About Coach Rob

My love of basketball began when I was a young child growing up in the inner city of Chicago, where I was exposed to hard work and dedication. During this time, I developed the skills and knowledge for basketball. My commitment as a high school athlete earned me a scholarship to play at Trinity International University. During my collegiate career, I discovered my passion for teaching, coaching, and guiding athletes to their highest potential. During the last 12 years, I’ve been fortunate to hold various positions in the local basketball community which range from directing youth feeder programs, coaching AAU teams, and hosting basketball skills training in the Northern Suburbs of Chicago. Two of the main accomplishments that I am proud of are my ability to share my gift of basketball IQ and successfully hosting hand selected small group training sessions.
