Great coach! My son has learned a lot in only a few sessions!
Bridget (CoachUp client)
Coach Mesho does a great job communicating how to build upon the skillsets needed for my daughter to become a more rounded player. She communicates verbally and through physical demonstration to help drive home the nuisances of the game that surpassed what I could teach to my child. My daughter and I are both pleased with the experience of working with Coach Mesho.

I have been able to attend all the sessions with my granddaughter, Abby, and I have been quite impressed with Mesho as a coach. She starts out with the basics and stresses fundamentals and correct form and to always be thinking of ways to score. There are so many things that are covered.
I asked Abby for her opinion and if she thought that Coach Mesho has helped her.
โYes 100%โ. โShe knows how to coach, thatโs for sure.โ She shows me the small details that I never realized before, like my shooting or my layups.โ
Abbyโs mom said that she has seen a huge difference in Abbyโs confidence out there on the courtโฆzero hesitation to make a play and shoot that ball!
Nicole (CoachUp client)
Our Daughter is only two sessions in working with Coach Mesho and itโs going great. We are even learning new things just watching the sessions. Coach is fantastic at really taking the time to explain what sheโs teaching and putting the steps together for our Daughter. Excited and canโt wait to see the progress sheโs going to make working with such a great coach.
Shon (CoachUp client)

Jina (CoachUp client)
My son, my husband and I all LOVE Coach Mesho. She is an authentically positive person and does not compromise her standards on performance. She seems very experienced with working with children as she keeps my son motivated and engaged but also knows when he needs to take things a bit slower. She is extremely professional and also a genuinely kind person. Sheโs more than what we could have hoped or asked for in finding a coach for our son!
Matt (CoachUp client)
Coach Mesho has been great for my daughter. Coach Mesho is great at explaining the game at a level that my daughter could understand. We were able to tell a difference in her game after 1 session.

Coach Mesho has been amazing for my daughter! The drills that she has taught my daughter has made an tremendous impact on her game in the last 4 weeks and we're seeing a difference on the court already. It has changes my daughter's approach to the game and given her a better understanding of the game as well. We appreciate the help and all of the knowledge that she has and has poured into my daughter and will definitely refer to our friends. Her knowledge and teaching method is top notch.
Boba (CoachUp client)
Itโs very hard to impress my husband , so if we could give coach Mesho 10 stars that would be more appropriate than 5 . She is doing great job with coaching our son and we will continue booking future sessions with her .

Coach Mesho is amazing. She is friendly, encouraging, energetic, and a gifted teacher. My daughter was completely new to basketball and Coach Mesho was able to teach her proper shooting form - stance, alignment, and mechanics. My daughter walked off the court after her first session looking like a basketball player. It's worth investing in the proper techniques and we're so glad to have found Coach Mesho. We will absolutely be booking more sessions and for all of my kids!

My daughter finished her initial session with Coach Mesho last night. While watching Coach Mesho with my daughter I not only saw Maiya's acceptance of the knowledge imparted, but witnessed the ease in which Coach Mesho set expectations with her on raising her skill level and basketball IQ. Just from this first meeting I could see in Coach Mesho's interactions that she is intent and gifted with building her player's confidence, character and intensity for learning! Thanks Coach Mesho we look forward to many more sessions with you.

Michelle (CoachUp client)
Coach Mesho is truly one of a kind, an athlete with the ability to teach! In one hour my daughter felt she learned more about the -fundamentals- of basketball, than in six years of school basketball. We look forward to continuing her training with Coach Mesho!
Taryn (CoachUp client)
Coach Mesho is an awesome coach. My daughter is 15 and needs assistance with technique and fundamentals. She is a very late starter to the sport, but her desire to become better and succeed is strong. Coach Mesho was very effective with her. She never made my daughter feel uncomfortable due to her lack of knowledge of the sport. Before we made it to our car my daughter said I like her when will we go back. It was very important to find a coach that would have patience with her and still be able to pull the best out of her. We found it with Coach Mesho.
Becky (CoachUp client)
My 7th grade daughter is very much enjoying her time with Coach Mesho and is learning so much. I could see a difference in her ball handling skills the first day and continue to see improvement at each session. I like that Coach Mesho takes the time to provide instruction on and the opportunity to practice specific skills - and then builds on them at the following session. The detailed instruction on technique has been so helpful. The sessions with Coach Mesho will definitely help my daughter be more successful in the upcoming season.
Belinda (CoachUp client)
Coach Morrow has been great to watch working with my daughter. It's really nice how she makes sure everything taught is done correctly before moving to the next skill. Her professionalism, knowledge of the game, and motivating comments sets her apart from many.
