focused - with his words of wisdom, encouragement, meditation and positivity. Aside from a good coach, he is also a good friend. Anyone starting out basketball from any level, beginning to pro, I would definitely recommend Coach Karl.

I've known Coach Karl since we were in college and I'm amazed by how he has evolved from playing in the pros to now coaching the pros. I see in his coaching the same competitive spirit, attention to detail, and no-BS approach that he had as a player. Personally, my ball handling and overall competitiveness has improved with Coach Karl. He has a way of breaking down concepts and then build those up into things that really translate in-game. It's not all just skill though with Coach Karl, he has also helped me tremendously with the mindset.

Before and after every training, we take time to lock in and meditate - cutting out all distractions and really focusing on the task at hand.... Karl has shown me the importance of slowing it down, trusting yourself and being confident. What's great about working with Karl is that he's not just a coach, but a big brother, constantly pushing you to get better and giving priceless advice because he knows what it takes to have a successful career as a pro. To anyone out there looking to work on all facets of the game, both on the court and oft, I would definitely recommend working with Karl.

Karl knows what it takes to succeed in this game because he lives and breathes it everyday. Even before he started coaching, Karl was my teammate as a rookie and I always looked to him for guidance like a big brother. He's very genuine; serving his purpose to truly wanting to help others. He's meticulous with the process on how to skillfully maximize your game, From warm ups to in game situations to calming and molding your mind for improvement. Players and coaches nowadays tend to not tackle the mental details necessary to be dominant. With all the variables this game comes with, Karl helped guide me to not get too high or too low but to be in that mental space to put myself in a position to succeed. It's the details from every facet of t
