About
Hi there, I go by Telik Smith and I am a NASM certified Personal Trainer and Basketball Skills Trainer who caters to individuals of all ages and levels of expertise. You can find me conducting lessons at my private gym and basketball court in my apartment and I am also available for travel if that suits you better.

As a Basketball Skills Trainer, my background speaks for itself. Having competed in basketball for 15 years, I have honed my skills working with children and adults of varied skill levels as a basketball trainer/coach at Pro Club in Seattle for a year, and as a trainer/coach for advanced high school players at Santa Monica Basketball Academy for less than a year. I also played for Garfield High School and ECBA's select basketball team in Seattle. I offer anything from basic to nuanced techniques that can be applied in-game situations. You can expect bespoke pointers, drills, and exercises to ramp up your game and take you to the next level.

As a Personal Trainer, I am well-versed in strength training, cardio, and nutrition. With two years of experience in training and a decade of fitness under my belt, I took bonus classes at the University of Washington to become knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness. If you're up for incorporating boxing into your cardio routine, I am your go-to guy. Together, we will come up with a long-term plan to help you achieve your fitness objectives. My priority is to provide you with enjoyable and effective exercises that will mobilize and develop your body to achieve those goals, whether muscle gain, weight loss, or athletic performance.

You can find me on Instagram at @telik.smith, or catch me on Youtube and Tiktok, both under the moniker @teliksmith.

I learned a lot about basketball from Telik! Initially being a complete novice, Telik introduced me to all the fundamentals that were required to hone my skills. Now, I am highly self-assured about my abilities in basketball.

Telik is an exceptional basketball coach whom I regularly seek for guidance on the fundamentals of the sport. My recent practice sessions have surprisingly improved my skills to confidently shoot, dribble, and pass the ball. I highly commend Telik for his extensive knowledge, encouragement, and his ability to make basketball training an enjoyable experience!
