" Omar Coles is special coach who inspires those around him. I work directly with Omar in a volunteer program and one of the main reasons I turn up each week is to hear him speak. The best leaders are genuine and speak from their own experience. Omar has a great breadth of life-experience and knows what it takes to turn things around and achieve something special. I would trust this man with my life and fully support him in his work."

" I have come to know Omar through my volunteer work at Helping Hoops, a charity providing basketball clinics to underprivileged kids. Since joining Helping Hoops I have seen kids and volunteers thrive under his leadership and ability to identify the best qualities in everyone. He is an outstanding coach and always stresses the importance of making the most of what you put your time into. Omar's various roles throughout his career have equipped him with the knowledge to help others effectively deal with life matters and reach their goals. I strongly recommend him as a life coach for anyone looking to find purposeful direction or simply for personal development."

" I have had the pleasure of working with Omar at helping hoops as an Assistant Coach. The way he interacted with the children we coached and our peers always had purpose. Omar does an incredible job of bringing to light the bigger picture and questioning the status quo. I think it's these traits in Omar that allow him to give priceless insight to what seemed any situation. Omar understands people and I think this is why I related to him tremendously well during my time with him. I would recommend Omar to anyone in need of consultation with regards to any life challenge or goal. Omar, thank you for always giving me a challenge, and your fascinating perspective on life."

" Omar Coles is the type of coach who helps everyone achieve their best, regardless of age, ethnicity or background. He always throws himself into each situation and leads by example. Working with him each week at a volunteer program, I have come to greatly appreciate his guidance in many aspects of my own life."

" Omar has a great gift for peeling away the layers of the most complicated situation to find the real issues, whether they be related to work, self esteem, self development or relationships. This allows Omar to quickly identify the areas which need to be focused on. He is a natural teacher and inspires you to inspire yourself. He simply explains complex concepts in an engaging way. Omar also has such a diverse and interesting background that gives enormous credibility to his consulting. So it's time for you to "drop your excuses and pick up a purpose!" as Omar says. "

" “I have seen Omar Coles in action as a Self-Defense Coach and as a Basketball Coach and in both methods Omar empowers his students with discipline, integrity and self-respect. Everything Omar teaches is clearly embedded in the philosophy of managing your mind and your body and developing “mental mastery” as he calls it. His demeanour is warm and approachable and when he speaks, everyone listens especially the kids at Helping Hoops who don’t realise the life-lessons he is teaching him while they develop their Basketball skills. I imagine in years to come they’ll look back and understand just how much of an impact he had on their lives, even if right now he's just a great coach who makes them laugh. Plus he's got some sweet dance moves too". "

" Omar Coles is not only an amazing basketball Coach but a caring mentor who is one of a kind. Omar’s uplifting, positive and fun nature is infectious to be around and he always leaves you with wanting more. His special connection with my Son at Helping Hoops was developed immediately upon a great understanding of each other. Omar is a gifted listener who invests time to inspire and support all children’s needs. Omar has empowered my Son by believing in him which has allowed him to find his inner strength to shine and believe in his uniqueness to see the world differently. During Covid 19, My Son’s mental health hit rock bottom. Omar’s support and guidance at this time was invaluable, he offered our family advice not to be found anywhere else and was the only person to be able to immediately help us. Omar sparked my Son’s soul back to happiness and it felt like a weight had been lifted from our heart and minds. Omar is a trustworthy supporter and someone you wish to be friends with for life. Our Family is truly blessed to have crossed paths with such a wise, comforting, gentle giant. I highly recommend Omar Coles and his impressive services, he will leave an incredible imprint in your heart forever. "
