If you have any interest in wanting to be a great shooter, I'd advise you to look no further than Steve Janzen. His amazing attention to detail and tireless work ethic allowed him to play at the highest levels in the game of basketball! He can also get you on that same level! I recommend him to anyone with the desire to want to shoot high percentages and understand what it takes to play this game at a high level!

As a training partner, Steve definitely pushed me to my limits mentally and physically! His competitive edge in workouts alone was contagious. Not only did he want to beat everyone else in the gym with how many shots he made, or how well he executed a move, he also wanted to beat himself with each rep he took. Steve truly inspired me to practice and train with an increased desire to win, and an enhanced desperation to be the best player on the floor.

As a coach, Steve has always been dedicated to bringing out the best in those he trains, not only as a player but as a person as well. Steve’s skill set as a pure shooter and crafty scorer is an incredible asset for any young player looking to improve their game. What sets Steve apart however, is his holistic approach in his training style. Steve believes that the hard work invested in a basketball setting is easily translated to the type of character that player will have on and off the court. When Steve engages with others, especially in a basketball setting, he has undoubtedly leaves them as better players and people.

In my eight year pro career Steve Janzen is the best shooter I have played with. I believe I am a better shooter now in my career from being able to watch Steve's shot preparation and technique on a day to day basis.

I met Steve when we played professionally in Germany. I had recently come from a program at Carleton University that took perfection and shooting very seriously but Steve took it to a different level. The thing that really set him apart was how good his footwork was, his feet were always set and in the speed at which a professional game happens that is tough. It is the small but important details like that combined with his determination to be better every day that I learned from Steve.

Steve's natural ability to put the ball in the hoop combined with his work ethic has made him a deadly marksmen. Watching Steve in practice and how to translated into games, I knew I could always count on Steve to hit big shots. Steve's years of experience as both a CIS & European professional player has given him the opportunity to be coached by various high level coaches. I was not surprised by Steve's drive to coach youth sports. Steve's knowledge gained from playing at a high level for so long, as well as being a teacher by trade, it is a no brainer to be coached by Steve.

I have known Steve since the early 2000's when our university teams used to battle against each other.  The scouting report on Steve was always "Don't let him shoot!"  Steve and I really got to know each other when we were overseas playing professionally.  That is when I got to know who Steve really was.  He was a fierce competitor who took training very seriously, and someone who was very committed to mastering his craft.  These are the reasons its why he excelled later in life and why he will continue to be successful.  He practices what he preaches. He's one of the most passionate people that I know. He's relentless at what he sets his mind to. He's exactly who I would want to coach my kids!  Steve's knowledge of the game of basketball and his ability to communicate and teach, make him an amazing coach.  I trust Steve to teach the generations to come how to excel at basketball!

Steve's passion for basketball is an essential component when it comes to coaching. His years playing in university and professionally have provided him with practical experiences. Combined with his schooling as an educator, Steve has what it takes to be a strong skill development coach and role model for young basketball players.

Crossing paths with Steve at a young age certainly had a major impact on my future success in Pro-Basketball. Being exposed to such a professional approach towards his body, his mechanics and the mental aspect of shooting really left a mark. Luckily, even back then he already enjoyed teaching and sharing his knowledge with those around him. So even after shooting over 40% from 3 for 6 consecutive seasons and winning the 3-point contest in the BBL, I still implement drills I learned from him 12 years ago in my day-to-day shooting routines.
