Coach TJ has had a huge impact on my daughter's game. Not only has he helped my daughter improve her basketball skill, but TJ has also helped tremendously with the mental aspects of the game. Though my daughter has a high basketball IQ and is a skilled player, TJ has done a tremendous job of helping her scale those mental roadblocks that she imposes upon herself.The connection that he has made with my daughter is incredible and because of his approach with her, he has gained her trust and she is developing into the basketball player that I always knew she could be. Thanks Coach!

Coach TJs program is one of the best I’ve been through yet. More than the detailed oriented workout which is second to none. His leadership and ability to communicate with me made me feel much more confident with my game and the work. I promise you Coach TJ is someone you can trust and really believe in to take your game to the next level. His facility is crafted to the needs of the athlete and with time will only get better. I’m from Queens and travel to Staten Island to get someWork in. Coach TJ is the go to guy if you want to perfect your craft. Beyond Basketball Coach TJ is a great man and someone who is genuine and has natural love for the game. Much respect to this program!

There are simply not enough words to express what Coach TJ has done for me in my life. Coach TJ has been a friend, mentor, and even felt like family to me ever since we first began training together in the 8th grade. At first, I was a shy individual who was afraid to make mistakes. I was the individual who would break down mentally due to a lack of confidence and, as a result, often quit. I was the individual who believed that playing basketball at a competitive level was never an option. However, training with Coach TJ changed all this. Coach TJ and I would put in countless hours in the gym and he would push me to the highest level no matter how late or early it was, no matter how hot it was inside the gym during the summer, and no matter how tired I was. As a result, Coach TJ helped transform me into a confident individual who is not afraid to make mistakes in the gym or play against the best players out there. Coach TJ helped transform me into an individual who only knows “more†and how to keep going when faced with adversity. Coach TJ transformed me into an individual who gets focused and works even harder instead of getting frustrated when I do not receive the outcome I was hoping for.

Just started sending both my sons to Coach TJ for basketball lessons. He is an excellent coach. In only two sessions they are handling the ball with confidence and they are building their skills. Coach TJ is patient and teaches them to believe that they can do it. If they don't get it the first or second time, he works with them until they do. Wish we would have known about coach TJ two years ago.

What a blessing it has been for Coach TJ to have come into our son's life and begin what we feel will be a lifelong friendship as well as a trainer for our son Anthony. Coach TJ has helped transformed our fearful and unsure boy into a confident and fearless young man. TJ has been more then just a trainer and Coach but a friend and mentor that Anthony will forever look up to and continue to strive to make proud and someone we will continue to have and share lifelong experiences with. We are so thankful for you.

Coach TJ signifies the true meaning of what a coach/trainer represents. Coach TJ teaches respect on and off the court, team unity and sportsmanship. CoachnTK has the ability to trasform an average player into an A player with his expertise, patience and knowledge in seeing the weaknesses in a player and with practicing certain techniques and skills repeatedly making the player understand what it takes to improve. He speaks to his clients with respect and gives them the tools to improve their game from the first training session. Coach TJ has what it takes to reach our youths in a very positive way and make them aware of self improvement, having a better appreciation for their bodies and their opponents. A++

In my opinion Coach TJ is the best trainer I've ever had. He's better than them because he doesn't just take your money for the session and say have a nice day.. When I started with him he saw I needed help with some stuff and took time to take me to a park to workout and when it was over my dad tried to pay him and TJ wouldn't let him. He doesn't just care about the money he cares about teaching kids success in life through basketball. He's not just a coach to me he's a friend that i look up to. ~Jian (excuse the name i was like 7)😂😂

I would like to sincerely express my gratitude for all you have done in the past year and half with my son. Thank you for believing in him, making him better , and turn his I Can't to I Could If I Work Hard At IT. As long as he has a coach like you he will be successful. Thanks for being a coach that is constantly pushing his students to be better, teaching them the fundamentals, giving your time and dedication to the sport. In addition giving good advice to encourage, inspire and motivate. It is greatly appreciated and recognized. Keep up the good work!!!!!

Coach TJ is simply the best for basketball training because he is so much more than a coach! He is a friend, mentor and someone you can trust with anything. My daughter has taken private and group lessons with Coach TJ for the past 4 years. He pushes her to improve, corrects mistakes, provides constructive and positive feedback. Coach TJ is personable, friendly, honest and an excellent coach and motivator. He is truly committed to the development of players that he coaches and supports my daughter in ways no other coach has. He even went to my daughter's games to assess her skills, provide insights to work on her training and to show support. I highly recommend Coach TJ to any player who wants to improve and develop their game.

Coach TJ is so much more than a basketball trainer. He has been an amazing mentor and friend to my son. He has transformed him from a shy basketball player into a confident young man. By praising the effort as well as the result, Coach TJ has inspired my son to approach life differently. As a result of this, my son's basketball IQ, skill set, academics, and personal life have changed dramatically. Coach TJ is one of the most genuine people I know and I am certain he will be a part of our lives for a very long time.

My son has been training with Coach TJ for the past 3 years. His training provides not only superb skill development, but also lessons in mental toughness and discipline. The classes are small enough to allow for a lot of individual attention, and the schedule offers multiple days/times making it easy to plan our after-school activities. Beyond being a great coach, TJ also really does care about the kids and pushes them to new levels of success. Thanks to his training, my son now plays in multiple basketball leagues and is constantly adding something to his game. Being part of TJ's training gives him a boost that you cannot get from individual or even team practice. We highly recommend Coach TJ whether you are new to basketball, or an experienced player looking to take the next step!
