About Jelani "Coach Bo" Boline
My name is Jelani "Coach Bo" Boline. I was very fortunate to play at one of the best high schools in Chicago, Whitney M. Young Magnet HS, where I was voted to the All-Public League Team, All-Area Team, and All-Academic Team. I went on to play high major D1 basketball at Oregon St. Univ and Univ of Illinois, plus I played pro ball in the International Basketball Association in Winnipeg, Canada. I was an assistant and head coach of AAU, HS and college teams, from 2009 until 2020. I have been part of championship caliber teams. Head coach of a grassroots AAU organization, Hoopazy Only, which had a lot of success and won multiple tourneys. As for HS and college, i was an assistant coach of a HS varsity city championship team plus the team finished 3rd in state. In 2013, I was the associate head coach and top recruiter for Moraine Valley Community College, which lost in the national championship game. In 2016, I was the top assistant and lead recruiter for Triton Community College that also finished 2nd in the national championship tournament. In 2020, I finished my 3rd year as the head coach at Richard Daley College in Chicago but had to resign due to Covid 19 where they canceled our season then me and my family's relocated to Texas. I have been training off and on since I finished college in 1998 but know I am doing this full time and run my own business!
I specialize in overall 1st in being fundamentally sound. Then I continue to work with clients on overall skill development, agility, balance, Boot camp style-strength/conditioning (sometimes Boot camp sessions in the sand), and injury preventative exercises/stretching. Sessions can be private 1 on 1 or small group sessions as well. I have started training over zoom calls as well and team training or practice!
I think being able to work with the youth anywhere from 7-9 years old to professional ball players and everything in between separates me from alot of trainers. My 1st session is a trial/consultation to evaluate a new possible client. Then, if we move forward to tailor make workouts geared to that specified youths needs. I try to attack their weaknesses then build them up from there while still enhancing their strengths to become a better overs all basketball player!
I have always had a passion for working with the youth. My track record of assisting 100s of student-athletes fulfill their dream of playing basketball makes my day. Some I have trained up but others I have assisted by making calls to my college coaches in my network, hosting unsigned college basketball showcases, coaching student-athletes at the schools I coached at, etc. My track record is outstanding and I can get references at any time plus you can read all my reviews from Chicago to Texas!
Last but not least, I think something that separates me to get to know a new client is that I ask them to send me their 3 top strengths, their 3 biggest weaknesses they need to improve on the most and what are their ultimate basketball goals and life goals!
I look forward to assisting any athlete with achieving whatever goals they desire in the game of basketball.

About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
We would communicate via text or I prefer a phone call to possibly schedule a trial/assessment session to see what level the possible new trainee is on. Then after the evaluation we will figure out a schedule for future sessions!
I would tell the student that if they set goals and that trainer is not helping them to achieve those goals properly, they need to find a new trainer! Growth is a slow and a steady process, plus, doesn't happen over night. The parent(s) and student(s) need to be realistic with outcomes of the trainings and conscientious of where the student(s) skill set was at from the 1st session.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Students need to put together what they think are their strengths and weaknesses. After that, the student needs to let their trainer know what are their strengths and weaknesses. Afterwards, they should allow the trainer to evaluate them properly to see where they are and what they need to work on during their training sessions to get better!
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Jelani "Coach Bo" Boline.
Perfect! Highly recommend Coach Bo! My 9-year-old has been training with him for about two months, doing a mix of one-on-one and small group sessions. Coach Bo’s focus on fundamentals, combined with his positive and encouraging approach, has really helped with my child’s skills and confidence. His communication with parents is excellent and makes the whole experience even better.
Perfect! My son Adrien had his first lesson with Coach Bo last Saturday and I will say it was the best. Anyone who knows my son knows he is hard to make smile. Coach Bo received multiple smiles from him and made his first time lesson fun. We are definitely going to continue our training with Coach Bo. I highly recommend his lesson to anyone looking for basketball lessons.
Perfect! True professional and very knowledgeable. My son has showed growth after only a few sessions.
Perfect! We have tried 3 different coaches before now with little or no success. Just 4 weeks after my son started working with the coach he became a different player. His fitness, agility and skills have seen a significant improvement. If you really want to see your play at a higher level then this is your coach.
Perfect! Coach Bo is the real deal! He’s focused on teaching the kids the technical aspects of the game and making them tougher physically as well! I’m sure he’s going to be a wonderful coach for my son and we will be continuing our training with him!
