Coach Packie and Bianca Turner founded Unlimited Potential Basketball (UPBasketball) in 2016 with a simple mission: to help young athletes grow both on and off the court.

Coach Packie played varsity basketball at Fort Bragg High School before continuing his career at Holy Names University in Oakland, where he earned his degree in Sport Management. Bianca, a graduate of Santa Clara University with a degree in Marketing, helped bring the vision of UPBasketball to life.

Coach Packie began training athletes while still in high school and went on to work with players at every level—including professionals—after college. Together, he and Bianca built UPBasketball from the ground up. Within a year, they opened what is now the UPBasketball Training Facility in Burlingame.

Today, they are raising their three daughters in Burlingame and are proud to be part of the local community. Their passion goes beyond basketball—they are committed to helping young athletes build confidence, leadership, and life skills that extend far beyond the game.

As head trainer, Coach Packie works with athletes of all ages and skill levels. Alongside the UPBasketball staff, he has created an environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to step outside their comfort zones.

At UPBasketball, every session is intentional. We focus on quality training, game-like reps, and real skill development—not just running through drills. Our approach is built around mastering the fundamentals and helping athletes understand the game, so they can perform with confidence in real situations.

We follow a development model similar to those used in top European programs—prioritizing long-term growth over short-term results. That means teaching players how to think the game, compete the right way, and build habits that lead to lasting success.

Most importantly, we believe training at a young age is about more than basketball. It’s about helping kids develop discipline, confidence, resilience, and a strong work ethic during some of the most important years of their lives.

Because in the end, the goal isn’t just to build better players—it’s to help shape confident, capable young people.
