TESTIMONIALS
Rocco Awad
Working with KNBasketballServices has helped me grow tremendously, not only as a basketball player but also as a person. Through their coaching, I’ve developed greater confidence, discipline, and a stronger work ethic both on and off the court. The emphasis on consistency, attention to detail, and pushing beyond my comfort zone has helped me reach new levels in my development. I’m grateful for the guidance, support, and commitment to excellence that KNBasketballServices brings to every session.

Working with Kevin over the past five months has completely transformed my basketball game. His focus on shiftiness and ball-handling skills has been a game-changer, with drills like cone work and zig-zag dribbling improving my control and agility. Kevin didn’t just run drills; he helped me understand the game, teaching me to read defenses and make smarter plays. Tailored shooting drills enhanced my accuracy, and his positive reinforcement boosted my confidence, raising my scoring from 3 to nearly 14 points per game!

“Coach Kevin is much more than a basketball trainer he is a mentor who helped transform my game and mindset. When I started working with him, I was averaging just 2 points per game and looking for a bigger role on the court. Through his training, I developed the strength, skills, and confidence needed to expand my impact as a player.
Kevin's experience at every level of basketball and his firsthand knowledge of competing against NBA-level talent set him apart from other trainers. Under his guidance, I improved from 2 PPG to 16 PPG as a ranked athlete, added 15 pounds of muscle, and evolved into a versatile wing player. The growth I experienced ultimately helped me earn both an academic and basketball scholarship to Western University, where I contributed to one of the top U SPORTS programs in Canada.
The results speak for themselves, and I credit Coach Kevin for playing a major role in helping me reach the next level both on and off the court.”
Athlete Development & Placement Success
Over the past two years, I have successfully helped place 10 student-athletes at the NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, and U SPORTS levels. My coaching philosophy focuses on skill development, basketball IQ, character, and creating pathways for athletes to reach their academic and athletic goals.
I have had the privilege of working with athletes who have gone on to compete at high levels, including players such as Rocco Awad and others who have advanced their careers through dedication, development, and the right opportunities.
Testimonials from athletes and families reflect the commitment, mentorship, and personalized support provided throughout the recruiting and development process. My goal is not only to help athletes improve on the court but to guide them toward long-term success in basketball and beyond.

I highly recommend Coach Kevin to anyone seeking to elevate their basketball skills. Under his guidance, my son’s game has improved significantly in a short time. Kevin’s personalized approach, attention to detail, and ability to motivate are exceptional. He focuses on shooting, ball-handling, and game strategy while creating a positive, supportive environment. His sessions are well-structured, tailored, and inspiring, building both skills and confidence. Kevin’s dedication makes him an outstanding coach!

Kevin has had a profound impact on both my basketball career and my career as a performance coach. I initially started training with him during the off-season of 2021, after he had played professionally overseas. He introduced me to his agent, Antonio Iliev, who secured my first basketball contract overseas. Before my first season abroad, Kevin meticulously planned various skills sessions and workouts on the court, preparing me both physically and mentally.
Following my second season overseas, Antonio helped me secure my first job as a strength coach for a professional basketball team in Bulgaria. This experience paved the way for my current role as an Athletic Performance Coach with the OKC Thunder.
My journey as a player and performance coach would have been vastly different without Kevin. His extensive experience, expertise, connections, and passion for the game make him an invaluable asset to any player striving for success.
