More About Coach Melvin

I've played organized basketball since the age of four, all the way through college and to the semi-professional level. Along my journey, I have worked with numerous private training coaches and attended great basketball camps from the top level. With that experience, I’ve learned many skills and techniques that I still use today. My diligence and passion will allow me to bring the best out of a player while teaching them the sound fundamentals that they need. I've coached The Houston Elite- a Special Olympics Basketball Team to a Championship, and worked with a number of AAU programs over the years. I love this game, and I love to pass on all the things that I've learned over the years to help someone else. I believe that's a part of life. I'm willing to give my all to anyone who is willing to receive.

Coach Melvin was very attentive to each of my kids! I really believe they will benefit from his instruction. Thank you!

Thanks Coach we are looking forward to more training sessions my son seemed to really enjoy the one on one training and feels that this is going to be very beneficial to him and his love for this game. Thank you for your patience and commitment to helping my son better his skill and confidence on the court you are greatly appreciated. See you soon!!

Melvin was a great trainer and worked to personalize the workout. Can't express enough how knowledgable he is with fundamentals! Focusing on accuracy and helping create a plan to meet your goals, Melvin is an excellent Coach. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to truly see an advancement in their sport and reach their potential!

It took Coach Melvin all of about about 2 minutes to come up with an effective plan for the development of my son. Very attentive and knowledgeable about the sport and techniques to improve strength, coordination, economy of movement, etc. Also knows how to motivate and keep the attention of a 10 year old, which is a definite plus. Fantastic Coach. Scheduling future appointments immediately. Would definitely recommend.

Great session with Coach Melvin! At 63 years of age, I was nervous about how he would approach our training session. But I should not have worried. He was very professional, encouraging, and gave me some excellent pointers. As well as things to work on during my own workouts. I would definitely recommend Coach Melvin to anyone who is looking to improve on the court (even if you are a bit "long in the tooth").

My son attended his first one-on-one session and was so excited that he was ready to go back. He shared with me all of his pointers, things he did well and things he needed to work on, all while having fun! From a parent’s perspective, Melvin is awesome at responding right away and listening to all I wanted for my son to get out of it, which was more than just basketball skills.

My son recently had his first session with Coach Melvin and it was a great experience for him and myself. Leading up to me booking the first session Coach Melvin was always available to answer any questions or address any concerns. I'm looking forward to seeing my son's skills improve as he continues to train with coach!!

Amazing!!! Best coach ever

We have had 5 sessions with Melvin and I just signed up for 3 more sessions because they have been going so great! I will continue to use Melvin for any future sessions with my children and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a basketball coach!

I have been extremely pleased with Melvin's work as a basketball coach. My son is a beginner, and Melvin has been very patient while teaching him all aspects of the game. He comes well prepared and is able to hold his attention using various methods and techniques during each session. I have seen my son progress in a short amount of time and he has become more confident in his abilities. I would recommend Melvin to anyone looking for a basketball coach, whether they are beginners or more advanced.

I returned and saw under the sun that— The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all. (Ecclesiastes 9:11 NKJV)
