More About Coach Michael
I helped coach my AAU team called the Game 7 Sharks as well as my high school (Raritan). As I coached some of the players' parents hired me for individual training out of the Monmouth county area.Towns such as Hazlet, Holmdel, Middletown, Matawan, etc. I am capable of working with any age group but prefer middle to high school kids.
Throughout my career in basketball I achieved a lot. In high school I was 1000+ point scorer along with a 1000+ rebounder. Also was named 3rd to 1st team all state my senior year in NJ. I also won the Shore Conference Championship in 2011 as a junior. Luckily I played division 1 at University of Rhode Island then transferred to Wagner College. My Junior year at Wagner we made the Nation Invitation Tournament(NIT) and beat the #1 seed St. Bonaventure and we were the #8 seed. Following up my senior year we played nationally ranked #18 UCONN and won the game. Me individually was named the player of the game posting 15 points and 9 rebounds.
Personally I would work great with big men and guards. My team called me a point center because of my ability to pass rebound and handle the basketball. I focus on conditioning and mental toughness. Those two things are overlooked in the game of basketball. You have to keep pushing even when your tired or your having a bad game. My favorite drills to run though are the Mikan drill, Slide finish dunks/layups, finishing through contact, 2 ball dribbling, 1 ball dribbling with a tennis ball being through at you to catch(helps hand eye coordination, post up moves(I have a lot to show on this), Randy Foye 3 spot shooting drill, as along with many other drills that I like personally. But like I said I love to focus on conditioning mental toughness and finishing through contact.

Michael did a nice job working with Ryan. His format for assessing his students then giving them appropriate skill challenges met my expectations. Moving forward with more sessions, as Ryan enjoyed working with Michael.

Michael was very patient and insightful with my 13 year old grandson. Coach Michael knows basketball, and he knows how to motivate and teach. We'll definitely be scheduling more lessons.

Coach Michael is great. My daughter had a great workout. She learned what to work on after Coach Michael identified what her weaknesses were. Coach had unique and fun drills which really made it fun and interesting for my daughter. We look forward to working with Coach Michael very soon. Overall a very positive experience.

Coach Michael is excellent! My son was energized and enthusiastic after his first session. The drills will definitely help him excel. Thank you Coach Michael. We plan to see you weekly!
Joseph (CoachUp client)
Coach Michael was able to help me get a head start on making my shot consistent. I was able to make 5-6 shots in a row with just minor adjustments. I will definitely be booking another session in the future, and I recommend booking a sesssion with him if your aim is to reach your maximum potential in basketball.
