MARCUS WATTS

Playing basketball was always two things to me: An escape and a way to achieve greatness. Every day I was driven to overcome the challenges of having less talent, speed, and ability than my peers. At times it made me doubt myself. Like being benched BY MY OWN FATHER. Watching my peers enjoy success, and praise I craved for.

This catapulted me to a massive explosion in high school where my senior year after ZERO offers, I would go on to play Div 1 on Scholarship.

After college, I was blessed to have a 5-year professional career with averages of 19 pts & 9 Rebs per game. After basketball I began opening gyms, and coaching & training over 1000 youth and adult clients in skills and strength & conditioning. Working with NBA, WNBA, NFL, MLB, FIFA soccer, and FIBA Basketball pros while sending over 60+ players to play on the college and professional level.

Currently, in Dallas, TX, i've formally with HSAA (Homeschool org), and Second 2 None (Adidas 3SGB & Junior 3SSB). I truly enjoy teaching, and the process of molding players to become the versions of themselves that they dream of.

Because I?ll NEVER forget what it felt like to be in their shoes.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Watts has attention to detail, teaching from the concept of fundamentals, and not skipping any steps. The bond that he forms with the players and the ability to understand each of their personalities as well as individual playing styles is amazing. The biggest thing I would say is he becomes their mentor, in life as well as basketball journeys! He?s also able to have the hard, honest conversations with players and parents which helps get to real development.

Dr. Anthony Jones

Parent of Athlete

Coach Marcus has a deep love and passion for the sport of basketball. He is meticulous and rigorous with his training, and he?s constantly pushing his athletes to be better both on and off of the court. He is a person that my son fully admires and respects. I am excited to watch his continued athletic growth under Coach Marcus? training.

Katrena Lopes

Parent of Athlete

Finally, a coach that is able to communicate with parents and athletes! My boys are able to ask questions during training to make sure they?re doing things correctly and fully understand drills and technique. Coach Watts is patient and takes time to explain and re-explain, if needed. As a parent, I appreciate this because I know my kids are learning and growing in a positive environment. I also appreciate Coach Watts? honesty. Sometimes it?s difficult to hear, but my kids and I always know where they stand, what they need to work on, and what needs to be done to move to the next level or get more playing time.
