Coach Lou’s journey into youth basketball began over two decades ago, fueled by a desire to make a positive impact on the lives of young athletes. As the CEO and founder of the Sports and Fitness Education Non-profit, his dedication and vision has transformed not just a single program but the entire landscape of youth basketball in South Florida.
Coach Lou holds a Bachelor’s degree in Science from Keiser University and an Associate of Science degree in Educational Administration from Adelphi University. He chose to use his educational background to enhance the basketball skills of young athletes while also promoting academic excellence. From the very beginning, Coach Lou established high academic standards, firmly believing that education and sports should go hand in hand.
His hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed; named one of the Top 15 Most Influential Travel and High School Personnel in Florida by the Florida Basketball Bulletin. This recognition is a testament to Louis’s significant impact on the game and the trust that many in the basketball community have in him.
