Coach Brad Kohler – Founder & Head Coach

Basketball has always been a part of who I am. I grew up playing through high school and college, and the game runs deep in my family — with nephews competing at Michigan State, SLCC AND MORE YOUNG ONES ON THE RISE.

When injuries cut my playing career short, I channeled that same passion into fitness and performance, eventually opening a CrossFit gym and spending years coaching everything from Olympic weightlifting to speed, agility, and strength development.

But my true purpose became clear after I found Jesus. That moment changed everything — it lit a fire in me to serve the next generation, to guide young people through the chaos of today’s world, and to help them become strong in every sense of the word.

Now, I’ve brought all my passions together. Through this program, I coach young athletes not only in the game I love but in how to train, fuel, and care for their bodies the right way. My mission is to develop complete athletes — strong, skilled, and resilient — while also building up character, confidence, and a foundation that lasts far beyond the court.

This is more than basketball. It’s about building better athletes, and even better humans.
