Welcome to 1 Percent Performance & Training

Deontei is the Founder and CEO of 1%, a brand built on the philosophy that elite performance is the result of relentless, marginal gains. He has spent countless hours traveling and honing his skills as an athlete, while networking and learning from industry icons like Ganon Baker.

His expertise is defined by a rare "full-spectrum" coaching perspective. Deontei’s experience spans the entire player pathway:

• The Collegiate Edge: Serving as a JUCO coach, he understands the grit and tactical IQ required to survive and thrive at the next level.
• Elite Development: He has trained Division 1 athletes, refining the high-level details that separate the good from the great.
• The Foundation: From middle school sports to grassroots programs, Deontei is equally passionate about installing the fundamental habits and "1%" mindset into the next generation.

Deontei’s passion for the game is unmatched, but it’s his ability to translate high-level collegiate concepts into actionable growth for younger players that truly sets him apart. He is dedicated to helping every athlete—regardless of their starting point—climb the ladder toward their highest potential.
