Train sharper.Play tougher.
CoreSports is the athletic side of CoreMinds: focused basketball coaching for players who want cleaner skills, stronger habits, smarter decisions, and more confidence every time they step on the court.

Head Basketball Coach
Kavan Dhami
Detail-first coaching built around fundamentals, intensity, and repeatable habits.
Kavan Dhami brings CoreSports a player-tested coaching style shaped by years of competitive basketball, championship teams, high-level showcases, scoring production, and regional recognition. His approach is direct and detailed: build the player's mechanics, sharpen their reads, raise their conditioning, and teach them how to compete with confidence.
Kavan works especially well with young athletes because he understands what separates casual reps from game-ready development. Sessions are built around purposeful drills, clear feedback, and workouts that match the player's age, position, strengths, and goals.
Proud of his Punjabi background, Kavan brings a strong sense of family, discipline, resilience, and community into the way he mentors players. He wants athletes to grow not just as basketball players, but as confident young people who carry effort and respect beyond the court.
