Trainer/Founder of Wood Elite Skillz Training

Originally from Rome, Georgia, Quinton Wood, founder of Wood Elite Skillz Training, started playing basketball at the age of 6 and fell in love with the game instantly. A graduate of Coosa High School in Rome, Quinton played basketball all 4 years there and led his team in scoring his senior season. Averaging 18 points per game, he became an All-Area selection. 

Quinton played his freshman year of college at Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin, Tennessee. After one year he would transfer to Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, Iowa where he redshirted and took time to get ahead academically and improve his basketball game. After one year in Iowa Quinton transferred back to his home state of Georgia to Chattahoochee Tech College in Marietta to play his sophomore season. Averaging 10ppg he became a key player for the team. 

Quinton finished his last two seasons of collegiate basketball at Reinhardt University where he was an All-Conference selection as a junior and senior, as well as an All-American his senior season averaging 22ppg , 5apg, and scoring 1200 points in just two seasons.

After college, Quinton signed with Dynasty Sports Management Agency out of Detroit, Michigan. While under the sports agency Quinton was able to experience many professional opportunities such as the NBA Development League, semiprofessional in Atlanta and Florida, and the CIBACOPA which is a professional league in Mexico. Quinton's last professional offer came in April of 2016 to go to Bolivia and play but unfortunately he had to turn down the offer due to family. 

Quinton began training kids after he graduated college in 2014. In between professional opportunities he became very passionate about it and began to put a lot of his time and energy into it. Quinton has worked with nearly 100 kids in the local area including collegiate and professional athletes as well. 

What Our Fantastic Athletes and Parents Say

“I would absolutely recommend "Coach Q" for anyone looking to improve basketball skills. He helped my son so much with technique and ball handling. My kid always left the sessions worn out and so proud of himself with the encouragement Quinton gave him. I have recommended him to lots of families and they all thank me! ”

“I love the way Quinton breaks the individual skills down as well as challenges my daughter outside of her comfort level. In my daughters game I can see her implementing the drills that she has worked on. He brings a great mix between skill development and game enhancement. He does a great job of teaching different things he doesn't just focus on one thing. I can tell he loves what you does.”

“My son started training with Quinton when he was 7 years old after trying several other trainers. Quinton pushed him to his max in all aspects of the game. He didn't just give him a drill and watch him do it. He corrected him and made him do it till it was done right. After training with him for one season my son started playing up a grade and just made the 6th grade school travel team while only being in 4th grade. ”

“Coach Q has been very instrumental in the development of my daughters basketball skills and playing ability. My daughter came to Coach Q with one season of recreation basketball experience and had little to no coaching. She had a tremendous amount of drive and desire. Coach Q taught her the basics of the game and as she progressed, the finer points of the game. Coach Q's training and coaching, coupled with my daughters commitment to practice and her love of the game, transformed her from a pretty good first year player to the leagues top scorer and the teams MVP in her second season. Coach Q proves great coaching, discipline and desire creates champions!”

“Quinton is a professional, talented and reliable coach and trainer. He goes above and beyond for our basketball team, making practices challenging as well as rewarding. The boys look forward to practice as each session offers new skills and techniques that both strengthen the player and and the play. It is unbelievable how each player had improved and how the team has brought their learned skills together on the basketball court. 
I want to thank Quinton for a phenomenal season and for his dedication and time. I would highly recommend Quinton for any age and any level of training.”

“As a college athlete, Quinton's workout challenged me and he was there the whole time to give me pointers to help me to improve my game. The workout was specific to my position on the court and every drill he put me through helped me to improve in specific areas of my game. It is obvious that Quinton knows the game of basketball and he knows what it takes to improve one's individual game.”
