Coach Michael came well prepared, he is knowledgeable about the game and detailed about the specific positions. Looking forward to upcoming sessions.

Coach Michael does an excellent job coaching my 13 year old grandson in baseball. My grandson likes him a lot!

Productive training, helps players improve the game and excel in skill sets.

Good price, great communication, happy with the first training.

Was amazing!!!!

Excellent session. Michael went above and beyond by finding an indoor venue since it was raining. He was patient and very instructive. Highly recommend.

It was great and he took me through some of what it takes to be a great running back

Coach Mike is very good he taught me to build confidence in myself and he helped me improve a lot since I started with him last year overall he helps you anyway I would recommend him if you want to learn 100%

Unfortunately we had issues with scheduling and communication. Several times sessions were cancelled/missed without notification. Just seemed like it wasn't a priority.

Coach Michael Matthews made sure my daughter understood the mechanics of holding a softball and different techniques of how to pitch. He was very nice and patience. He was prompt and very professional. He made the sessions fun, productive and kept her focused. I can wait to schedule another session!

Coach Michael was great. After one lesson I noticed a difference in my son's patience and throwing ability. He takes time with the kids and is calm and keeps with them till they get it right!

Choose Coach Mike to evaluate and refine my 8 year old QB skills to make him more mobile in the pocket and focus down field for better pass judgment. Also to brake him of some of his bad habits, so far so good.

I had a great first session with Coach Mike. Looking forward to the rest of our sessions.

My skills are improving soon I will be where I want to be skill wise

Jake is progressing nicely. At first he was defeated, felt like he didn't know what he was doing. Coach Mike was honest and direct. Really teaching the fundamentals of the game and letting my son know when he could do better. This was a perfect way for us to enter into baseball for the first time. Jake's confidence grows each week.

Coach Mike was fantastic!! Very knowledgable and personable. He listened to what my son wanted to work on and coached him through it! My son had 5 sessions with coach Mike and looked forward to each one. He is very dependable and listens to what you have to say! I will definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their game!

Coach Michael was extremely accommodating. He gave my son great strategies to use in between sessions to improve his strength and conditioning. We plan to see him again soon!

My 7 year old absolutely loved his session. Will be booking more sessions with Coach Mike!

We love Coach Michael. Jonathan is motivated and ready to learn, and Coach Michael keeps his attention for the full hour. My son is always excited to go to his coaching sessions, and comes home happy and ready to work on his new skills. This is his first time with a trainer, and it has been worth every penny.

Coach Mike is great with my 8 year old who is trying out for QB. He comes prepared with a game plan and works very well with my son. I bring one of his friends each time to assist with running patterns and taking handoffs and pitches and even their dads are like, " this guy is great". I am very critical of coaches as I coach myself and feel confident recommending Coach Mike for football. Moving forward as the lessons are running out, I am looking at signing up with Mike for a 10 package to carry us through the summer.

After just one session I have seen such a confidence booster in my son. He had a great time training and has taken the tools and techniques taught by Coach Michael and is using them everyday. I can't wait to see his next game and watch him use what he learned.
