Coach Zack’s JourneY

Growing up as one of the shortest players on the court, Coach Zack often found himself overlooked and stuck in a supporting role. Determined to play college basketball, he embraced a score-first mentality and focused on outsmarting opponents. 

 

 

This shift from fitting in to dominating the game through strategic play became his coaching philosophy, helping players rise above their limitations and make a significant impact on the court.

“Zack worked with my daughter. He is very patient, detailed, and makes the workouts challenging, but fun. He is engaged, and so are the children. He will point out their weaknesses, and make them challenge themselves. He also teaches gameplay situations through play, which is very helpful to every athlete, especially those who are new to the sport. Thank you Zack for being a kindred spirit!”
