Erick has been professional, efficient, and easy to work with in addition to having the basketball and coaching experience that we’re looking for. Besides the delivery of the education itself virtually in real-time, he’s assigned homework in the form of specific basketball drills customized to help our son with his particular needs at this time. Perhaps like most parents, it’s a constant chore to get our children to take our advice regarding important foundational training routines; however, when a coach asks and motivates them, they do it with enthusiasm. Erick holds our son accountable and encourages him, and our son has responded incredibly well.
It's been a wonderful experience, and we look forward to working with Erick for the long-term.
Jeremy (CoachUp client)
Coach Erick's workouts were fun and upbeat. He has a great attention to detail and was able to help my son with his shot form. I recommend coach Erick for players of all skill levels.
Briana (CoachUp client)
My son has been training with Coach Erick for approx 2 months. Coach Erick assessed and started with the basics to ensure my son has solid fundamental skills. His advice about basketball (and life) is making a huge impact.
Richard (CoachUp client)
Excellent
Mark (CoachUp client)
Erick V. is great. His analysis and specific/tailored approach to my son's development was second to none. He has pushed my son, to correct those underlying foundational changes to lift his entire game. We are only in week 4, but already seeing game-changing improvements.
Francesco (CoachUp client)
Great coach! Really professional and you can really achieve improvements! Recommended!
Lauren (CoachUp client)
Erick's knowledge and expertise of basketball are remarkable. He has the right attitude and enthusiasm to help my daughter reach her utmost potential. Selena already has increased motivation and self confidence. I am certain that he will be a huge asset to her mental and emotional health as well. I truly believe as a mentor, Erick will have a lasting impact on Selena for the rest of her life. This is a trainer with a passion for teaching and a commitment to helping others. When asking Selena how she felt after working with him, she gave me a meaningful smile and said, "Mom, he's great! He recognized mistakes in my mechanics right away and helped me to improve instantly."
Tenia (CoachUp client)
Coach Erick was very thorough and helpful with the sessions. I saw a change in my son’s performance at the end of the sessions. We will definitely be using him again.
Mark (CoachUp client)
Coach Erick was a great coach. He really tailors his program to each player. Our son has a very "cerebral" approach to sports and a lot of coaches have a "seat of the pants" approach that doesn't work for him. Erick is a different coach for each player and he connects to our son in a way no other coach has. Coach Erick's understanding of the game and technique is outstanding. Coach Erick works the kids really hard, but our son really looks forward to every session.
Pasqua (CoachUp client)
Very professional, positive and welcoming. My son learned so much in just one session.

Sarah (CoachUp client)
Coach Erick was great! My son has had one lesson with him to date. He has high standards and will work your athlete hard. He also introduced helpful metrics for advancement. He is definitely the right person to take an athlete to the next level. I would recommend him!
Akil (CoachUp client)
Coach Erick was great! As a parent I was looking for a trainer that was willing to be firm, hold him accountable and to help bring out the intensity.
Ismael (CoachUp client)
Coach Erick is a great trainer my son's skills have been improving and it's really noticeable. I really like his way teaching and structure.
Monique (CoachUp client)
Great coach, very detailed and helpful. One of the best I have experienced. Walks you through every step . Would definitely recommend.
Denise (CoachUp client)
Coach Erick demonstrates every bit of the Gold, 5-star rating on Coach Up. My grandson has a passion for playing basketball, but his skills, for a very tall teen, needed much development, and he needed the motivation to perform the rigorous physical requirements to achieve his goal of playing high school basketball.
My grandson has left every challenging session excited and hopeful that he can achieve his goal. He is showing a dedication towards building the necessary foundational skills. I see a definite improvement in his overall confidence, time management, hopefulness and personal growth. His physical skills have shown a marked improvement.
We are very happy, and more than satisfied, with the results thus far. Thank you, Coach Erick!
Bernie (CoachUp client)
Erick customized lessons specific to our players needs. No “cone drills” Player, and Position specific training.

Coach Erick is exactly the kind of coach I was looking for to help my son.
He is only a few lessons in but I like what I am seeing in his coaching style.
My son likes what they are working on and is looking forward to his next lesson.
Thank you
Carel (CoachUp client)
On the first day he really went into detail about mechanics with my shooting, dribbling, and driving to the lane to get a basketball and gave me good feedback to reflect on. I really enjoyed my first day and plan to continue working with Coach Erick.
Ellen (CoachUp client)
From the start Erick has been an excellent coach, who has demonstrated great flexibility with my son’s fluctuating schedule. From his drills and homework requirements to his patient feedback, my son’s gains are observable both on and off the court. With other training sessions/programs I have had to both remind son and encourage his attendance; with Erick, my son has been ready to go, practicing his homework and drills, and quite eager to continue with more sessions!

Coach Erick was fantastic! After the 1st session, I saw a difference in my kid from his teachings and each session thereafter the progress continued. Showing interest in his clients goals and establishing a course outline to help them achieve their goals is motivating to say the least. He knows the sport very well and is very instructional and patient with his delivery. We enjoyed working with Coach Eick and look forward to working with him more in the future.
Gary (CoachUp client)
He is on point easy to get along with and is very patient

Maya (CoachUp client)
Coach Eric was quick to respond to my inquiry, he is very professional, and knew what my kids really needed. He started working with my daughter to help with her vertical jump for volleyball - and motivated her. She could see results immediately . That encouraged me to take my son who plays hockey to train with him.
love working with him and highly recommend him.
Chance (CoachUp client)
Coach Erick is a phenomenal coach, he’s very kind and personable in welcoming in new athletes and extremely thorough in his evaluation of them. After just one session he gave me info about my body that I had no clue about.

Courtney (CoachUp client)
To identify Coach Erick, I reviewed every coach's profile, read their reviews and reached out to each one of them. Coach Erick has been professional and spoke to us before booking which gave us an opportunity to access if this would be a good fit for our 13 year old son. He performed an assessment, gave us feedback of where the starting point will be and specifically how things will proceed moving forward with training. As parents starting, we appreciate the timeliness, professionalism and his care toward safety during this pandemic.
