We had the good fortune of connecting with Scott Nicholson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Scott, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
When I was playing basketball I was a bench warmer in high school and wanted to give players like me a chance to get in the game . Get them off the bench and in the game

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
As a basketball trainer I get to teach the game of basketball from beginners to professional. Traveling all across Arizona to provide in-depth skill development. I focus on shooting and improving a players on court IQ

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would recommend for visitors to Arizona to check out the suns or mercury .

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Moving to Arizona from California I knew I wanted to become a basketball trainer and do it full time but moving to a new state I need to join a program to help me achieve what I wanted to do . I found Arizona Athletics Youth sports has been a blessing and has provide opportunities to do what I love to do teach the game of basketball
