Here, at the Downtown Athletic Club, Kaelan O’Neil stands out as a dynamic personal trainer dedicated to nurturing young athletes’ growth both on and off the court. With a rich background in basketball and a passion for holistic development, Kaelan specializes in agility, strength, and conditioning, with a particular focus on basketball training.
Kaelan’s journey in sports is rooted in his experience as a former Division I basketball player at Eastern Washington University. This firsthand exposure to high-level competition has equipped him with insights into the dedication and discipline required to excel. His time around NBA players and coaches has further enriched his understanding of the game’s nuances, allowing him to bring professional-level training techniques to his sessions.
Beyond physical training, Kaelan emphasizes the importance of attitude, coachability, and sportsmanship. He believes that sports serve as a conduit for life lessons, teaching young athletes the value of hard work, resilience, and teamwork. His sessions are designed to be engaging and fun, ensuring that kids not only develop their athletic skills but also grow as individuals. Kaelan offers personalized training sessions designed to meet each young athlete where they’re at; whether they’re just getting started or looking to take their skills to the next level. His one-on-one coaching sessions provide individualized attention and customized drills to help athletes build strength, agility, and confidence. For those who thrive in a shared environment, Kaelan also offers buddy sessions – perfect for siblings or friends with similar skill levels who want to train together in a fun, supportive setting.
His primary focus is working with youth ages 8 and up, but he understands that some younger children are eager to get moving too. If your child is under 8 and shows an early interest in sports or fitness, Kaelan is happy to discuss potential accommodations to ensure the experience is safe, enjoyable, and age-appropriate. Every session is shaped by Kaelan’s commitment to creating a positive, encouraging atmosphere where kids can grow as athletes and individuals.
Kaelan has flexibility and is committed to accommodating clients’ schedules. To book a session or inquire further, reach out via email at KOneil@downtownac.com. Whether your child is aiming to improve their basketball skills, enhance their overall athleticism, understand the importance of sportsmanship, or simply enjoy the benefits of structured physical activity, Kaelan is here to guide them every step of the way.
