Client Reviews
Meghana (CoachUp client)
Coach Cory has been great with our son during his one-on-one basketball training sessions. His approach is not only professional and structured but also incredibly encouraging, helping build skills like shooting, footwork and overall understanding of the sport. Highly recommend him to any parent looking for personalized and impactful coaching!
John (CoachUp client)
My 10-year old son has been having great 1:1 training sessions with Coach Cory - would definitely recommend him to other parents and players. His initial assessment was very helpful (and fun for my son). They’ve been working on his overall form and technique - my son even writes down all of his tips and suggestions to keep them in mind before games. We’ve already seen improvement on his shooting form and agility & speed. Coach Cory has been incredibly responsive with communication and setting up sessions. Overall, this is exactly the dynamic and 1:1 coaching I was hoping for when I found him on CoachUp. A++++++
Brian (CoachUp client)
Coach Cory has been an incredible introduction to basketball for our 7-year-old, who is new to the sport but full of energy and excitement to learn. From the very first session, Coach Cory demonstrated patience, encouragement, and a clear understanding of how to teach young beginners in a fun, engaging way. He breaks down fundamentals into easy-to-understand drills while keeping the sessions upbeat and confidence-building. Our child looks forward to every lesson and is already showing moderate improvement in coordination and ball-handling. We’re so grateful to have found a coach who not only teaches skills but also fosters a true love for the sport with children.
Mark (CoachUp client)
Coach Cory is awesome. He is doing a great job in improving James basketball skills. Look forward to his next session.
Andrew (CoachUp client)
Cory is a fantastic coach! We engaged him to support our son's basketball development and have been really happy with his approach, enthusiasm, communication, and reliability. He mixes in a combination of endurance, agility, and skill work - all of which have helped our son be more confident and effective on the court. Some of the agility and lateral movement drills have also benefited our son in soccer as well. Thank you, Cory!
Leiron (CoachUp client)
Coach Cory is a very professional coach. He has excellent planning skills. I was very impressed with his approach to bringing out the competitive edge and will of his trainee. I would definitely refer him to anyone that is in need of a dedicated coach.
Paul (CoachUp client)
Cory is a fantastic coach! He spent time upfront understanding what my daughter was looking to achieve with the coaching sessions and has tailored his program to fit her goals. Cory is always positive and energetic with my daughter, which helps keep her focused on every drill. He always makes sure she is comfortable with the drills and is very attentive to her comfort level. Our daughter is on our town’s 7th grade travel team and ever since we started doing sessions with Cory her confidence and skill level on the court has improved tremendously. My daughter really enjoys working with Coach Cory. We would highly recommend him as a coach!!!
Laura (CoachUp client)
Great coach, able to build quick rapport with my son. Committed to providing 5 star service to his clients.
Ursula (CoachUp client)
Cory’s focus goes beyond just being a basketball coach. While he uses basketball as a way to train (both from a physical fitness and technical perspective), his methods also instills confidence to help build as strengthen self esteem and self confidence. He listens to me as a parent with some of the academic and instructional challenges we’ve experienced with my son. While maintaining the confidence of my child, he is also helping me support my child with his self esteem and self confidence. Highly recommend Coach Cory!
John (parent of client) (Testimonial)
He is really enjoying the sessions and said he likes that you tell him where to tweak his form and technique and he feels like its already making a huge difference 2 sessions in.
Paul K. (Parent of Client) (Testimonial)
