Reviews of Chris Corbett’s Work

“Having played basketball with Austin Youth Basketball’s Chris Corbett for a decade that brought numerous championships, I can say his approach every game was about dedication and focus.  His integrity, desire and knowledge of the game made him a valuable teammate and a coach on the floor. Any player or program would benefit from having Chris on board for player development and reaching for higher standards.”

Mark Acres  |  Boston Celtics

7 Year NBA Veteran

Chris Corbett & Austin Youth Basketball have an amazing level of passion for the game of basketball at all levels. His high energy approach to working on the fundamentals of the game is great for all players. He works with every player on their strengths and weaknesses to make them the best player they can be. I have sent him players in the past and will continue to recommend other players ready to work on their game to him.

Mike Vandegarde | 15 year NBA Scout – Former Texas State Coach – Former Pro

“Chris Corbett is very passionate about helping our youth and sharing his knowledge of the game through the fundamentals that have been forgotten.  I admire his desire to learn and share his expertise in hoops and life.  He encouraged me through a tough time in my life after the passing of my Grandmother mainly because he could relate. And I will forever be grateful.  Chris Corbett is an up and coming skills trainer in Austin and teaches with morals and work ethic.”