Perfect! Coach Bo is a very experienced coach and is very personable with his athletes and their families! He works athletes hard yet with great leadership and motivates them to improve. He is exactly what I was looking for in a Coach and I can’t wait to continue to see my son grow.
Perfect! Coach Bo was great with my son. We were seeking help with shooting form and the workout was great. He is very knowledge and respectful to the kids and parents. I will be continuing to work with Coach Bo for more help in all areas for my son.
Perfect! Coach Bo has motivated my son to get stronger. My son says he got more out of one session with Coach Bo than any other coaching sessions!
Perfect! Coach Bo has been amazing. My son is a senior this year and has been playing out of position. Coach has been patient and after only a few workouts we have already seen improvement in his game and endurance.
Perfect! Excellent teacher and coach! Coach Bo is very understanding and amazing with my son! We could not be happier I with our experience!
Perfect! Coach Bo is great man! Makes you work hard and trains you to maximize your skillset. Reasonable pricing and always stays extra long to help out. My forms already looking sharper and handle is tighter, definitely recommend!
Perfect! So far, so good. I met Coach Bo about two weeks ago, and he has a heart of gold. He was able to take on my son at the last minute. His knowledge, skill set, and preparation for the game of basketball are at another level. I already see my son's game improving significantly in such a short time frame. I definitely recommend him! Highly qualified!
Perfect! Coach Bo is a professional trainer with set goals for the our student. He is, however, patient and encouraging.
Perfect! Coach Bo is the real deal. He worked with my 12 year old daughter and I could see marked improvement after every session. He was very flexible with our schedule and was very reliable. He is a really nice guy and my daughter is very fond of him. His coaching style is very positive but disciplined and my daughter really listened to him as a result. I also liked the videos he sent after most practices to show her progress practically real-time. I had to take a break for health reasons, but I will be re-enlisting his help again over the summer. 5 Stars !!!
Perfect! My daughter started with Coach Bo about a year ago and we have seen her grow from a true beginner to playing on her school team. He is great at making the work fun and teaching the foundation to becoming a solid player. Her understanding of the game has grown 1000% and she enjoys putting in the work during every lesson with coach.
- Thanks for the 5 🌟 review! I appreciate you hiring me plus, trusting me to work with your daughter to become an overall better basketball player! Growth doesn't happen over night but with commitment and consistency, that's when you see the gains! Salute to Carlie for receiving my instructions and trying her best to put them to work!! 🫡 to the players who are sincere about getting BETTER day in and day out!! 🏆 mindset!!!Jelani "Coach Bo" Boline's response :
Perfect! I was not confident at all on my basketball while searching for coach.
I felt worse when I saw other boys played so great after the first lesson.
Just thinking to give up learning, Bo called me and willing to coach me individually to build everything from fundamental.
There is skill designed for every session, any Bo will point out the mistake that I made and so that I can repeat the correct action.
It is the most important that there is expert will check you action and correct it in time.
After several sessions, I have built up the fundamental skill for drill, shoot, moving. That is a great gift that I couldnt image.
Thanks for the strong fundamental Bo taught me, I am able to learn the advance skill really quick and I am not the guy who afraid basketball anymore.Perfect! Great experience!
Complete beginner here and left feeling very good about some of the basics! Got a ton done in an hour and Coach Bo was fantastic! Sets up drills and really watches what your doing to give instant feedback and things to adjust. He is also very personable and really had some good laughs(mostly at me 😂). Highly recommend Coach Bo if you’re like me and are trying to get into the game and learn, while having fun.
Thanks again!
Will be taking more lessons!Perfect! Man, Listen! This guy right here is the real deal. I had my first session today and it was great. Im a beginner and hadn't playing basketball in years but Coach Bo made me feel real comfortable and at ease. His personality alone is through the roof. His training techniques and skills are top notch! He is amazing i tell you. If there's anybody looking to up their game to the next, Caoch Bo is the man for the job. See ya next session coach! 😁🤜🏽🤛🏽💫🏀
Perfect! Jelani does an amazing job training! He is patient and thorough. He is an extremely nice guy who really knows how to work with my teen to help him fine tune his game.
Perfect! Coach Bo is awesome! He takes training to the next level and really has creative ways to train. I am so glad my son is working with him! I would highly recommend Coach Bo to anyone!!!
Perfect! Review is for Coach Bo. Excellent & efficient workout and was communicative in hearing out my needs. He created a tailored approach to my goals and was quick to point out flaws and small details for improvement.
