Built on Family, Fueled by Passion
Kwan and Amber’s story is more than basketball—it’s about legacy, family, and impact. They met in 2003 while playing professionally in Israel, and their shared love for the game evolved into a mission to empower athletes worldwide.
Now, as parents to three young children (all under the age of five), they are building something greater than just a training program. They are laying the foundation for the future of sports.
Why NLAE is Different
Unlike traditional training programs, NLAE isn’t confined to one system. We focus on ALL athletes—mainstream, homeschool, nontraditional, and those overlooked by the system. The training and mentorship we provide are designed to give players an unfair advantage by exposing them to advanced techniques, professional insights, and elite-level coaching that most would never receive.
Our goal? To ensure that every athlete, no matter where they come from, gets the absolute best shot at success.
Welcome to Next Level Athletic Enhancements—where we don’t just train athletes. We build legacies.
