Coach Profiles

Trent Brunker (Madison, WI) - Program Skills Trainer

I graduated from Appleton East High School in 2016. There I started on the varsity basketball team for three years and also played baseball. I chose to go to UW-Madison where I graduated in 2020 with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Business. While at Madison, I switched gears and relentlessly studied the game as I was disappointed my hard work in high school didn't translate to a basketball scholarship, and decided to then help other players reach their goals. I was able to receive amazing mentorship from many high level high school coaches as well as NBA skills trainer Reid Ouse. I have now personally worked with hundreds of players including elementary, middle and high school players, as well as college and pro players. This includes helping Reid work with Golden State Warriors star Andrew Wiggins, among others. Similarly, I have been fortunate enough to have worked with the Appleton East Girls Varsity team, the Milton Boys Program, the Waunakee Girls Program, the Verona Boys Program, as well as the Kimberly Boys Varsity team. I truly love the game of basketball and am so thankful for the opportunities it has provided me, and hope to share that same passion with you!
