Hello
Hi, I’m Virgil Akers Jr. At Heart Desire Belief Training, I believe that true transformation starts with the right mindset. My approach is backed by over 20 years of coaching and my own journey as a former college basketball player, but more importantly, it’s backed by my daily life. I don’t just coach athletes and weight-loss seekers; I live the discipline I teach. Whether you're a young competitor looking for an edge or someone reclaiming your health, I’m here to help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
My Story
Virgil Akers Jr. is a proven champion both on and off the court. A two-time Indiana State Champion at Ben Davis High School (1996–1997), Virgil built a foundation of discipline, leadership, and relentless work ethic early in his basketball journey.
In 2006, his commitment to excellence earned him a USCAA Division II National Championship along with USCAA Division II All-American honors—cementing his legacy as a competitor who rises to the moment when it matters most.
Virgil’s impact continues through coaching. In 2023, he helped lead Ben Davis High School to a historic 33–0 undefeated season as an Assistant Coach, guiding the next generation with the same passion and standards that shaped his own career.
Whether he’s coaching basketball, traveling countless miles for AAU games, or putting in work at the gym, Virgil is always ready to serve, teach, and lead. That same dedication carries into his personal life, where he is a devoted father and a highly qualified behavioral specialist within the Indianapolis Public Schools system.
At his core, Virgil believes in effort, accountability, and growth—values that define his approach to coaching, mentoring, and life. His mission is simple: help people reach their full potential, on the court and beyond.
