Hi, my name is Gideon George. I am originally from Minna, Nigeria and was lucky enough to play Junior college basketball at New Mexico junior college and then transfer to Brigham Young University where I played basketball for three years and started in many games. I also have national team experience and completed many NBA workouts. I plan to use all of my experience to help bring your kid to the next level with my many years of college experience as well as help emphasize what is important like being a good teammate, communication, and working hard.