Perfect! My son has just started with Coach Bo and already we are impressed! The workout was great. Coach Bo took the time to listen to any questions or concerns I had as a parent, and genuinely cares about the player and helping them improve their game. I am so glad we found him!
Perfect! He has brought my son so far in his skill level and confidence. He is a great coach and always goes above and beyond. Emphasis on correct form and ball handling. It’s been such a great experience!
Perfect! Coach Bo was able to analyze the areas I need to improve as a hooper within a few minutes of the training session. Patient, very knowledgeable and a solid guy all around. Looking forward to working more in the future.
Perfect! The best to ever do it. If you want to get better at every aspect of basketball go to Coach Bo he goated fasho.
Perfect! If you want to take your game to the next level. Then Dynamically Anointed Sports is right for you! Coach Bo is passionate about training people and helping them get to the next level. He focuses on skill development. He teaches every drill with detail. Highly recommend!
Perfect! Coach Bo was very quickly able to identify my daughters strengths/ weaknesses and tailored the lesson accordingly. She had fun, learned alot, and can't wait for her next session!
Perfect! I like that coach Bo wants to improve everything about his players, not just skills but strength as well.
Perfect! Very patient
Perfect! 1st time with one on one practice with coachBo, will come back
Perfect! Coach is very attentive , has great basketball knowledge and a overall great guy. My son Cooper really enjoying the experience and learning. Worth every dollar we’ve spent.
Perfect! Wonderful knowledge and great with my son. I would recommend Jelani to anybody who has a kid passionate about basketball. Gregg
Perfect! Coach Bo is very thorough and pays attention to detail. He makes sure that your child understands before moving to the next task. I highly recommend him.
Perfect! The best training you could ask for.
Perfect! First of all, coach Boline’s knowledge about the game and his coaching resume is unquestionable. Once being a professional player(also played in D1) and an active head coach of a college team, he really understands principles and priorities of basketball game as well as player development. His students ranges from active D1 players to amateurs like me who wants to bring my game to the next level. I am 26 years old and currently attending college as a master student and have being grinding the game for almost a decade. After two sessions and some serious basketball conversations with the coach, I not only resolved many doubts technically but also starts to visualize a path of how to improve my game on a daily basis. I have to say that’s what coaching is all about, instead of teaching you every single move hand by hand, which is quite inefficient. He is very approachable and even sends your training videos afterwards, including some amazing workouts. So if you are serious about basketball and craves for a mentorship, hire coach Boline and stop dissecting YouTube videos, which tells you to practice fancy crossover before you develop a conditioning regime. You will be frustrated and get crushed even in pickup game in LA Fitness. After all, you don’t want to lose your passion to the game.

Great coaching. High level training
The workouts with Coach Bo were great. Helped my son get in shape for the season and build skills
This was my kids’ first assessment and consultation with Coach Bo. It’s their very first year playing basketball, and they’re starting with no prior experience. Meeting Coach Bo was such a positive and encouraging experience for our family. He immediately made them feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn. I truly appreciate how patient, uplifting, and intentional he is with both of them. He focuses not only on building skills but also on developing discipline, attitude, and respect. Qualities that will serve them both on and off the court.
Coach Bo has a true gift for teaching the fundamentals while keeping every session fun, engaging, and inspiring. As a mother, it means so much to see my children not only developing their skills but also growing in confidence and falling in love with this new journey. His positive energy, patience, and dedication to excellence create such a motivating environment. We’re genuinely excited for each upcoming session and grateful to have met him at the very start of their basketball journey.Their training has really helped me improve my game. The workouts are great, and I’ve definitely gotten better and more confident on the court.
It’s very high intensity and extremely good
Coach Bo is one of the best coaches my son worked with. He got him ready for tryouts, he works individually with kids even in a group setting. He understands each player’s needs and makes them better. I highly recommend coach Bo
Coach Bo takes time to understand the gaps and provides focused training . He builds a strong relationship with the kid and sends weekly updates . Very professional and we see great improvement in our son who is training to be on the JV team.
Bo is an awesome coach. His knowledge comes from a collegiate big 10 player and being a coach for many years. He has really helped my son with his confidence, quick release, moves and more. My son absolutely loves working 1 on 1 with him. Highly recommend!! Thanks Coach
Coach Bo is one of the kindest and respectful people I know. He got me from not being able to dribble or shoot. To a skilled ball handler and shooter. Amazing trainer. Highly recommend.
Great guy and coch. I highly recommend.....................................................................
High level basketball training but digestible to where my son could make immediate adjustments that were noticeable in his next game(s).
