Coach G
Teaches basketball and NCAA athlete mentoring in Nashville, Tennessee
Building guards who can score and create
I’m Galen Campbell, a former Division I basketball player focused on developing skilled, confident, high IQ guards. My approach comes from years of playing and studying the game while learning from both my strengths and struggles as a player. Through Elite Guard Development, I combine old school fundamentals with modern creativity in a structured development system. Each player receives clear goals, organized sessions, and weekly homework designed to reinforce skills and accelerate progress. I develop complete guards with the confidence, IQ, and bag full of tricks to attack any defense.

The Foundation
Basketball has been part of my life from the beginning, shaped by my own playing experience and more than 25 years of mentorship. My greatest basketball influences have been both my parents. They built the foundation for how I understood and approached the game. My father, Rick Campbell, was a Junior College All-American at Hiwassee, where he led the country in scoring before playing at Middle Tennessee State and becoming a 2 time All-OVC selection. He was later drafted by the Utah Jazz in 1982 after upsetting Kentucky in the NCAA Tourney. He later coached more than 25 DI players, including one NBA Draft pick, along with countless DII, DIII, NAIA and JUCO players. My mother, Beverly Campbell, formerly Beverly McCowan, played Division I basketball at Oral Roberts. Both were two sport All-State athletes and later coached together in YBOA and AAU. I was coached for 7 years by Tennessee All-American and 1987 Chicago Bulls draft pick Tony White, who helped mentor me throughout my career. I also played for 5-time State Champion Jody Wright and later for Cuonzo Martin and Donnie Tyndall at Tennessee, who have both coached teams to Sweet 16 appearances.

What Students Say
Jordan
7 lessons
Working with Coach G has really helped me improve my game. We started with baby steps by learning the footwork first, then practicing the movements without the ball. From there, we added stationary ball handling, movement with the ball, and eventually used those same moves to create shots. We worked on advanced moves inspired by players like James Harden, and I liked how everything built on what I learned before. The workouts helped me understand not just how to do a move, but how to use it in a real game.

I loved how technical Coach G was with developing the offensive moves he was teaching me. He literally starts at A and brings you to Z with the movement of your feet body and ball and bringing it all together.

Coach G helped me with fixing my shot and having the correct form to shoot the ball and following through. He also taught me the fundamentals of dribbling the basketball with my fingertips.

Coach G is very patient with my son Jayden. He explains each move in a way that is easy to understand. Jayden is more confident now and loves going to training. — Ashley, Jayden’s mom
