Fall Trainers of the Season: Eric Johnson & Jonah Harris

At Evolution Basketball, our trainers are the heartbeat of every session — bringing energy, leadership, and a commitment to development that sets the tone for our athletes. This season, we’re excited to highlight two coaches who have made a tremendous impact across our programs: Eric Johnson and Jonah Harris.

🏀 Eric Johnson – Advanced Training

Eric has been a force in our Merrifield gym since the summer, leading the Advanced Training program with unmatched intensity and purpose. A former college basketball player at Caldwell University, Eric brings real playing experience to every session, teaching the details of the game while pushing athletes to grow beyond their comfort zone.

This past fall, Eric trained five days a week, and this winter he stepped it up even further — coaching six days a week while consistently stepping in to sub whenever needed. His dedication is felt on the court daily, and athletes feed off his energy and passion. Eric is constantly raising the bar, and his commitment to bringing the best out of every player has made him a standout this season.

🏀 Jonah Harris – Fundamental Training

Though still relatively new to Evolution, Jonah has quickly become an incredibly strong on-court presence. He began his journey with us at our Beaumeade location, where his positivity, teaching style, and ability to connect with young athletes stood out immediately.

This winter, we gave Jonah the opportunity to lead sessions at Gateway Church, and he has been crushing it from day one. His sessions are focused, energetic, and athlete-first — everything we look for in a great Fundamental trainer. Jonah’s fast rise within the program speaks to both his talent and his dedication to helping players improve.

At Evolution, we’re proud to have trainers who pour themselves into our athletes and our community. Eric and Jonah embody what it means to lead with passion, purpose, and consistency — and our athletes are better because of them.
