L.A.B. University was built on a simple belief: great coaching transforms people, not just players. Justin is a family and community-oriented coach who thrives on collaboration and connection. His expertise in youth education — from Pre-K through 12th grade — combined with years of competitive playing experience gives him a unique ability to meet athletes exactly where they are and move them forward.
Now that his playing career has ended, Justin has honed in on teaching others how to become better basketball players — and through the game, better people as a whole.
Help players develop efficiency using their own unique style of play, while focusing on improving their basketball and life skills.
Establish a positive community using basketball as an engine, in order to help others build confidence in themselves to lead others.
