ABOUT US

OUR MISSION

Basketball is the vehicle. Life is the destination.

At Hested Hoops, we don't just train athletes. We develop better players, better people, and better leaders.

The discipline, confidence, and resilience built in this gym don't stay in the gym.

They show up in classrooms, in relationships, and in every room your athlete walks into.

We attack weaknesses.
We build strengths.
We develop leaders.
We train for success beyond the court.

This is not a drill factory. This is not a highlight reel gym. This is a development program built on structure, intention, and standards that never drop.

Every rep has a purpose here.

Every player is seen here.

Every session is built to make your athlete better not just busier.

FOUNDER & HEAD TRAINER

BRETT HESTED

Brett has been developing basketball players in Minnesota for over 10 years. In that time he has trained athletes at every level — from youth players just learning the game to college and professional players refining their craft. He didn’t build Hested Hoops to be the biggest gym in the area. He built it to be the best development experience available. That means smaller groups, structured sessions, and a system that actually teaches players how to think — not just what to do. That system is TDSE. Every session at Hested Hoops is built around it. Every trainer is certified in it. Every player learns through it. The results speak for themselves. Hested Hoops athletes have gone on to compete at the D1, D2, D3, and NAIA level. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because the work here is intentional from day one.
