About
My name is Chris Johnson, and basketball has been a part of my life at every level. I’m 31 years old, with four years of high school varsity experience, three years of college basketball, and I earned NAIA All-American honors in 2017. I’ve competed professionally in Mexico, Canada, Spain, Indonesia, Malta, Europe, and the NBA G League (2020). I’ve trained with and against elite talent, learned multiple systems, and adapted to high-level basketball cultures around the world. That experience is what separates my training from the rest. My training focuses on game-ready skills, basketball IQ, conditioning, and confidence, using proven workouts and techniques I learned throughout my professional career. Whether you’re a beginner, high school athlete, or college-level player, my goal is to help you train smarter, play faster, and 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!! 😊

Weve been working with Coach Chris since my son (who is now 12) began playing basketball a few years back, and the transformation has been incredible. What sets Chris apart is that hes an active athlete and ball player himselfhe brings a 'players mindset' to the court that you just don't get from a standard trainer.Chris doesnt just run a generalized program; he actually looks at the specific tools each kid has and helps them develop their own unique game. While he maintains a focus on basketball fundamentals and skill development, as they mature, he coaches situational play and nuanced technique. He also incorporates agility, speed, and plyometrics training.Chris can be tough when he needs to be, but his style is clear, direct, and calmhe just holds them accountable. (If your kid plays AAU, you get a lot of the 'yelling' types... he is definitely not one of them.) Through the trust Chris develops with the kids, he effectively coaches the mental aspects of the game. He helps them develop the right mindset, confidence, and discipline to handle pressure and stay focused. I'm very thankful for the role he's played in my son's development and highly recommend him!

Our family and team met Coach Chris about four years ago at a park. He came over and assisted me in coaching my daughters team without asking for anything in return. He saw kids that needed guidance in basketball and a father trying to coach them. I had been coaching them for two years prior to meeting coach Chris and I guess I really did nothing in those two years as they learned more and were more capable in three months with Coach Chris then they were in two years with me.Chris started running clinics with the kids one to two times a week and really focused on fundamentals, core values, hard work, discipline, and playing the game the right way (not like Luka!). The kids became accountable to one another, started communicating during games, taking practice seriously, and hitting their shots!Coach Chris was always very professional, on time, friendly, and loved by the kids. We always felt safe with Coach Chris around and so much so that my son asked that he run a practice during his 7th birthday party a few weeks ago. All the parents loved him and obviously so did the kids.Thank you Coach Chris for all you hard work and dedication!

Coach Chris has been an incredible trainer for my son over the past year. The improvement in his skills, confidence, and overall basketball IQ has been clear and consistent.He emphasizes strong fundamentals while also teaching players how to think the game - spacing, decision-making, and composure. His sessions are structured, purposeful, and always positive.Were truly grateful for his dedication and highly recommend him to any family looking for meaningful, long-term development.

Coach Chris Johnson is the very best coach my son has ever had and given how obsessed with sports my son is, weve Ive worked with countless coaches over my sons almost 14 years. Coach Chris has trained him not only in basketball and weight-lifting/calisthenic fitness, but mentally in leading with a strong, healthy, positive mind. Coach Chris himself is a highly discipled professional who ours the work into his own body and mind and has generously shared his years of training experience and what peak performance truly means as a human being and athlete. Coach Chris should have made the NBA but instead hes made a world of difference being my kids coach and the coach and trainer to many lucky kids and adults. Im looking forward to having Chris in our lives for years to come as hes truly been a gift and inspiration to our growing boy.
