BeGreat basketball is truly an amazing program, to its individual training and to its tournaments they set up. You get to train or play against some of the best players around the area. Right when I first got there the coaches were very friendly and personable. I personally have grown in areas like footwork and finishing. BegrEAT basketball is a great place to train if you want to have a good time or go play at the next level.

University of Denver - Summit League Player of the Year

Carson Johnson

I first started working with JT during my freshman season at MSUM. I was redshirting this year and was able to workout with him every day. With all of his workouts, I felt my skill set expanding and I had a better understanding of what it took to be a college point guard. The training that I was doing with JT transitioned so much to the game that when I had my redshirt pulled in the middle of the season, I was ready to go. All of this hard work with him allowed me to not only adapt to the college level, but have a very successful season. I learned so much from JT, and the constant time in the gym together led me to transferring to the Division I level and having a Player of the Year season in the Summit League. None of this is possible without the tools that I gained from JT during my freshman year.

From The Coaches/Parents

Judd Walter (SE-St Mary's Boys Head Coach)

BeGreat Basketball has been an absolute game-changer for my sons. The level of training they provide is truly elite - a perfect combination of technical skill development, basketball IQ, and personal growth. Each session is well-structured, high energy, and tailored to push young athletes to their full potential. The trainers are not only incredibly knowledgable but also genuinely invested in the success of each player.

Jake Schrom

We can't say enough good things about BeGreat Basketball. Our boys train with Isaac, and he does an incredible job working with all skill levels. They genuinely look forward to every session and have improved so much through his training.

Heather Anderson (All American at MSU)

Malik has been an incredible basketball trainer for my 9-year-old daughter. From the very first training session, he created a positive and engaging environment that made her feel confident and excited to learn. He has a great way of connecting with young athletes - balancing fun with focused skill development. I can't say enough positive things about Karson and Isaac and the incredible impact they've had on my 11-year-old son. They have not only helped him tremendously with his basketball skill development, but more importantly, they've been true mentors to him - on and off the court.

Mitch Lewis (New Ulm Public Girls Head Coach)

High level training can be a grind but with Isaac and the other trainers at BeGreat there has always been the anticipation of "When is my next workout" I have noticed not only skill development and decision making improvements but the added confidence both Brooklyn and Rex are playing with is a testament of what is really happening at these workouts.

Renae Danberry

We’ve seen a remarkable difference in our boys since joining BeGreat training. As Parents, it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch their growth – not just in their skills, but in their confidence and overall mindset. The programs’s focus on proper fundamentals, consistency, and intentional development has truly elevated their game. Isaac and his team create an environment that is encouraging, basketball-driven and focused, while still keeping it fun and engaging for the boys. It’s clear they care not only about development, but also fostering and maintaining a love for the Game. It’s not just about working hard – it’s about working the right way through consistent, high-quality training, our boys have developed a stronger basketball IQ, greater discipline, and a deeper understanding of the game they love so much. This program and its leaders are a true example of what’s possible when training is done right and committed to over time.

Jerhod Smithback

BeGreat is a game changer for basketball and life! We have seen an incredible transformation in our two sons on and off the court as they worked with Isaac and Karson for the past year. Our sons have significantly increased their self confidence and skill sets, fueling their desire to outwork the competition. The BeGreat focus on skill work progression applied to in-game situational reads unlocks next level results. The hours of driveway basketball at home have become extensions of lessons in footwork, pace, handling and scoring. Isaac and Karson bring passion and energy creating a positive environment for student athletes to succeed. We are so grateful our children have them as role models and influences helping them to achieve their goals.

Minnesota Rise Girls Director, Ryan Hulke

Isaac excels at building rapport with players through his high energy and basketball knowledge. He effectively delivers age-appropriate instruction on in-game skills; specifically, his focus on change of pace, and small-sided games translates to live competition on the basketball court.

Christy Bode

Since January 2025, my three sons (ages 10, 13, and 16 at the time we started) have trained consistently with Isaac, and the growth we've seen - in skill, effort, and especially confidence - has been remarkable. He has an incredible gift for connecting with young athletes and bringing out their best, both on and off the court. Isaac is more than a trainer; he's a mentor and a difference-maker in my boys' lives.
