athlete testimonial

“Back in high school, Coach Finlen brought a yoga instructor into our basketball practices. At first, I didn’t know what to expect, but it ended up being a game-changer. The flexibility, body control, and mental focus I gained from those sessions stuck with me throughout college and into my pro career. Whether I was competing in the U.S. or overseas in Armenia’s A-League, that foundation helped keep me strong, loose, and ready. Coach Finlen saw the bigger picture—and I’m grateful he introduced me to tools that continue to elevate my game today.” — Derrick Newberry
USA South Conference Champion | 2020 NCAA Tournament Athlete | Professional Basketball Player

beyond the court

After stepping away from coaching, Coach Finlen built a thriving technology business and still serves as the lead developer. He recently helped me bring my vision to life by developing a platform that allows me to train and mentor youth—both on the court and beyond. Take a look at the membership website that he built for me below.
