Sam King

Sam King, a Northeast Ohio native, graduated from Brookfield High School in 2005 where he was inducted into the school’s prestigious Athletic Hall of Fame for his basketball accomplishments in 2022. Sam’s college basketball career (2006 – 2010) was played at The University of Mount Union where he was the starting Point Guard all four years. He also led the team in minutes played and assists all four years, and was Team Captain his Junior and Senior year.

As a Basketball Skills Coach/Trainer, Sam has experience working with all skill levels – from beginner to professional. Whether you are looking to learn the fundamentals of basketball or raise your game to the next level, Sam takes pride in having the ability to identify what a player’s needs are, and then develop a game plan to ensure their goals as a basketball player are accomplished.

“Basketball is a beautiful game. Not only is it fun, but it has the potential to instill great human qualities into the person who chooses to pursue it. My strong belief is that it’s the responsibility of the coach/trainer to create an environment and connect with their players in a way that helps elicit these qualities – Passion, Discipline, Creativity, Leadership, Humility, Courage, Integrity, Great Communication, Optimism, Teamwork, Respect, Patience… and the list goes on. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Every player I interact with, I want to give them the opportunity to see this game how I see it, love it how I love it.”
