Zach Cohen is an experienced educator, coach, and performance trainer with over 20 years of dedicated work in youth development and athletic training. As a licensed K–12 Physical Education teacher in the Clark County School District (CCSD), Zach brings a firsthand understanding of the challenges faced by students in under-resourced communities—particularly those attending Title I schools.   

​

Motivated by a deep passion for equity and empowerment, Zach founded The L.A.B. to create accessible, high-impact basketball training programs for student-athletes of all backgrounds. His goal is to use basketball as a transformative tool—not only to develop game performance, but to teach essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline, responsibility, and character.

​

Zach’s educational expertise allows him to recognize and adapt to diverse learning styles, which he integrates into every facet of The L.A.B.’s programming. His unique training approach focuses on developing the whole athlete—physically, mentally, emotionally, and academically—so they can reach their full potential on and off the court.

​

At The L.A.B., Zach’s vision is clear: to help young athletes build confidence, achieve their personal goals, and establish habits for long-term success. He believes in every player's ability to grow, and he is committed to guiding them through a journey that goes far beyond the game.
