On the court…

Being in the gym with Coach Gorrilla is more than a skill building opportunity, it’s about increasing players confidence, self esteem, and overall athleticism to be who they strive to be in life.

As a former student athlete and teacher, Coach Gorrilla has worked with players from all over. His experience with those picking up a basketball for the first time to coaching elite high school and collegiate athletes in the provides him with a hard to come by approach that truly connects with all players.

THE DETAILS

Players will learn progressions for ball handling, footwork, finishing, and shooting. They’ll not only improve when we’re together, but will know how to train, be self motivated, and disciplined when they’re by themselves. Outside of basketball related skills, Coach Gorrilla provides exercises and knowledge in physical strength, balance, and explosiveness in becoming a better athlete. All essential to not only grow as a player and athlete, but as an all-around person.

HIS STORY: COACH GORRILLA

Thomas began his career as a basketball coach in 2015. As a sophomore in college at the University of St. Thomas (St. Paul, MN), he saw an opportunity to become a Head Coach for the Varsity 8th grade boys team at St. Mark’s Catholic School just blocks from campus. After that first night of practice, he knew that coaching and helping athletes be the best they can be was his dream. The following year, he began training players from his team in the off-season, and soon took on his first collegiate player, a childhood family friend.

In 2017, Thomas graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a degree in Health Promotion, and officially launched his training business that combined his passion of basketball skill development, performance training, and performance psychology. Since he began, he has now worked with hundreds of players ranging from 6 year olds to collegiate players in his hometown of Minneapolis, and surrounding areas.

Coach Gorrilla’s philosophy is rooted in positive relationships with athletes, teaching not only the intricate details of the game but one’s own mindset on the court and in life. His mission is to give those he works with, the tools to be a confident, fearless, and selfless individual so they can take on and achieve anything they set their mind to.
