THE LEHIGH VALLEY'S HIGHEST-RATED
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
HEY, I'M CHRISTOPHER MORAN!
I’m a basketball skills development trainer working with athletes at every level — youth, middle school, high school, collegiate, and professional.
Based in the Lehigh Valley, I graduated from Delaware Valley University in 2016, where I was a member of the men’s basketball team. During my college career, I became a 1,000-point scorer, earned multiple team and individual awards, including two conference championships, Player of the Year honors, and All-American recognition. After graduation, I continued my playing career professionally in Mexico’s Libassur League with the Garrobos de Minatitlán.
From a young age, my parents instilled in me an “actions over words” mentality, a principle that fueled my journey through every level of basketball.
The game has always been more than just basketball for me. It’s where I learned discipline, resilience, and leadership — lessons I now aim to pass on to every athlete I train.

Why Our Programs Matter
Accountability
We hold ourselves and our athletes to high standards—on and off the court. Every drill, rep, and decision is an opportunity to show commitment and follow through. Success starts with owning your effort.
Basketball IQ
We teach players to see the game, not just play it. From reading defenses to making the right pass at the right time, our training builds smarter athletes who make winning decisions.
Confidence
We help athletes trust their skills, take ownership of their effort, and perform at their best under pressure—building confidence that carries on and off the court.
Details
Championship habits are built in the small things. From footwork to follow-through, we focus on precision so that the fundamentals become second nature in high-pressure situations.
