Coached from experience. Built with purpose.

I am Coach Nabil. My journey through Mali, Thailand, New Zealand, and the United States, Basketball Without Borders, and collegiate basketball shapes the way I coach.

I bring an exercise science background and individualized performance coaching to youth athletes and active adults in Chicago and the North Shore.

I prepare athletes for the game they play by preparing them for the game of life.
