Former Professional International Basketball Player & Fitness Tra

Matthew O.

Hi, my name is Matthew. I am 6'7 tall and I weigh 250lbs. I began playing basketball my freshman year of high school. I was very inexperienced when I began. Through consistent hardwork, focus, and my ability to apply what I learned; I quickly rose to become a starting captain on my Varsity team. By the end of my high school career I led Orange County in field goal percentage , blocks, and rebounds. This led me to receive a full athletic scholarship for basketball at UC Irvine. Currently my jersey is retired at my high school.

In college I was a 2 year starter. I was awarded Most Improved Player and Defensive Player of the year. I was able to help lead our team to be 1st place in the Big West Conference two years in a row.

Professionally, I played in South America in the country of Uruguay. I played professionally in the ABA (American Basketball Association) and the IBL (International Basketball League). I have played alongside and against players such as Matt Barnes (former NBA champ), Jason Kapono (former NBA 3 point champ & NBA champ), Tyson Chandler (former NBA champ), and Josh Childress. Also, I have played with players such as Laymond Murray and Brian Russell.

I love teaching the game of basketball to people who are serious about learning. I have a very high basketball IQ along with experience at the high school, college, and Pro levels. I have experience working with players as young as 6 years old to players who are in between pro contracts.

Please contact me. I can help you enhance your basketball game. I will help you develop the insight, skills, and tools that will give you the competing edge over others and move your basketball game to the next level.
