Jamal Richardson has been a basketball skills development trainer in Nashville for over 15 years. He's fallen in love with the purpose God has created for him: to serve others through basketball. His mantra, "KPBLDG" (Keep Building) encourages others to be resilient and to put in the work that's required to become the best version of themselves.

Jamal trains NBA All Star, Darius Garland, 2023 NBA #2 draft pick, Brandon Miller, NBA veteran and the only HBCU alumni currently in the NBA, Robert Covington, plus over 30 other professional basketball players in the NBA, G League and overseas. He has also coached the HBCU All Star Game the past three years and has helped Draymond Green and Tom Izzo run Michigan State's Spartan Dawg Grind Week since its inception in 2021. He currently coaches the Brentwood Academy middle school basketball team and teams in Darius Garland's local youth league.

Jamal is passionate about giving back to the Nashville community and he’s always wanted to serve adults & kids with special needs.

His little brother Jordan has Down Syndrome and has defied incredible odds. They didn’t think he’d live past 23 years old, but he’s still alive and well today at 29. Jordan’s resilience motivates Jamal to KPBLDG (Keep Building) every single day.

So Jamal wanted to give back to him and other adults / kids with special needs. He wants to give them an opportunity they’ve never had before - learn basketball + life skills from elite trainers and professional athletes.
