TESTIMONIALS

Colleague
“Coach Jim Corrigall has an incredible mind for basketball and is equally gifted in translating it to his students and team, extracting the best out of each. Much of what I learned through his coaching and saw through his example, gave me the many tenants I’ve emulated to find success not just in sports, but in my career in the military. The life lessons he taught me transcend sports and have created lasting impact and value in my life. Basketball is a fantastic medium to cultivate the intangible qualities of hard-work, drive, grit, teamwork, and determination, and I could not recommend anyone more than Coach Corrigall to ingrain those traits in young men and women.”

"Coach Jim Corrigall is one of the most professional and knowledgeable coaches I have [worked with]. Jim is a student of the game and practices what he preaches to his players. Jim has a wide range of experience both as a player and a coach at different levels. He really knows how to motivate and bring out the best in his players. I would recommend Jim for individual skill building to enhance your game to the next level."

Former Teammate
“For two seasons Jim was a teammate of mine at South China Basketball team during which we won several championships competing in the Hong Kong League.
Jim was the consummate professional and was a very valuable contributor to our team’s success. Jim’s unselfishness and work ethic positively influenced and bettered our team environment. He often led by example through his hard work and ability to overcome challenges. We could rely on Jim to do whatever was
needed to help the team win regardless of how big or small the role was.
I was personally impressed with his ability to balance all of his life commitments and contribute at a high level within both practices and games. Within my 10 year professional career Jim stands out as one of my top teammates because of his selflessness and dedication to the team.”
