Ben Zenker's passion for basketball has been a lifelong journey. His love for IPT began in 2016, and he trained diligently with the program until his graduation from St. Mary’s High School in 2023.

After graduating, Ben transitioned into the role of a trainer during the summer of 2023. He dedicated himself to fostering a love for IPT in others, continuing this work until he left for North Dakota State University (NDSU) in the fall. In January 2024, he resumed training for IPT in the Fargo-Moorhead area, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the program.

Now back in Bismarck for the summer, Ben is eager to share and enhance basketball skills in young, aspiring athletes. His goal is not only to develop their abilities on the court but also to inspire growth in their personal lives.

Off the court, Ben plans to work full-time and pursue a coaching position at the high school level. His passion extends beyond just watching athletes improve their basketball skills; he is equally dedicated to mentoring them in the game of life, helping them grow and succeed both on and off the court.
