I’ve been working with Kamil for a couple of months and love how everything we do is game-specific. Each session is tailored to my role, breaking down reads and actions that directly translate to real games. The training has had a huge impact on my performance, both physically and mentally. We work on strengths, weaknesses, IQ, and performance anxiety, making it perfect for in-season and off-season. Highly recommend.
Kormakur
I’ve trained with coaches across different levels and continents, and working one-on-one with Kamil has been one of the most impactful experiences of my basketball journey. His approach is incredibly thoughtful — the drills are unique, purposeful, and pushed my development in ways I hadn’t experienced before. Beyond being an excellent skills coach, Kamil is intelligent, dedicated, and genuinely committed to helping players improve.

Kamil is for sure one of my most favourite personal trainers. He is really great at breaking things down, and he lets me know in detail what I can improve on.
I trained with him over the summer, and I can proudly say I have improved on my basketball skill set. I would 100% recommend him, for keen, hardworking learners.
Josiah Philips
Kamil is a great mentor. I’ve been coached by many, at the highest levels of basketball, and coach Kamil is definitely one of my greatest mentors.
Not only has he helped ameliorate my physical game, but he has helped me to see basketball in a different light by helping me master the emotional side of it.
Tay Kabs
Kamil is very patient and teaches you no matter what level you are at. I didn't know anything about basketball when I started training and now I love the sport and have improved so much! He has got me ready for my celebrity charity game
Andrew Garfield
I love training with Kamil. He lives and breathes basketball. It's all he seems to think about. Even after one session my fundamentals improved, my shot was more consistent and things started to click in a new way.
He takes real pride in his students and their growth as players. He has great attention to detail and teaches with a sense of passion and joy and true expertise. I love this game and Kamil's teaching is making me somehow love it even more.
