MEET OUR COACHES

At 818 Starz, we believe in developing players who excel both on and off the field by living our core values. Character First: we do the right thing—always—holding ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, respect, and humility. Accountability drives us to own our actions and results, showing up prepared, coachable, and committed. Discipline is the foundation of champions, built through consistent habits in both academics and athletics. We embody Grit, tackling hard things and thriving under pressure. As a Team-First program, we value unselfish play, clear communication, and trust to create a competitive edge. With a Growth Mindset, we aim to get 1% better every day by seeking feedback, learning fast, and improving faster. Our focus on Fundamentals—from footwork and stickwork to IQ and film study—sets our foundation and raises our ceiling. We demand Relentless Effort, controlling energy, attitude, and hustle in every drill and every rep. Leadership is about leading yourself and lifting others, as every player sets the tone for our program and community. Finally, we embrace the Scholar-Athlete mentality, striving for excellence in the classroom because real success lasts long after the final whistle.
