Small Group Sessions

Fortified Athlete

Fortified Athlete's small group training sessions are specifically designed to enhance basketball skills through focused, intensive coaching. Each session caters to a limited number of athletes, ensuring personalized attention and instruction tailored to individual skill levels and performance goals. The training covers a broad range of basketball fundamentals including shooting accuracy, defensive positioning, dribbling techniques, and game strategy.

The structure of these sessions allows for detailed feedback and continuous skill assessment, enabling athletes to see tangible improvements in their performance. By keeping the groups small, each participant benefits from direct coaching interactions, which facilitates rapid development and mastery of complex basketball skills. This setting also encourages peer learning, where athletes can gain insights from the experiences and techniques of their teammates, fostering a competitive yet supportive environment.

Fortified Athlete's Online Community

The Fortified Athlete online community is a vibrant digital platform designed to extend the principles and training of our physical program into a supportive online environment. It serves as a hub where young athletes, guided by the teachings of the Catholic faith, can connect, share experiences, and grow together both athletically and spiritually. This community offers a variety of resources, including training videos, motivational content, and interactive forums where members can discuss both the challenges and successes they encounter in their athletic and personal lives. Additionally, the community features exclusive educational content on topics such as discipline, teamwork, and spiritual growth, all integrated within the context of competitive sports. It’s a place where athletes can not only improve their physical skills but also deepen their understanding of how faith intersects with athletics, fostering a holistic approach to personal development.

MEET OUR TEAM

Nicholas Perez

Founder

Hello, I’m Coach Nick, a passionate coach and trainer with a life full of purpose. My Catholic faith, my loving fiancée, and my commitment to training young athletes are all deeply interconnected in my mission. I aim not just to teach basketball skills, but to inspire greatness in life. That’s why I founded Basketball With Life and Fortified Athlete. Through these programs, I live my passion and purpose every day.

Basketball has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember. I know firsthand the hunger for success that so many young athletes feel. My mission is to prepare them for what true success means and to teach them that failure is a significant part of the journey. No matter where their goals take them, I want them to understand that they can find success.

I love to train, instruct, and mentor. Watching my athletes grow, both on and off the court, is the most rewarding experience. At Fortified Athlete, I am dedicated to making a positive impact on each young athlete, helping them to develop their skills, build their character, and achieve their dreams.
