Founder of Gym Rats Basketball and Former Pro Athlete Rick Barrett

Rick and Shaq

The founder of the Gym Rats basketball program in New Jersey, Rick Barrett has coached dozens of NBA and college-level athletes, and hundreds of high school athletes over the years.

He played college ball and then professionally in Argentina before he started down his journey of helping athletes get scholarships and helping them grow their lives and careers.  

He was a huge presence in my life from an early age, and I will always thank him for that, and I realize that without him, I wouldn't have had much of a basketball career.
