Alex Burns
Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at Viterbo UniversityÂ
"I joined GITG101 as an intern in 2024 and incorporated what I learned into my role as an Assistant Coach at Viterbo University for their 2024-25 season."
Nicolette Rojo
Digital Content Specialist at Fox Sports
“GITG101 has seriously been one of the most impactful experiences I’ve encountered in my young career. I don’t have many folks to talk to about the sport and GITG101 has also inspired me to re-pursue my basketball career goals.”
Greg Waters
Director of Women’s Basketball Operations, Northwestern State University
"I think in life, when you ultimately reflect, there are events that have a domino effect in getting you to where you are currently. Meeting John and joining the Get In The Game Family had a domino effect for me in kickstarting what’s hopefully a long career working in basketball. You get to connect with so many people from different walks of life with similar goals that you’re bound to build impactful relationships and learn a lot about the game."
Basil Dougan
Charlotte Hornets Team Attendant
The GITG 101 team has helped me from day one in my basketball journey as a late bloomer in the basketball industry. Myself and many others learn about the important details of the game, culture, and business side of the NBA. It's a blessing to learn from John and his team because they care about your future, and you also gain long-term relationships for years to come outside of basketball as well.Â
Cody Stratton
Duke Womens Basketball Video Coordinator
“I highly recommend GITG101 for anyone interested in pursuing a career in basketball. John, Michael, and Bjorn’s experiences and insights into the industry are second to none. Plus, they provide a tremendous opportunity to build genuine relationships with those that are chasing the same dreams.”
Andrew Bitrous

“Get in the Game 101 has been nothing but a joy to be a part of. From being in various meetings to working on projects, I am grateful for the impact and learning opportunities that this program has had and will continue to have!”
Yashwant Sathish
Video/Analytics Coordinator - Cal Poly Men's Basketball
"My experience with John and the Get In The Game crew has been so valuable to my life and career! Through the various courses, I learned what it took to work in basketball and, just as importantly, was able to meet and build lasting relationships with some terrific people!"
Chancellor Fry
Team Attendant - Salt Lake City Stars
"The GITG101 course that I took last year really helped me get an idea of what it takes to work in the NBA. Being able to learn from front office members and coaches that currently work, or have worked in positions that I am pursuing was really helpful for me in my journey. Nobody does it like GITG101, and I can promise you that."
Matthew Ho
Basketball Journalist/Scout
"Get in the Game was a crucial step into me breaking into the world of basketball. It taught me invaluable skills such as professionalism and work ethic and provided me with meaningful connections that I rely on to this day."
