WHAT OUR ATHLETES SAY
MEET THE FOUNDER
KJ CONKLIN
My path to basketball training started in my senior year of high school. A mentor and former coach of mine called me and asked to train his daughter. This began an obsession and passion to research the best ways to help athletes succeed on and off the court.
After learning and cultivating my abilities as a trainer and coach I became a part of the Illinois State basketball program. My four years in Normal around high-level players and coaches were full of lessons on how to better serve athletes. After my time at Illinois State, I became a high school coach and trainer for one year before departing for Ruston, Louisiana, and becoming a Graduate Assistant for Louisiana Tech Men’s Basketball. Being a Graduate Assistant put me at the forefront of player development and being on the court with players. In that role player development became a day-to-day focus and opportunity for growth.
Helping our players grow through science-based training and researching the best methods became my primary focus. Seeing their growth after the work that they and we had put in was gratifying and ignited a passion in me to serve more athletes in the same capacity. Since Louisiana Tech I have spent the last two seasons as a junior college coach and have continued to work daily to perfect my craft as a player development coach.
Through my time of watching films, interning around other great trainers and players, and running my own workouts the value I can provide athletes has grown. The way that value has increased the most, however, is the methods and teaching I have adopted from researching the science of learning, psychology, and communication. These are all profound principles that many coaches and trainers abandon.
My years of experience in not only learning these principles but also practicing them has allowed me to use a unique science-based training approach to serve athletes ranging from youth level to NBA players. I am confident that no matter the level and age of the player I can help his or her game grow at an accelerated pace.
