ABOUT TRUE 2 THE GRIND HOOPS

Our mission is about more than just basketball; it's about building character, discipline, and understanding.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

DISCIPLINE, DETAIL, AND DEDICATION

True to the Grind Hoops is founded on the belief that greatness comes from consistent hard work, a solid grasp of fundamentals, and a relentless commitment to excellence. We strive to instill these values in every athlete we train.

FOUNDER AND HEAD COACH

WILLIAM OBIOHA

I was the number one high school basketball player in the state of North Dakota, earning interest from multiple Division I and Division II programs. During my junior year, I suffered an injury that sidelined me for over a year and didn't fully heal until years later. While recovering during the COVID shutdown, I started posting basketball training tips on TikTok, growing the account to over 100,000 followers by focusing on practical, effective ways to improve. That experience sparked my passion for coaching, and I began training players in person soon after.

My coaching style is detail-oriented, intense, and grounded in fundamentals. I break down the "why" behind everything we do, helping players understand the game and not just go through the motions. I'm dedicated to developing disciplined, confident athletes who play the right way and put in the work every step of the journey.
