About Your In Season Trainers

He went on to play at St. Olaf, graduating in 2014, and helped guide the Oles to the school’s first ever MIAC Championship and NCAA Tournament Appearance. Since graduating he has coached the Minnesota Heat’s top boys teams at the 13U-17U levels, served as an Assistant Coach at Hamline University and trained players of all ages throughout the metro area, including many in the Mounds View district.

Pat Freeman's Group - Traveling

grew up in Champlin and played college basketball at Saint Marys University in Winona. After graduation I spent 4 years with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx and now work with Midwest 3 on 3. I have been training youth organizations across the north metro the past 7 years and we have recently grown our team. Our goal with the team training sessions during season is to connect with the coach in advance to find 2-4 areas your team is struggling with. We then come in with a different voice preaching a similar message to your team with hopefully some new drills that you can continue to use throughout the year.
