Taj Adams
PGC BASKETBALL DIRECTOR
If you know Coach T, you know that he’s bringing enough energy for the whole gym! Taj was first introduced to PGC as an Observing Coach during his young coaching career at King’s Christian Collegiate. He soon joined PGC’s team as a Basket Instructor dedicated to learn and teach the game to athletes from all around the world.
Taj was told he was too small his whole career but he learned that all the size went to his heart. He knew if he wanted to make any team, he would have to outwork everyone ten fold. It took a lot of perseverance through adversity but by his senior year he was named Team Captain, was a 2x All-Tournament Team Player, 1x HSSAA Champion, and 2x OCSAA medalist. He finished all 4 years at King’s Christian Collegiate.
You would think the first thing Taj picked up as a baby would’ve been a ball, but surprisingly it was a pair of track spikes. Ending his ‘Track Star’ career as a 3x Provincial Medalist, 5x HSSAA Champion, 14x OCSAA Medalist, 1x Team Ontario Long Jumper, 1x OFSAA Finalist and Team Captain for varsity all 4 years of high school.
Now continuing his career at his Alma Mater as a Head/Assistant Coach for Basketball and Head Coach for Track and Field, Taj finds a huge portion of his happiness coming from giving back. This is a huge reason why he is grateful for the guidance from his mother and coach, Amorel Adams. He has become a passionate, altruistic and energetic leader who still loves to be a student while teaching the game.

What They’re Saying About Taj Adams
"We were super excited to attend PGP as an athlete and me as an observing coach. I watched Aubrey struggle at first and to see her push through and work hard and keep her joy while getting the footwork, principles, and new skills she learned. We loved our first PGC experience with Marke Freeman at Shooting College last fall. This camp with Coach Taj and his supporting coaches exceeded our expectations. We left even more excited than when we were headed to PGP. Aubrey's confidence grew, she was setting goals for the next day of camp, and studying each night. She loved the classroom sessions as much as the court time. How can you not when you have such a wonderful leader in Coach Taj. He was everything that I read the PGC organization was about. I am so grateful I discoverd PGC for Aubrey and I. I am confident it is the missing factor to helping Aubrey get to where she wants to be and can be on and off the court. THANK YOU!"
