FOUNDER AND ACADEMY DIRECTOR
Coach Jalen built Full Court Speed Academy after spending over three years developing young athletes through two proven systems: the Larry Hughes Basketball Academy and Parisi Speed School. His approach blends basketball development influenced by Larry Hughes, a 13-year NBA veteran, with speed and performance coaching from a national training system.

Coach Julien
Basketball Coach
Coach Julien brings high-level playing experience at the collegiate and semi-professional levels, with a strong understanding of
what it takes to develop as a point guard. His coaching focuses on dribbling, basketball IQ, decision-making, passing, pace, and understanding how to move on and off the ball. He specializes in helping smaller guards use their quickness, handle, footwork, angles, and creativity to create advantages, get downhill, and finish against bigger defenders. His goal is to develop complete point guards who understand how to control the game, read defenses, make the right pass, create opportunities for teammates, and consistently make winning plays.
