Robert T. Brooks, 3rd is the Executive Director and Coach of SWISH Academy, Inc. Coach Brooks is a Bronx native and a fantastic basketball coach. He played his high school years at the Dwight/Anglo-American International School winning three independent high school championships. His college years were played at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). He lives, breathes, and loves the game of basketball. He is also a great educator, mentor and father. He coaches much more than what goes on the hardwood or blacktop. He believes that “Greatness is the long term result of discipline, consistent repetition and purposeful execution.” Robert’s intent will be to assist each young male and female who enters and participates to understand that the seeds of potential are already inside them, and to give them the raw materials necessary to begin and continue the climb to reach their full potential. His dedication to our youth is both generous and inspiring to watch.
