About
My name is Chris Johnson, a professional basketball trainer with experience competing at the high school, collegiate, and international professional levels. I played four years of varsity basketball, three years at the college level, and earned NAIA All-American honors in 2017. I have played professionally in Mexico, Canada, Spain, Indonesia, Malta, and across Europe, along with experience in the NBA G League (2020). Training and competing in multiple systems has allowed me to develop a well-rounded, adaptable approach to player development. I specialize in basketball training, skill development, conditioning, and basketball IQ improvement for athletes of all levels—beginner, youth, high school, and college players. My training focuses on: • Ball handling and scoring development • Shooting mechanics and consistency • Game-speed drills and decision-making • Strength, conditioning, and endurance • Offensive and defensive basketball IQ Each session is structured to be game-realistic, efficient, and tailored to the athlete’s goals. I focus on building confidence, discipline, and consistent improvement through proven training methods used at higher levels of play. If you’re looking for a basketball trainer near you who prioritizes development, structure, and results, I’m here to help you take your game to the next level. Train smarter. Play faster. Elevate your game.

It was my first time on the court, and Chris was amazing! He made learning the rules and do’s and don’ts of basketball super easy to understand. I had such a great time and actually feel like I know how to play now — definitely a great coach!! 😊

Coach Chris was accommodating with our schedule and was really approachable, kind and professional! He knows what he’s doing, balances it with high expectations and each kids ability/age/skillset. My daughter enjoyed her first session and is looking forward to one on one sessions moving forward!

We had our first practice and player assessment with Coach Chris today, and it was a great experience. My teenage son is getting back into the sport after taking some time off, and Coach Chris struck the perfect balance of focus, discipline, and coolness that really connected with him. He took the time to work on fundamentals and gave clear, patient feedback throughout the session. You can tell he knows how to meet players where they’re at and bring out their best. We’re really looking forward to continuing to work with him!

My son started playing later than most kids. He drinbled his fitst ball with Chris. Chris was always patient and supportive. My son still trains with him and always gets something from it. Chris is a natural coach.

My 53 daughter started working with Coach Chris in middle school when she decided to play basketball for the first time. He provides 1 on 1 and group sessions. He works with your schedule and will travel to you. Through his coaching she learned the game and made her middle school and now high school frosh team. They work on conditioning, ball handling, shooting and development of defensive and offensive IQ. She appreciates his patient and laid back coaching style. He is easy to communicate with. I recommend him if you are interested in a private coach.
