I’m Wayne Mendezona, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Corban University and founder of Quick Handle Basketball. I’ve spent over 30+ years developing athletes and have trained more than 50,000 players—from youth to college and professional levels. I specialize in ball handling, scoring, and game performance—helping athletes build confidence, decision-making, and real in-game results. My training is not just drills—it’s about developing complete players who can perform under pressure, think the game, and separate themselves from the competition. I don’t train average. I train athletes who are serious about growth, discipline, and competing at a higher level. If that’s you, let’s get to work.
"My son said Coach Mendo was far and away the most effective coach he's ever worked with! His knowledge, tools, and willingness to share wisdom are incredible. I've never seen my son so impressed by a coach or heard him so enthusiastic about what he learned in a session. Very grateful!
Wayne
Former college basketball player and USA Basketball certified coach who has been working with athletes for over ten years, emphasizing the FUNdamentals of sports. I design practices that enhance decision-making, perception, and creativity under pressure. Training goes beyond drills and mechanics to develop athletes who can read the game and perform when it matters most.
"Coach Neal is awesome. He broke down the skills into small pieces so that my 8 year-old son wouldn't get frustrated. After only 1 hour my son showed a great improvement, and when he went to basketball practice later in the week he had increased confidence, was getting shots into the basket, was passing with his teammates, and was very happy. Coach Neil is worth every penny.
