Meet Coach Price
Coach Price is a varsity boys basketball coach at Dakota Ridge High School in Littleton, Colorado. In addition to coaching, he is a middle school social studies teacher in Jefferson County, where he is passionate about working with and developing young people both in the classroom and on the basketball court.
His coaching career began at Ponderosa High School in Parker, Colorado, where he had the opportunity to learn under one of his great mentors, Max Schuman. He later joined the Dakota Ridge Eagles basketball program as a varsity assistant under successful head coach Sean Kovar. This opportunity was especially meaningful to him, as Coach Kovar was part of the Dakota Ridge basketball program during his own time there as a student.
For more than six years, he has provided private and group basketball training to athletes of various skill levels. His training journey began in Wilmington, North Carolina, and has continued through his work with players committed to improving their game and reaching the next level.
Throughout his coaching and training career, he has helped student-athletes establish connections with college coaches, pursue opportunities to play at the collegiate level, and accomplish personal goals ranging from earning a spot on their high school team to becoming more confident and complete basketball players.
His training philosophy is centered on intense, detailed, and game-realistic skill development. Every workout is designed with purpose, emphasizing skills, decision-making, and habits that translate directly to today's game. His goal is not simply to put athletes through drills—it is to help players understand the game, build confidence, and develop the tools necessary to compete at their highest level.
