About Shaun
I’m Coach Shaun Gerardo, a Los Angeles basketball development coach with 20 years of coaching experience and a background that combines player development, performance training, nutrition and competitive basketball.
My work in youth basketball development has been recognized by The New York Times, and I was named Athletes Untapped’s 2025 Coach of the Year. I’m also a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Performance Enhancement Specialist and Certified Nutrition Coach.
Over the years, I’ve worked with athletes ranging from beginners and developing youth players to high-school, collegiate and semi-professional players, while also conducting workouts alongside former NBA and WNBA players. My own playing background includes competing at the semi-professional level.
Most recently, my work has expanded into developing and coaching some of Southern California’s emerging young talent, including players such as Honor Tyler, Sterling Green, Gabe Hoshide, Isaiah Newburn, Damauri Cosby, Samuel Acosta and others competing on high-level regional and national circuits.
My specialty is PLAYER DEVELOPMENT—not simply running drills.
I teach shooting mechanics, footwork, finishing, ball handling, passing, decision-making, defense, strength and conditioning, nutrition and mental performance. I want players to understand what they’re doing, why it works and how to execute it when they're under pressure in an actual game.
My philosophy is built around “Encouraging Pressure”: challenging athletes enough to develop confidence, discipline and resilience while giving them the guidance and support they need to succeed.
Players don’t always need to try harder.
Sometimes they need to be guided better.
That’s what I do.

Coach Shaun is truly elite. Since training with him, my skills have improved so dramatically that I was invited back to a Pangos Camp by Mr. Trigonis himself and have received invitations to several college camps.
Whenever I play, people tell me I play with heart and respect—values Coach Shaun instilled in me from day one. When I first started, I was hesitant to even touch the ball and lacked maturity, but thanks to him, I’ve grown up and can handle the ball with total confidence.
Coach Shaun’s dedication goes far beyond the court. He has helped me earn spots on reputable AAU teams with coaches he trusts, introduced me to his other students so we could learn by playing together, and always leads with an awesome, kind heart. He is the greatest coach you will ever meet, and the only reason my basketball skills are where they are today.I’ve known Coach Shaun for five years, and I can confidently say he is one of the best basketball coaches I’ve been around. What separates Shaun is that he coaches character first while never sacrificing the details of the game. He genuinely cares about every athlete he works with and has an incredible ability to see what a player needs, meet them where they are, and give them the knowledge and confidence to reach another level. I’m a basketball coach myself, but I consider Shaun a mentor because I truly believe coaches need coaches too. His knowledge of the game is second to none, and I’m constantly learning from the way he teaches, communicates, and develops players.
One of my favorite experiences with Shaun was having him work with my own basketball team—something I don’t take lightly because of how much my players mean to me. In just one session, I watched him elevate my athletes while also helping me see new ways I could guide and coach them myself. That’s the kind of impact Shaun has. He doesn’t just make players better, he makes the people around him better. I trust him with my athletes, I value him as a mentor, and I would recommend Coach Shaun to any player or family looking for someone who will develop not only a better basketball player, but a better person.

Boys/Girls Basketball, Flag Football, Track CoachMy son Conor has been training with Coach Shaun for almost one year now, and his progress during that time has been undeniable. Coach Shaun has helped him get stronger not only physically with the careful regimen he caters to Conor, but has helped his confidence grow stronger with each session they work together.
Shaun is an outstanding coach. He knows how to develop players and get the best out of them. His team setting and high basketball IQ makes him an elite coach
Shaun is loyal, smart, respectful and a stand up guy. We need more Shaun’s in our life. He’s great with kids and listens. A great role model .
Coach Shaun helped my son focus better on the basketball court and this trickled into his school as well. He is very knowledgable and even showed up to one of Steven's games. Thank you.
Coach Shaun is a passionate teacher of the game and he helped me up my PPG by 5+, using detailed footwork. I also got off sugar!
