JARED JENKINS
HEAD TRAINER / DIRECTOR, BASKETBALL OPERATIONS
Coach Jared was born and raised in Dallas and attended Irving Nimitz High School. He went on to play collegiate ball at Northwestern Oklahoma State. From there, he transferred to Richland Community college. After leading Richland to a nationally ranked season, he went to UT Tyler to finish his career.
Coach Jared led UT Tyler to its first Division II victory in their first year transitioning up a level. After his playing career, Coach Jared moved back to Dallas and started training ever since.
"Training basketball players is deeply fulfilling because it allows me to be part of their journey, helping to shape not just their skills but their future. A coach can profoundly alter the trajectory of a player’s career, turning potential into success and guiding them toward goals they once thought unattainable."
MATT MILLER
FOUNDER
Miller grew up in Aurora, IL and played basketball collegiately and professionally before starting the brand. On September 23rd, 2009 Matt started M14Hoops.

With the facility officially opening, M14Hoops increased their ability to develop basketball players by starting teams as well as offering speed, agility, and strength training. The facility offers complete player development both on and off the court.
A word from Matt: In those early days, I didn't have a clue about business. I just wanted to help each player I came in contact with get better. It was an obsession. I constantly studied the game of basketball, athletic movements, communication and tried to perfect my craft to the best of my ability.
The M14Hoops Chicagoland location now trains over 3,000 players annually and the impact on the western suburbs of Chicago has continued to grow tremendously. M14Hoops Chicago offers not only training, but teams as well as speed and agility training for complete player development. With over 20 employees in place to manage day to day operations; M14Hoops has a great team in place and looks forward to a bright future of training youth basketball players!
