Julian (Coach JuJu) Wright, ADAPT Sports & Fitness

As a former professional basketball player with 15 years of experience, including four years in the NBA and 10 years playing internationally, I made the decision to transition to the private sector to share my knowledge and skills. My goal is to democratize pro-level coaching and provide service to youth players of all genders, aged two and up.

While adults are welcome to train, the price points may indicate that adult clients have played at a high school level or higher. My philosophy is to help players adapt to multiple styles of play and positions, giving them an advantage in maximizing their playing time and keeping their opponents guessing.

Having played all positions except shooting guard allows me to offer unique perspectives and mentor players on how to be a "position-less" player. I played for the University of Kansas and was a McDonald's All-American and NBA draft pick, playing alongside Chris Paul for three years and later with DeMar DeRozan.

As a testament to my commitment to excellence, I've been trained by the best sport performance coaches in the world, and am currently in the process of obtaining certifications for strength and conditioning and group fitness classes.

While elite skill work with me is above standard, my passion lies in helping clients with sport psychology, keeping them motivated, and challenging them to push through physical and mental barriers. I take a personal approach, working with a set number of clients for private and semi-private lessons to offer the support they need on and off the court.

If you're interested in training like a pro by a pro, let's connect for a trial lesson or package to see if we're a good fit. As a token of my appreciation, if we decide to commit long-term, you'll be grandfathered into my lowest rates.
