Born and raised in Winnipeg, Isayas has had a passion for basketball since a very young age, playing at the YMCA and for DMCI. Isayas was also one of the original members of the Triumph program.

Isayas' ambitions as a player led him to adopt a high energy style of play and prioritize defense as a calling card. As a coach, Isayas' attention to details is becoming a strong point, as is his ability to communicate and relate to the players.

​

Isayas currently studies at the University of Winnipeg, along with working with the Boys & Girls Clubs and several other inner-city institutions. Isayas cares greatly about his community which has resulted in his position as the Underclassmen Program Coordinator for Triumph.

Isayas will be pursuing a more formal coaching resume as an NCCP certified coach. At a young age, and with a significant amount of practical experience, Isayas is going to be a rising star in youth basketball coaching.
