My son was very happy with first session. He said now he knows how to do better during the game.
Thank you Coach.
Brian (CoachUp client)
Coach BJ brings a unique combination of adept knowledge and ability to relate the knowledge to kids. His communication skills match his hoops knowledge as He takes a keen personal interest in what my son needs, then uses a seemingly limitless number of drills at his disposal to target lessons accordingly. My sons game has taken off in the 6 weeks We've been working w/ coach BJ.

Great coach for my Daughter Samantha! Sammy wanted to improve her lay ups and shooting while also gaining ball handling skills. After only one session, her lay ups improved to the point where she is comfortable going for them in games, and she makes them! She and Coach continue to work on more advanced ball handling skills and she loves her sessions with Coach BJ. He's also very flexible on where and when the sessions are! We plan on a long term relationship with Coach BJ.

Very patient and is able to pass on his skills to others. I highly recommend this coach. He goes out of his way to help the player.
Sandra Warner, parent (Testimonial)
My son Travis Warner became acquainted with BJ while he was living on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts. BJ saw potential in him and took him under his tutelage. As a result my son was able to improve upon various aspects, namely dribbling, shooting and knowing the do's and don'ts when warming up. The lessons learned were invaluable and as a result my son hopes to one day become an international basketball coach. BJ is a very dedicated coach and I recommend him most highly for any future endeavours in basketball. We were sorry he had to go back to the States. Coaches like him are sadly lacking, as there is not much dedication to the finer aspects of sports in St. Kitts. He is a coach extraordinaire. Much success BJ. Keep up the good work and dedication.
Helen Ryan, parent of personal coaching students (Testimonial)
I booked Bernard for an entire Summer for an hour every morning for my two boys 6 and 8. A hard task to keep boys enthusiastic in the scorching heat of a St Kitts summer. Coach Mumford not only totally enthused the boys, I now have two complete basketball fans, but also instilled discipline and respect. I collected happy, beaming boys everyday. Gifted teachers are rare, Bernard is a treasure.
