1st of 5 sessions today. I was impressed by Coach Irving’s approach and how he held my son accountable for doing things the right way. He provided good constructive feedback followed up with clear instructions and positive reinforcement when corrections were made.
Lots of good takeaways from the lesson.
My son felt a real sense of accomplishment at the end of the session and is excited for the next one.
Paulo (CoachUp client)
Coach Irving was very engaging and knowledgeable of craft. He took a very tailored approach to ensure he understood my son's skill level to begi with. I appreciated the positive reinforcement as well as specific call outs to help my son improve his skills and providing drills to continue to practice on his own.

Coach Irving was awesome! My 11yo son loved his first session and can’t wait for the next. They started with a skill assessment and then moved into instruction. Coach held Mason accountable in a supportive way but was also very positive overall. Can’t wait for the next session.

I'm so glad that I booked a training package with Coach Irving for my 12 year old son! He was down to earth, provided constructive feedback/tips, and was upbeat/positive. My son enjoyed his time with him and I am already thinking about booking additional sessions.

Approachable. Driven. Knowledgeable. These words encompass my son’s first session with coach Irving. The evidence of his degree of professionalism did not stem from his evaluation of my son’s flaws which were accurate; but the execution that would take my son to his next level. High expectations lead to achievement of one’s full potential. We are all in!!!
Chris (CoachUp client)
Booked one session for my son who's just coming out of his spring AAU season and looking to get his skills ready for his second year of HS basketball. Coach Irving was fantastic - really made him work! We haven't seen him sweat like that in a long time! My son got so much more out of the 1:1 session to help his technique/skills than he does with his full team practices. We've already booked another 3 sessions with Coach Irving and my son is really looking forward to it!
Shannan (CoachUp client)
Great first session with Coach Irving. My 14-year-old learned new things and got a good work out. Coach Irving was great to talk to and very responsive in getting sessions scheduled. My son is looking forward to the next session and I think that says a lot.
Dan (CoachUp client)
Coach Irving is an all around great coach. During our first session with him, he made my son feel very comfortable. Irving pushed my son hard which is what he needs if he’s going to make the Freshman basketball team. He performed all types of drills including that my son will be able to use in the driveway. Overall, Irving is a great motivator who really understands the game of basketball in all facets of the game. My son loved it!

I would absolutely recommend Coach Irving! My son had his first training with him and he taught him so much already. Even with my son having a lot of experience with the game he showed him so many new lessons and strategies. He seems to genuinely care for his students and clearly loves the game!

Coach Irving is amazing! He has already brought my son up to the next level. He gives my son real world applications that he takes to the court for his games. At home, he practices what he learns at the sessions. Jackson just loves him and all his wisdom and advice. Money well spent! Thanks, Coach!!

Sean (CoachUp client)
My son had a great first session with Coach Irving. Initially, he takes some time to get to know the player and understand what level they’re at and if they have any areas in particular that they would like to work on. He ran him through some drills and quickly realized where he would benefit the most. We will be continuing sessions with Coach Irving.
Tracie (CoachUp client)
Irving is an amazing coach to our son! In the 4 sessions that he has had with him, he has already learned so many new skills and has incorporated them into his game. Coach Irving evaluated our son and puts a plan in Place for every new session. He is professional, knowledgeable, and patient. We would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve their basketball skills!
Abdul (CoachUp client)

Tracy (CoachUp client)
Coach Irving was amazing! When my son finished he said “I actually learned something “. He utilized the whole time to work with my sons needs. Was on time and professional.
Quiearna (CoachUp client)
Coach Irving’s an Amazing coach! Just after one lesson I was seeing a great improvement. The extra motivation and techniques he has for his clients are incredibly helpful and on point every time! I will most definitely continue sessions with him, as I watch my daughter bring out more of what she did not know she had in her. I’m forever grateful for coach Irving, as I continue to watch my daughter flourish on the basketball courts. As I also watch her take the techniques he teaches her and use them in her other sports. Coach Irving is definitely strongly recommend from our family!
Ronda (CoachUp client)
Coach Irving is a great coach! Ryan needed a boost in his ability to strive to be the best he can be, I feel that these two sessions have done just that! He has gained confidence in himself and his ability to play basketball. Looking forward to our next session! I so recommend him for anyone! :)
