More About Coach Marcus
I have trained basketball players of all ages and experience. I am currently an NBA writer for Sports Illustrated’s Fansided Nation, and I cover the Golden State Warriors for SB Nation.
I played 3 years of varsity basketball in high school (Los Angeles), two years of division one NCAA basketball, three seasons of professional FIBA basketball, and have played in a number of semi professional leagues like the Nike Drew League.
I apply strict attention to fundamentals while applying exercises and drills that increase on-court awareness, athleticism and confidence. Cone and shuttle drills, defensive tenacity, ball handling, speed and quickness, shooting, rebounding, passing, strength and agility.

Carter (CoachUp client)
Enjoyed my workout with Coach Marcus. Very knowledgeable and able to recognize strengths and weaknesses. The workout involved enhancing and improving skills that's really important for my game. I will forever use the tips he gave me.
Rachel (CoachUp client)
Hamish had a 1 off, 2 hour session with Coach Marcus while we were in Vegas and thoroughly enjoyed it. Coach Marcus was very professional and friendly. We would definitely book another session if we were to come back to Vegas. Thanks
Tara (CoachUp client)
Coach Marcus is great. He is very knowledgeable and trains hard but my son loves it. After only a few sessions with Coach Marcus, my son is playing better and with more confidence.

Coach Marcus has a great teaching ability. My son is really enjoying the time he spends with Coach Marcus. I am so glad that we chose him! Top Notch Coach for sure!!!!
Sarah (CoachUp client)
My son just began working with Marcus, and Marcus has my son very excited. My son hasn't been on a team since he was seven years old, and although he loves to play, there are many fundamentals that he lacks. I have already seen improvements in my son's basic skills and I'm happy to see him fired up for basketball.
Bret H (Testimonial)
Coach Marcus has helped our son by coaching his team as well as through one-on-one coaching sessions. Coach Marcus' knowledge of the game as an experienced, elite player has helped our son to strengthen his fundamentals while also learning new, more advanced elements of the game. The adapts his coaching to the experience and skill level of the player, which helps each individual develop to their potential. We gladly recommend Coach Marcus to other kids!
Lateefah Johnson (Testimonial)
Marcus has worked with my 8 year old son on numerous occasions. After spending lots of money in a league that was unorganized, I allowed my son to train one on one with Marcus. I could see game improvement after almost every week. He has a very fundamental basketball background and what separates him from other trainers is his ability to explain technique and break things down step by step. My son had trouble laying the ball up and shooting. Marcus corrected his bad habits and now he's much more consistent. He's a much better defender and offensive player now. I will make sure we keep training with Marcus.
