Ori has played basketball at various competitive levels since he was a child. After playing in a summer league going into college, he had a career ending injury which lead him to the physio center where he found his new passion… training.

As a young player Ori was always interested in jumping and dunking, he would spend his time researching vertical technique and ways to improve leaping abilities until he was able to dunk at the age of 16.

This later helped Ori develop a jumping program which has helped various athletes add numerous inches to their verticals throughout the years.

Ori has also coached basketball at many different levels from a summer camp in Malibu, California to Westdale high school in Hamilton. Ori enjoys teaching players the fundamentals of the game as well as the importance of the fitness side of basketball.