Coach Bo is outstanding! He pushes each player hard to get them better and make sure they compete hard every play. He really cares for each kid and gives them the tools needed to succeed on the court. Highly recommend!
My son has been working out with Coach Bo for years and has definitely seen a benefit from his coaching. It’s a great workout with high intensity and specific training. We highly recommend him.
This is our first time hiring a basketball trainer for my daughter and Coach Bo exceeded our expectations from the start. He is very knowledgeable and focuses on fundamentals which I think is very important. He challenges my daughter mentally and physically at every practice. In just two weeks of them practicing I already notice some improvements. I really recommend him to anyone who wants their kid to learn or improve in this sport. Thanks Coach Bo!!
I would recommend coach Bo without any reservations for all your training needs. He is punctual, energetic, and enthusiastic. He really seems to care for the development of my son and creates work out routines unique to what he needs. Give him a shot, you won’t be disappointed.
Coach Bo is a great teacher of the game. He can take average players and help them develop to good players and take good players and help them become great players. He leverages his college level experience to help expand the physical and mental capabilities of his athletes.
Individual customized training for all levels. Coach Bo can identify what the athlete needs to focus on and teach to their level.
Coach Bo is the ABSOLUTE BEST…. Amazing trainer and coach!
Coach Bo really cares about the player. He has a ton of high level competitive basketball experience. He develops programming unique to the players needs.
Made me work hard and still want to progress even further.
Coach Bo has a vision and intelligence that goes unmatched. He invests in his players, sees where improvement is needed and provides immediate results.
Teaches fundamentals. Pushes kids in a constructive fashion. Brings out the best in my boys.
it’s a great experience, very detailed and a great learning environment it feels like family like a brotherhood where you can bond and build relationships over the great game of basketball.
Besides the amazing NBA level training and skill work that is offered up by R.E.S.P.E.C.T Academy, I really enjoyed the fact that you get a lasting personal experience and a bond that last a lifetime outside of basketball. Great energy and environment over at R.E.S.P.E.C.T Academy. Highly recommended!
Coach Bo pushes you to become better, and not only that, he has a creative way of making you better as well. His training differs from most of the other trainers you may see on an everyday basis, I feel if you want to elevate your game to the next level, he’s the person to go to.
Coach Bo always looked out for me and kept up with me even when there wasnt events or anything going on and i really appreciate that
I liked training with Coach Bo because his knowledge of the game impeccable and he knows what it takes to get to that next level.
Very knowledgeable and understanding of training of kids and where they are currently in their game. Very easy to speak with and is really detailed on planning for what players need would recommend respect academy to everyone.
Jelani has gone above and beyond with my kid. He is a rising Senior looking to play ball in college and Jelani has already been more of a mentor than I expected. He is detailed, committed, great at the xs and os but mostly the behind the scenes things with recruiting that he has been instrumental in, has separated him from other coaches. I truly feel he being part of the journey has made our experience better!
I like how he will really push you to your limits he really burns you out give everything to you straight up you can always crack a jokes whit him overall he just a really good trainer
Coach Bo is a real professional. It's literally learning from a real expert. His program is really valuable for teaching everything about basketball, from the basics on up to coaching professionals. He structures all of the lessons in a very informative and hands-on way that makes it fun.
It doesn’t matter what level you are at when you begin to work with Coach Bo. You can be a beginner, high schooler, aspiring college athlete, or an old guy trying to get your groove back. He is a student of the game and the experience shows. If you lack confidence, he will teach you the skills needed to overcome that. If you lack the skill, fundamentals, or footwork, he will dedicate the time needed to get you elite. If you are willing to put in the work with Coach Boline, results are inevitable. He’s one of a kind with his workouts and motivation. Trusting in Coach Boline to work on my game was single handily one of the best decision I’ve made in regards to investing in myself and trusting the process! Grit and Grind!
He’s very detailed and always using inventive ways to improve your child weakness. Also, he’s constantly sending motivations articles and different workout videos. I‘be work with a lot trainers and he’s one of best!
I really can't put into words the progress I made in just the first 3-6 months with Coach Bo. Without getting emotional this man literally took me from being drafted dead last in my league to averaging 20 plus points a game, getting mad respect from my peers and playing in our championship game as a major contributing factor on my team on offense and defense. The lessons taught from dribbling to ball control, space and pace, shooting, post moves etc are second to none! The sand work outs are crazy lol but much needed and just enhances your overall basketball skills and durability... I'll leave you with this, you can go wherever you want and spend your hard earned cash with anyone you want but you will be doing yourself and/or child a disservice by not at least trying coach Bo!!!
