On a mission to build athletic mentalities in the North Bay
At BAM BAM Training, we don’t just coach. We mentor. We push. We build.
Behind the workouts and drills is a team that lives the lifestyle they preach: committed, relentless, and purpose-driven. Co-founders Will “Bull” Bullard and Steve Miksis bring decades of combined experience as athletes, coaches, and leaders who’ve walked the walk and now lead others through the same fire.
We created BAM BAM Training to serve North Bay athletes who are hungry for more: more guidance, more structure, more mentality training, and more results.
From growing up in Detroit, MI, and bouncing around to 6 different foster homes, basketball saved his life! Will went from playing only 5 varsity games in high school to a freshman 2nd team All-American, an All Conference Honorable mention his sophomore year, and earning a Division 1 full ride Scholarship to Texas A&M-C.C. Will attended the New York Jets Rookie Camp and had a show-stopping 15-year career with the Harlem Globetrotters.
Will has appeared on American Ninja Warrior 3 times, appeared on VICE “The Hermit Kingdom” with Kim Jong-un, as well as numerous other TV shows! Will Bullard brings more to the table than highlight reels. He brings the mindset it takes to perform at the elite level, day in and day out, and his overall knowledge of developing athletes into elite athletes is a process and journey that is AMAZING to watch and be a part of!
In the world of athletic training and development, experience matters, and Will has over a decade of experience to share with his fellow aspiring athletes, including:
He has trained, played, and competed at the highest levels of professional sports and won a battle with stage 2 throat cancer. Will now channels that passion into developing young athletes to compete with purpose and train with discipline, all while encouraging and inspiring those around him to advocate for their health. Whether it’s in the gym or off the court, Will A.K.A “Bull” is focused on teaching the game the right way and preparing his athletes mentally and physically for whatever’s next, By Any Means.
BAM is the evolution of Stephen Miksis meeting and joining a high school in Northern California by random chance via a work colleague. He was introduced to a top-tier athlete and head women’s basketball coach, William Bullard, at St. Vincent de Paul in Petaluma. Stephen chose the path less traveled, which made all the difference.
What made Stephen an incredible athlete was not the coaches, but the elite players he trained with. Their intrinsic knowledge was passed down to him, and it had a core that he embraced. He told them to make him an athlete, and he would listen.
Steve’s awards include:
Injury prevention is essential to Stephen because he followed all the instructions, but he faced life-changing injuries. It comes down to mental health, core strength, confidence, and vertical leap, encompassing body and mind.
When a door opens and you see such talent in William Bullard and Hannah Dillingham, you run through it. Stephen's goal as CEO is to augment all sports in Sonoma, Napa, and Marin with specialized training and assessments by individuals who have overcome obstacles on many levels and are here to guide and support student-athletes from novice to elite.
When it comes to developing basketball players with heart, hustle, and high IQ, AJ Crosby brings the full package. A former collegiate hooper from Southwestern Adventist University, AJ’s love for the game runs deep, and now he’s channeling that passion into shaping the next generation of athletes.
Currently the Varsity Basketball Coach at Healdsburg High School, AJ has years of basketball coaching experience under his belt, including four impactful seasons as the JV Head Coach and Varsity Assistant at Rancho Cotate High School. His coaching style blends discipline with encouragement, ensuring every athlete he works with feels seen, supported, and driven to improve.
AJ is a firm believer that greatness is built through grit, fundamentals, and smart reps, and he brings that mindset to every BAM BAM training session he oversees. With AJ in your corner, you’re not just training — you’re leveling up. Let’s get to work!
