Bio
Mary Beth Sanchez
We have hired Duez to work with our sons one on one for Basketball fundamentals, as well as our sons have played for the Iowa Pump N Run organization. Duez brings an energy and passion for the game that is not always found in coaches. His desire to help student athletes become the best they can be is evident in a number of ways, not just on the court. He cares about the kids acedemically and in life in general. It isn't just about winning the games, it's about progressing as a player, an individual and a team. I highly recommend him and his organizations to anyone considering them!
Dr. Lowell Wightman
To understand Duez's passion for the game of basketball you can review the many video moments of his successful college career at the University of Iowa. As an Iowa Alumni and basketball player I have admired Duez's skill as a player and his commitment to team play. Over the past four years I have watched Duez develop his talents as a player into a carrying skillful basketball coach. His compassion for the development of each student athlete regardless of their talent is genuine and very authentic. That could explain why children of all ages have been drawn to Duez. I believe it is because of his love for the game and the respect of student athletes has been foundational to his business success. If you are looking for a resource to develop basketball skill and game intelligence Duez Henderson will consider the person while developing player skills. I am proud to consider Duez as a professional colleague, friend and Hawkeye Alumni.
