MEET THE FOUNDER
COACH JOSH
Coach Josh was born and raised right here in Rockville, Maryland. But his journey took him around the world and inside multiple NBA team facilities, gaining experience that few coaches can claim. For over a decade, Coach Josh worked directly with Jeremy Lin as his personal player development and strength and conditioning coach during Jeremys NBA career. This wasnt just courtside observation, it was hands on work developing and maintaining an elite professional athlete through the demands of an NBA season.
Coach Josh also coached professionally in the Chinese Basketball Association, experiencing firsthand what it takes to compete and develop players at the professional level. Hes trained athletes from high school all the way to the professional ranks, understanding the specific demands and development needed at each stage. Now, hes brought all that knowledge and experience back home to Rockville, Maryland
OUR APPROACH
DEVELOPING ADAPTABLE PROBLEM SOLVERS
Coach Josh focuses on developing adaptable problem solvers on the court by designing training that reflects the real challenges and decisions of the game. His approach comes from years of helping athletes at every level learn how to actually play the game rather than rely on predetermined moves. Each session includes real parts of the game including live defense, pressure situations, and fatigue so players learn to read the floor and solve problems in real time.
The training methods are based on current skill acquisition research, which means everything translates directly to performance on the court. This isnt about looking good in drills. Its about performing when the game is on the line, when youre tired, when the defense adjusts, when you need to make the right read. Thats what Awaken Training prepares you for.
OUR MISSION
TRAINING THAT TRULY TRANSFERS
Our purpose is to design training that truly transfers so players perform, adapt, and solve problems on the court. Too many athletes train in controlled environments that dont prepare them for the chaos and decision making of real competition. At Awaken Training, we bridge that gap. Every drill, every rep, every session is designed with one question in mind will this help them perform better in an actual game? If the answer isnt yes, we dont do it.
This commitment to transfer has been proven at the NBA level and refined through 15 years of coaching experience. Now its available to serious basketball players in Rockville and throughout the DMV who are ready to train with purpose and see real results on the court.
