Mark Peters

Mark Peters is a point guard from Compton, CA who has played professionally in Spain, Germany, and China. He is the founder of CoMPeters Sports, a SoCal-based basketball training program adept at assisting its participants to excel in basketball, and in their academic and personal lives. In 2011, he was crowned Red Bull's "King of the Rock," and earned the nickname "The Heart," after winning first place in the 64-man, one-on-one, LA qualifier.

Peters attended the University of California, Riverside, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology Administrative Studies. Prior to entering his senior year at UCR, he was involved in a fatal traffic accident. His UCR teammate Kellen Dixon and frat brother Bowakim Kersey were killed instantly. Peters escaped with minor injuries. Although completley distraught for some time, Peters began unleashing his devastation on the court. That season Peters led the Highlanders in steals, assists and 3-point percentages, and received the honor of 2004 Big West Conference Player of The Week.

In 2008, he was named TBCA's (Total Basketball Camp Andorra) Defensive MVP. Subsequently, the West Coast Basketball League presented him with the "Community Relations Award" for his positive impact on the lives of aspiring young athletes.

In 2009, he played in the Las Vegas Pro-Am Tournament and earned MVP. In 2010, he participated in Versus Network's "America's Next Sports Star" reality TV show challenge. Peters defeated 200 statewide competitors and was prepared for the next phase of the competition; unfortunately, the show was cancelled prematurely.
