Coach Howard. The academy’s own portrait, also used as his course cover.
In his own words
Ten years, every level.
The academy’s own bio — the same paragraph he publishes on his course site — reads:
“Coach Howard is from Atlanta, Ga. Nonetheless, he is know worldwide for his success in person and online in the basketball world as a trainer and coach. He has been coaching for 10+ years and has been on all levels of basketball… He is an expert at coaching youth players and knows exactly what it takes to get them to the next level… Coach Howard exudes passion while coaching youth players regardless of age. From college hoopers all the way down to the toddlers.”

The channel
560,000 subscribers, built one drill at a time.
He describes the channel himself as “1 Of The Best Basketball Channels for basketball content — Elite Basketball Training Advice, Tips, Tricks, Player Breakdowns, Move breakdowns.”
It has run since May 2015 and now carries 560K subscribers, 137 videos and 38,083,075 lifetime views.
One correction worth making
His X bio claims “60 million YouTube views and counting”. The channel itself reports 38,083,075. The lower figure is the one the platform actually publishes, so it is the one used across this site.
His uploads have also paused — the newest video is roughly a year old, while his Instagram and X stayed active through mid-2026.
Family
He coaches his own first.
The academy’s course page points readers to his son, Ajani Howard, as proof of the beginner method working — “one of the best 5 year old you will ever see. If you don’t believe just go check his Instagram.” That account is @ajani_howard.
The “5 year old” description is from the course page as originally written and has not been updated since; Ajani is older now.
