Stationary
Handles, footwork, and shot form with no movement to hide behind. Clean, honest reps — dribbling through rhythm — until the movement is fluid.

The Foundation
Basketball has been part of my life from the beginning, shaped by my own playing experience and more than 25 years of mentorship.
My greatest basketball influences have been both my parents. They built the foundation for how I understood and approached the game. My father, Rick Campbell, was a Junior College All-American at Hiwassee, where he led the country in scoring before playing at Middle Tennessee State and becoming a 2 time All-OVC selection. He was later drafted by the Utah Jazz in 1982 after upsetting Kentucky in the NCAA Tourney. He later coached more than 25 DI players, including one NBA Draft pick, along with countless DII, DIII, NAIA and JUCO players.
My mother, Beverly Campbell, formerly Beverly McCowan, played Division I basketball at Oral Roberts. Both were two sport All-State athletes and later coached together in YBOA and AAU.
I was coached for 7 years by Tennessee All-American and 1987 Chicago Bulls draft pick Tony White, who helped mentor me throughout my career. I also played for 5-time State Champion Jody Wright and later for Cuonzo Martin and Donnie Tyndall at Tennessee, who have both coached teams to Sweet 16 appearances.

The system: Stationary → Movement → Live Action
Every session follows the same progression, so skills actually hold up in games — players build each skill in order, so it survives contact, pressure, and speed.

Movement
The same skills on the move: cuts, pivots, floaters, and shots off the dribble. If it only works standing still, it doesn’t work.
3
Live Action
Reads and decisions against real pressure at game speed — when to attack, pull up, or move the ball. This is where confidence gets built.

About Me
An All-State performer in high school, I went on to play NCAA Division I basketball at the University of Tennessee, where I earned a full athletic scholarship after joining as an invited walk-on. I was also a Vol Scholar and trained alongside NBA and international professional players.
I now coach youth basketball and specialize in player development. I teach fundamentals, basketball IQ and game skills while building confidence and discipline. My goal is to help every player understand the game and grow as a player and leader.
What Students Say
5.0 ★ (14 ratings)Jordan
7 lessons
★★★★★
Working with Coach G has really helped me improve my game. We started with baby steps by learning the footwork first, then practicing the movements without the ball. From there, we added stationary ball handling, movement with the ball, and eventually used those same moves to create shots. We worked on advanced moves inspired by players like James Harden, and I liked how everything built on what I learned before. The workouts helped me understand not just how to do a move, but how to use it in a real game.

I loved how technical Coach G was with developing the offensive moves he was teaching me. He literally starts at A and brings you to Z with the movement of your feet body and ball and bringing it all together.

Coach G helped me with fixing my shot and having the correct form to shoot the ball and following through. He also taught me the fundamentals of dribbling the basketball with my fingertips.
