"Our family has had the pleasure of knowing Aaron for the last several years, as he has been instrumental in the basketball training and coaching of both of our sons. Aaron has a comprehensive coaching style -- he is thorough, knowledgeable, well-prepared, and extremely responsive. Given his background, players benefit from his university and pro-level insights, which are reflected in his training drills. He has the perfect balance of personality and patience to help each individual child develop at the right pace, given skill level, talent and ambition. Both of our boys developed their basketball skills with Aaron's mentorship and coaching within the rep program at Oakville Basketball Club and through his small group skills-acceleration program, Purpose-Driven Mentality. The work they did with Coach Aaron played a significant part in their skills improvement and basketball success."

"The training that my son receives with Aaron Redpath and PDM Basketball is an opportunity that should be experienced by all aspiring young basketball players. As a parent, coach, former player, and active follower of competitive youth basketball in the GTA, I am very confident that Coach Aaron provides a unique training opportunity that is engaging and efficient for young athletes. Coach Aaron can identify and develop any aspect of a player’s game, including often overlooked game situation skills and decision making that is fundamental to basketball success but not easily taught or achieved. Coach Aaron brings professionalism, respect, intellect and a great rapport with kids to training every day. All players, at any level, should jump at the opportunity to work with and learn from Coach Aaron."

People are able to realize their potential in whatever they do with deliberate practice, intentional technique training and the development of the mind through knowledge as well as experience. I would recommend Aaron to anyone who wants to learn the physical, mental, and tactical components to the game of basketball from a guy who understands the process of growth and development. He not only played professionally but impacted winning at that level by applying the same lessons he is now sharing with the Nucleus team.

As a basketball parent who has had the privilege of knowing Aaron in both rep team and individual development settings, I have observed many times his unusual ability to connect: to the child, to the parent, to coaches, to volunteers and innovators alike in the sports community. Moreover, Aaron is able to inspire those around him to connect to the potential of possibility – a bigger vision of what can be unlocked through the combination of dedication, technique, hard work and thoughtful development. I have every confidence that Aaron will bring that same vision to Nucleus Sports Group’s mission of unifying the landscape of youth sports and development.

”Having Coach Aaron both as a Rep basketball coach and a trainer at the PDM skills lab has been an incredible experience for my child and myself. His passion for coaching and desire to see every player reach their full potential is unparalleled. His expertise as a highly skilled ex-pro basketball player combined with his deep investment in each child’s success has resulted in noticeable improvement in my child‘s skills and confidence on and off the court. Aaron is gifted in effectively explaining things to players and provides great analogies when teaching sophisticated basketball concepts. Coach Aaron truly cares about the growth, development and safety of each player and we are grateful to have him as a coach and mentor. “