He's a great coach I've ever seen in my life he's train you best to be like a legend. So I'm appreciate him so much for making me best basketball player.
Coach Boline worked very well with my 9!year old son. Instantly improved many basketball skills which I had could not instill in him previously. Perfect balance of hard work and still having fun. Look forward to continue seeing my son’s growth with lessons from Coach.
Great communication! Great workouts and drills!! My son loves it!
Great with evaluation of kids and developing drills to improve those skills. Keeps it fun for kids.
Great balance of fundamentals, advanced skills and performance training.
Coach Bo is a fundamentally sound coach. From the first basketball session, you can see his passion and love for the game and his enthusiasm to teach, train, and mentor. My son left the session feeling inspired and motivated. If you want to be challenged, improve your basketball skills and turn your body into a machine, call Coach Bo ASAP!!
Very informative’ knowledgeable. My son is very motivated now after the first session.
Its different types of workouts that I feel will improve my game.
How personable coach Boline is and his consistent work put in to making others better if they want to be.
Loved training with coach Bo, of course he pushes you to your full potential everyday but he always gives you an option! He shows you how to do things, how often you have to do them, why you should do them & how its going to separate you from the competition. And he leaves it up to you on how great you want to be which is so important in developing boys to men. Always giving them an option & not forcing them to do anything! His mentality is either your going to come to work everyday full throttle or next man up, yes it may seem like a brutal mentality but this is what the youth needs so nobodys time is wasted!
So I love Coach Bo & everything he did for me at Richard Daley, allowed me to come, not knowing who I was, & just giving me the only thing I wanted, an opportunity! I love him for that & he also took my game to another level by improving my footwork!
He was more than just a coach to me & I am forever grateful we crossed paths in life!
Nothing but love for Coach Boline!My Coach for 2 years at Junior College. Helped my isolation game, confidence & jumpsuit tremendously. Able to play on at an NAIA because of his training & coaching.
He sticks to the basics, he make sure you know why you do the drill. Coach bo is patient sees talent and creates an professional player out of you in weeks shows you how to play with less dribbles and tells you what coaches would expect you to do if you want to get crafty, he is also definitely the guy to go to for that he played division 1 basketball knows how to create space and get to the basket when you want
Coach Bo is a great trainer. He’s very much hands on and provides correction during the instruction which is needed. He pushes you to get better while being connected with his clients. He takes seeing his clients get better serious.
The workouts were very high level and pushed my body and skills throughout the workout. It prepared me for college basketball for sure
Coach Bo knows the game and did a very good job helping me develop as a player. I trained with him since high school and he is a big reason why I an currently playing NCAA Division 2 basketball.
Coach Bo is very hands on with his players. He takes pride in teaching them the solid fundamentals of the game. He is going to push you to get better.
If you wanna improve your basketball skill , you would better build your body, improve your endurance and then start the fundamental practice. Those are what I am doing with Coach Jelani. He helps me rebuild my body and fundamental in and out of the course. It’s great to train with him to improve my endurance and fundamental skills.
Greeting, my name is Dexter Smith ,and I currently play Division I basketball at Florida A&M University. I am a redshirt junior this year after recently recovering from a stress fracture in my left foot. After almost a six month recovery my overall conditioning and skill was at an overall low. Returning to Chicago for my summer break I’ve contacted Coach Bo whom took me under his wing and with his understanding of skill development boosted my skill, basketball IQ, toughness, and most of all my shooting. Going through almost a six week process there has been a monumental growth in confidence as a basketball player. I’ve known Coach Bo for almost 3 plus years ,and from the time we have started training he quickly gained my respect with his incredible patience, vigilance ,and accountably he holds to his players.
Not only will he only train you ,but with great work ethic he would also put your name out there to college coaches. A man that genuinely wants to see all of his athletes succeed on and off the court.
The list of upstanding things I could say about Coach Bo could go on forever.
Trust Coach Bo
Trust the process of the GRIT N GRIND.The workouts are very intense and tough.
Working with Fundamentally Sound Basketball Training was great, in which it helped me improved as a basketball player physically and mentally. I would most definitely recommend this to individuals who are trying to become better basketball players.
The condition with the tough drills we do I feel are going to help me in a high level game intensity to be successful.
It’s the best trainer in Chicago. I have been to many trainers and Jelani Boline is the best. From skill development to game skill, Coach Bo is the best. He’s transformed my game to allow me to play on Varsity.
