Meet the Coaches
Coach Arham
"I’ve experienced enough pain to know that it doesn’t stop until you decide it’s time that it stop".
Meet Arham Gul, a 31 year old from Toronto Ontario who steers the ship known as Alpha Elite Sports Group, also known as AEG. A community he calls it, rather than a basketball academy. I got creative, well raised, smart and engaging kids in my academy.
Being creative is a skill. Creativity is an ability to play, to design and re-design. To build and reassemble out of curiosity, it is a messy skill favored by repetition, not talent. creativity is repelled by your need for perfection. That's how Arham describes AEG. "Ideally, It's my brainchild". It's my job to serve my community, and put my best foot forward.
The youth of tomorrow, line up as the classes stack from 10AM till sunset on a warm Saturday, Coach Arham and his staff look to give the future of tomorrow the best experience possible.
"I’ve experienced enough pain to know that it doesn’t stop until you decide it’s time that it stop.
"Change starts with you, your routine, your habits. Look at yourself first. Now, With quality coaching, off court mentorship, and most importantly a proven track record, AEG soars to expand different locations all around the greater Toronto area.
"The universe confirms many things after doubt consumes. be open to learning & tuning out the negative—everything you need is in front of you"
