    Jamon Copeland

    PGC BASKETBALL DIRECTOR

    As a coach and business executive for over 25 years I can say that PGC is at the edge of technology in understanding and teaching both the physical and mental aspects of the game of basketball. I want to pass on a super thanks to Jamon for encouraging her to attend PGC’s Athlete Performance College. By personally reaching out to her, Victoria felt very special and important. Jamon and his staff did and incredible job and have had a very positive impact on my daughter’s growth as a basketball player and more importantly as a leader on and off the court. The last few weeks Victoria has had by far the best performances of her career, both on the offensive and defensive end of the court. We just signed Victoria up for PGC Essentials this summer and look forward to her continued growth as a fundamentally strong player and leader.
