More About Coach Mark
I have gained my knowledge of training from a circle of professional trainers that included James Harden and Draymond Green's personal trainers. My most recent client received a basketball scholarship to a Division II college. I also have extensive experience coaching elementary, high school, and college athletes of all skill levels.
CoachUp Nation Articles:
I played highschool basketball, and some college. But, my biggest accomplishments has been helping young basketball athletes get better and achieve their goals. I get great enjoyment from seeing others succeed. I also love seeing how their overall life improves from their success and hard work.
Typical training is tailored to the individual based on his or her skill and needs. The goal is to make the individual a better player that can fit any system and have them progress as an individual. There is no substitute for hard work. Working not only hard, but smart and efficient to obtain results faster.

Client Reviews
Craig (CoachUp client)
Coach Smith is the real deal! As a high school educator/coach myself, I find his approach to coaching to be very effective for young athletes. He teaches his players as a coach should while also being a mentor/friend to them…this creates a lot of trust. He definitely knows his way around the game of basketball but more importantly he knows how to teach it. His rates are very reasonable when compared to other coaches on the app. If you want your young athlete trained the right way look no further than coach Smith. He has also been very accommodating to us despite a busy training schedule. I waited until my son has been training with him for a few months before writing a review.
Jamon (CoachUp client)
Coach Smith has been an outstanding coach for my son. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient and supportive, always taking the time to explain the game/drills and help my son make improvements. His clear communication and encouragement have made a real difference in my son’s skills and confidence on the court. We’re lucky to have him as a coach!
Star (CoachUp client)
Coach Mark Smith is amazing to work with. I have seen such an improvement in the way my daughter dribbles, shoots, and so much more. He not only works on technique, but helps with her confidence in playing, all while making it enjoyable. We definitely recommend him to anyone that wants to grow as a basketball player.
Kevin (CoachUp client)
Coach Smith does a great job working with my son and keeping him focused and excited about getting better. While he works hard to improve my son’s skill set, he also maintains a fun learning environment which keeps my son always asking for more. Appreciate the help Coach Smith!
Noah (CoachUp client)
Coach Mark is great. He immediately tuned up my shot, and has me on a great workout program where I'm improving week over week. I can't say enough good things about him!
Niladri (CoachUp client)
For anyone, I’d highly recommend Coach Mark. I came in the summer wanting to just get a little better as I’m completely inexperienced in basketball and I came out in 10 weeks feeling like I can definitely hold my own in a game. He’s always prepared and never tired, couldn’t have asked for a better coach!
Tania (CoachUp client)
My daughter has had over 10 training sessions with Coach Mark. He has helped her enhance her ball handling skills, footwork, and overall a healthier lifestyle to stay in shape. His positive attitude helps produce better results on the court and keeps Mya motivated to work harder and stay committed. She truly enjoys training with Coach Marks will definitely continue training with him.

My son has been working with coach Mark this summer. He is a dedicated coach and has poured knowledge and kindness into him. He has grown as a player and his school coach has noticed an improvement. I would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a Coach to develop, give feedback and encourage their child!
Emily (CoachUp client)
Coach Mark is an excellent coach. He was able to instantly spot my son’s strengths and weaknesses. Coach Mark gives him guidance that he can use immediately to improve his game and challenges him to push his limits. I am confident that Coach Mark can help him reach his goals.
Rachelle (CoachUp client)
Coach Mark is very patient and knowledgeable in his field. My son is very shy but coach mark got him to open up and enjoy his coaching session. Highly recommend!!
David (CoachUp client)
Session went very well again. Mark is focusing on Rocky’s biggest areas of need right now-being more physical and ways to be more successful down low.

Coach Mark has been an amazing asset in our son’s basketball development. Before meeting coach Mark, my son would dread going to practice and typically feel insecure during training. After the first session our son said he felt comfortable with his coach and was excited to train. He teaches both fundamental and realistic skills, and finds just the right amount of pressure to place on him. Our son still comes home excited about the things he learned and is ready for the next session. We are truly blessed to have found Coach Mark.
Jermaine (CoachUp client)
I started searching for a coach for my son to get him ready for basketball tryouts in high school. My son has a lot of skills and needed to be taken to the next level. In only two sessions, I know I made the right choice with Coach Mark. He is passionate about the game and meets the players at their skill level to advance them to the next level. He is able to connect with my son and able to get him to go the extra mile. I would definitely recommend Coach Mark.
Amy Jensen (Testimonial)
Coach Smith was awesome! He’s so knowledgeable about basketball and knows what it takes to get your child to the collegiate level. My daughter started playing basketball at 14 , which is pretty late for most athletes, however, Coach Smith was able to focus on the areas she needed help in; such as her footwork and defense. She’s a natural shooter but still needed a lot of help in other areas, he helped tremendously. She improved so much and even had confidence in her game. Overall, he was patient and encouraged her to push herself. Ultimately, the skills and confidence he instilled my daughter helped her get her Basketball scholarship. My daughter still trains with Coach Smith when she visits from school. I’d definitely recommend him!
