DAVIS BELFORD

Team Coach - Ignite Hoops

Davis grew up in Arlington Heights, IL and played for Coach Austin Scott during his two-year stint on the varsity team at Hersey High School. He went on to attend the University of Missouri, where he graduated with a degree in Business Management.

With experience as both a coach and training lead, Davis has worked with athletes of all levels, from elementary to high school. He takes pride in his attention to detail, constantly seeking new ways to develop his players both on and off the court. His coaching philosophy is built on challenging athletes in practice and fostering critical thinking, teaching them ‘how’ to think rather than ‘what’ to think.

Players who have played under Davis know that his expectations are clear - ‘Control what you can control.’ His commitment to player development and leadership make him a valuable part of our program. We are proud to have Davis on the Ignite team, confident that he not only upholds our core values but also instils them in every athlete he coaches.
