More About Coach Michael
I have been coaching and training athletes for over 8 years, helping players develop both on and off the court. My experience includes working with athletes who have gone on to play at the collegiate level, including one currently competing in Division 1 basketball and several others at the Division 2 and Division 3 levels. I specialize in player shooting, conditioning, film breakdown, ball handling, and driving. My coaching philosophy centers on building confidence in my athletes and teaching proper fundamentals to ensure long-term success. My goal is to help each player reach their full potential through expert guidance and a supportive, growth-focused environment.
