Dave Guinane - Founder
Coach Dave has taught basketball since 1993. As a former college player at Wayne State University in Detroit and the Boy's Basketball Coach at Notre Dame Prep in Pontiac, Michigan, Coach Dave Guinane realized that coaches don't have the time to help their players improve on the various skill aspects of the game, such as shooting, ball-handling, defense and moving without the ball. That's why he developed his innovative training system and started The Basketball Workshop in 1998, to help high school, college players, and professionals learn the proper practice techniques needed to "take their game to the next level".
Recognized as one of the premier basketball shooting coaches in the nation, Coach Dave has worked with thousands of high school and college players over the years to help them become better all-around players and gain confidence in their skills. As a result, numerous "graduates" of The Basketball Workshop have gone on to play college basketball and professional basketball.
Over 50,000 hours of personal basketball training in his career, and has traveled the country teaching basketball
