ABOUT COACH Q
Does your hooper want to play the game of basketball? Find a local gym or league.
Do you want your hooper to LEARN the game of basketball, UNDERSTAND what it takes to be successful on the court, and uncover their GREATNESS both on and off the court? Turn to basketball coach and trainer Coach Q!
From North Philly to Los Angeles, Coach Q was born to inspire and teach the game of basketball. Although his journey wasn’t a straight shot from playing ball in high school to heading The Hoop Lord Hoop Clinic, all of his experiences led him to this point: to help young hoopers shine as confident competitors in a unique basketball training program. His years as an actor, artist, and barber have instilled lessons in him that all contribute to his leadership role as trainer and coach.
In fact, The Clinic didn’t develop based solely on Coach Q’s own love for the game — it was his young son’s unique shooting ability and ball-handling skills that motivated him to create a space where the youth can truly become hoopers. So over time, since its inception in November 2021, The Clinic has remained a family-oriented, multicultural community. His wife, Elana, is the general manager and the videographer for all of The Clinic’s social media content, while his son Qeshaun (aka, “Hoop Lord Jr”) takes part in every Sunday training session with hoopers.
Coach Q believes that discipline (“stay ready so you don’t have to get ready”), focus, accountability, and fun are key ingredients in the game of basketball — and LIFE.
