Over the past few years Corbi, who has a bachelor’s degree in physical education along with a minor in coaching from Buffalo State College, has trained some of the top players in the area. His workouts include ball handling, passing, shooting along with a highly-effective strength and conditioning program that is designed to improve strength, quickness and athleticism.

“Coach Corbi has an innovative way to teach the fundamentals of the game,” NCCC head coach Bill Beilein said. “His individual attention has helped players reach their goal of getting to the next level.”

One example of that is Isaiah Johnson, a former NCCC standout that earned a full scholarship to NCAA Division II Young Harris (Ga.) College and this past season was named to the Peach Belt Conference’s Second Team after leading his team in scoring, assists, steals and 3-point percentage.

“Coach Corbi is one of the most caring and enthusiastic people I have ever met,” Johnson said. “He’s always trying to find new ways to better his players and he gets a rush out of seeing his players succeed.”

Vince Kazmierczak, a St. Mary’s (Lancaster) graduate and former NCCC star, agreed.

“Coach Corbi is dedicated to making your game better and if you put in the work with him, the results will follow,” said Kazmierczak, who received a full scholarship to NCAA Division II Malone (Ohio) University.

Other clients of Corbi include Jon Marsh (Bennett, NCCC, Edinboro), Amir Billups (Starpoint, Fredonia State, L.A. Pro Summer League), Lucas Pichette (North Tonawanda, Pitt-Bradford), Jack Mulcahy (Niagara-Wheatfield, Nazareth) and Eric Hall (Seneca, NCCC, St. Andrew’s).

Individual 60-minute skill workouts cost $25 with 90-minute sessions priced at $35. There are discounts available when you sign up for 10 or 20 sessions at a time.
