Sam Allen
PGC BASKETBALL DIRECTOR
Sam Allen is a first class teacher of the game. It is his blue collar work ethic that sets him apart and makes him special. I bring him in to work with my college team because of the knowledge, passion and energy that he brings to the gym for every session. He knows what it takes for players to get to the next level both physically and mentally. Whether I am serious basketball player looking to improve or a coach looking to advance my team, I can’t think of anyone better then Coach Allen to get you there.
Coach TJ Rosene, Emmanuel College, 2009 NCCAA National Champion and National Coach of the Year
An All-Conference player at Reinhardt University with over 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists, and a record 125 consecutive games started, Sam Allen led his school to their first ever National Tournament appearance. Sam has 8 years college coaching experience and runs Blue Collar Basketball, a player development training organization. Through directing PGC sessions, and mentoring coaches at PGC Coaching, and co-hosting the Hardwood Hustle podcast, Sam continues to transform the way the game is taught and played.
I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for the impact that PGC had on my game and on my attitude.
