Assistant Coach Josh Baker Bachelor of Arts, History/Teaching (2003) Brigham Young University Master of Science, Physical Education (2005) Brigham Young University Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Certified Personal Trainer 206-878-3710 x3997 jbaker@highline.edu

 Josh Baker joined the Highline Community College Men’s Basketball coaching staff in summer, 2005.  He spent the previous 5 years working in Strength and Conditioning at Brigham Young University under Jay Omer, in Provo, Utah.  The love of basketball and being able to be on the court lured him away from training college, Olympic and professional athletes.  “When I got into strength and conditioning the whole purpose was to make me a better basketball coach.  The worst part was not being on the court coaching every day!"

    Josh has a history of bringing out the best in his players.  He has coached with Renton Select basketball, Hazen High School (Renton, WA), Orem High School (Orem, UT) and summer camps.  He summarizes his philosophy as “I use every possible tool to develop each individual, as a complete student, athlete, and person.  In the quest for success there is no substitute for desire, hard work and a good attitude.”

     Coach Baker is a full-time faculty at Highline Community College and thoroughly enjoys the interaction with his students. Josh and his wife, Toni, have two daughters, Becca Rose and Jocelyn.

“Coach Baker’s strength and conditioning expertise and knowledge of the game has been of tremendous value to our student-athletes. He has a genuine desire to not only push them to be their best athletically but to be a mentor as they continue the path to manhood.” –Coach Dawson
