Britton Johnsen

I am very excited to announce the addition of former Ute and NBA player Britton Johnsen to FLEX Athletic Performane!  FLEX is quickly distinguishing itself as the best training facility this state has to offer and with the addition of Britton our basketball program will be unmatched.  I watched Britton take Utah to the final four and followed his career closely after that.  You couldn't ask for a better person and role model to work on your son's and daughter's basketball skills.  Britton will be doing all the on-court skills training such as rebounding, defense, mental game, shooting, and dribbling while I will continue to train our athletes strength, power, explosiveness, and speed.  This is a deadly combination for basketball athletes who wish to tap into their full potential.  I cannot wait to see the difference it makes in these young kids careers.  Myself and Britton are a great fit because our careers took similar paths.  We had to work extremely hard to reach our childhood dreams.  We had to fight, claw, and scrape our way into the professional levels of our sport and we learned extremely valuable lessons along the way.  These lessons will be shared with our athletes on a daily basis.

Without further ado Here is Britton's Bio:


Britton Johnsen is a Utah native, born and raised in Murray Utah. He graduated from Murray High school where he was awarded the McDonalds All American, Parade All American and Utah’s Mr. Basketball 1997. He went on to play for the University of Utah under Rick Majerus and played a key role in their best season Final Four run. He received Mountain West Conference Player of the year 2002-2003. After an injury plagued senior season he was an undrafted rookie and through hard work earned himself a spot on the Orlando Magic roster. The following years he played for the Indiana Pacers, and the New Orleans Hornets. In 2008 he played with the summer league squad of the Utah Jazz at the Rocky Mountain Revue and with the Jazz during their preseason training camp. He continued his career spending some time in the minor leagues then took his game overseas playing for Spain, France, Turkey, and Greece.

Britton has utilized his experience of playing for several different coaches from the NBA, Europe, and College. He has created a series of different workouts to fit all positions in basketball. He believes the main ingredient is hard work, through strength and conditioning and learning the proper fundamentals to bring out the best talents in athletes.

“I’m excited to team up with John Madsen, because what he offers is the key ingredient for all athletes to reach their highest potential. His strength and speed training program will give basketball players the confidence they need to step on the court and know they are at their best!”
