I have coached boys and girls for about Four (4) years at all experience levels. I have also been conducting skills training for the past three (3) years. Additionally, I am also "ASFA Sports Specific Certified" which is the American Sports Fitness Association.

I'm an open book and never shy away from learning, my goal is to take everything I have learned as a young athlete and trainer as well as what I am still learning and pass it down to the next generation of athletes.

My name is Aaron Bronikowski and I am looking forward to my first season with CTX Knights. Currently I am the varsity assistant for the Austin High Lady Maroons Basketball team. I also teach 12th grade English at Austin High and coach freshman volleyball. I am currently completing my second year at Austin High.
I have been coaching basketball at various levels and capacities for the past 16 years. Prior to moving to the Austin area I lived in the Portland, Oregon area for about 11 years. I was the co-founder and director of a travel basketball club (AAU) called Rose City Basketball which provided everything from high level travel teams for middle and high school players, to a youth basketball league for ages 5 - 7 based on USA Basketball's youth development model, to private training. In addition to my club role and responsibilities, I was also the Associate Head Coach at Aloha High School in Beaverton, Oregon. I'm originally from Toledo, Ohio.
I'm excited to get started with CTX Knights because so much of my philosophy around basketball, sports and kids match up with the work they're already doing. I'm looking forward to an exciting spring/summer season.
