"Steve started working with X when he was 12 and they embarked on an amazing journey. Steve has been a solid trainer and mentor for Xavier for the past 4 years. He has helped to shape his game and build confidence in him as he continues to elevate. Steve's attention to detail and understanding helps create a quality training session everytime X steps into the gym with him. Steve's continuous support has truly been a blessing. We look forward to continuing this journey with him."

"Coach Steve has been extremely helpful as we navigate our move to LA. He has helped us to understand better the LA basketball landscape and provide good perspective. He arranged to meet us there in person, introduced us to key people as we toured schools and facilitated good follow-up conversations. Coach Steve continues to be a support and will be an important part of our US journey this year."

In my 24 years as a collegiate coach, I have been blessed to work with many great leaders. Steven Bennett stands alone as the most dynamic leader I have ever coached. His energy, communication skills, empathy and ability to galvanize a group towards a common mission were unmatched as a collegiate athlete. It is awesome to now see him share his gifts in the arena of coaching, training and player development. He is an elite teacher of the game but his story, mission and teaching will always be bigger than basketball."

RICK CROY

HEAD COACH CAL BAPTIST UNIVERSITY

"Steven has been through a lot in his life, but has always remained steady in his pursuit to accomplish his goals. His upbringing has made him a very dynamic leader and has gifted him the knowledge that it takes to lead young people. His playing career has given him valuable tools to help him win in the classroom and on the court. Steven is creating brighter futures for up and coming youth."

COACH CHRIS ACKER

Thank you Coach Steve!"
