Meet Coach Pitts
Bernard Pitts, CEO of Pitts Academy, LLC, is a native of College Park, Ga., and has always had a deep-rooted passion for the sport of basketball. His experience includes playing at both the high school and collegiate levels. After earning his associate’s degree in education and starting a career in an Atlanta-area school system, he was able to combine his affinity for basketball with his role as an educator and step into his calling as a basketball trainer.
He established a basketball program at the elementary school where he worked, and coached an undefeated, championship-winning team during the program’s inaugural year. After a successful first season, Coach Pitts understood his purpose and went on to pursue a bachelor’s degree in sports management to better position himself to move forward as a trainer.
He continued to train athletes and perfect his craft while completing his degree program. Today, Coach Pitts has developed a glowing reputation for pouring into his players and imparting principles and wisdom they can apply to their lives on and off the court. Thanks to his consistency and dedication, Pitts Academy is well on its way to becoming one of the nation’s renowned basketball training programs.
