Welcome to Jon Medina Coaching (JMC)!

I’m Coach Jon, a dedicated basketball coach and trainer in New Jersey, driven by a passion to inspire athletes of all ages to reach their full potential—both on and off the court. My mission is not just to help players sharpen their skills, but to guide them in setting and achieving meaningful goals. I believe that with the right mindset, relentless focus, and a hunger for self-improvement, anything is possible.

I started coaching basketball for two main reasons:

First, basketball has been my therapy, my passion, and my first love for as long as I can remember. Whenever life felt overwhelming, I’d pick up a ball, turn on my music, and for those moments, everything else would fade away (no pun intended). Beyond the countless hours I spent practicing alone, the game has also allowed me to build invaluable relationships. I fell in love with the sport over 20 years ago and have stayed close to the game ever since.

Second, I have a deep desire to help others overcome challenges, set and achieve their goals, and build a life rooted in strong values and purpose, just as I have. I love teaching the mental aspects of the game—such as overcoming adversity, developing mental toughness and confidence, and becoming a leader—just as much as I enjoy teaching the technical skills of basketball.

I wasn’t an all-star in high school, but I was a captain my senior year. Then I became a Marine, and now, a business owner. I’ve often been told I’m a natural-born leader, and I’ve embraced that role. Today, I design personalized plans to help individuals achieve both their basketball and life goals.

With over 200 individuals already benefiting from JMC, I’m excited to help you become the best version of yourself—on and off the court. Ready to lock in? Book a consultation today!
