“Coach Lorenz always pushes me to give 100% effort. We would focus on multiple parts of my games, limiting my weaknesses. He always had an answer to fix my shot, footwork, ball handling, and finishing. Coach Lorenz helped me go from not being able to dribble to bringing the ball up comfortably. Coach has been a great role model by never canceling and always working with my schedule. Being around someone who is always ready to go and put the work in is very inspiring for someone chasing their dream. Coach Lorenz is the reason I went from getting cut from my travel team to playing at the College level. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a high IQ basketball trainer, as well as a great role model, hit up Coach Lorenz. Overall, he is the main reason I became the player I am today, and I continue to work with him on my basketball journey."

"John helped with my dribbling, jumpshot, confidence, and athletic ability. I was surprised how explosive I became on the court after doing his training. John also helped me create and reach my goal of becoming a more effective player on my high school team with the ability to score more. As a trainer, he is very patient and understanding of his players. He truly believes in everyone he trains. John definitely made an impact on my life. As a player I had a pretty weak mindset of what my skillset could be. John instilled a growth mindset within me that has helped me as a young man. I would definitely recommend John as a trainer."

"Working with Coach Lorenz helped me become more consistent at shooting on the catch and off the dribble. He also helped me get better with ball handling. I like how Coach Lorenz works on shots that are taken in game and full speed. He also spent time working on my joints and muscles, which helped with recovering and feeling better about myself after my trainings. I would recommend Coach Lorenz as a trainer. He is a great coach and person. He knows the game of basketball and can help you get better instantly"

"John really helped me with my off the bounce shooting and catch and shooting while tired. He helped with my shooting mechanics a lot, making it feel smooth and effortless. He helped me realize what I could achieve and motivated me. Coach John is a chill coach and really knows what he's talking about. He teaches the game so well. I definitely recommend him as a trainer to people all ages. The way he trains, treats people, and understand the game makes him a great trainer. I'm thankful I had him as a coach for 2 years and still train with him."

"Having John as a trainer was really exhilarating. At some points he pushed me so hard that I almost threw up. When I started training with him I was on the 7th grade B team. After a few years I was starting on varsity as a sophomore. What I like about working with John is that he trains you to hit all the things other trainers wouldn't. He is very focused on every detail prioritizing quality over quantity. John has definitely impacted my life by giving me the work ethic I have today. Whether if it was 8AM on Sunday mornings or 8PM Friday nights, I knew I was going to get a quality workout in. I would definitely recommend John as a trainer if you are trying to get better at basketball."

"After training with Coach John, my shooting technique and ability to counter moves really improved. He helped me fix my base and my follow through, and now I'm much more confident shooting. He also taught me a bunch of different moves that help me get to the basket. Coach John has helped me get better and by taking my feedback from my games and turning it into drills. His feedback always helps me improve and see real results. Freight Train Athletics has had a huge impact on my life. It hasn't just taken my game to the next level, but it also taught me principals that I can use in other sports and activities. I would definitely recommend Coach John as a trainer. He's helped me improve my skills, strength, and mindset, and I'm so grateful for everything he's taught me."
