Coach Mickell has focused on establishing my son's fundamental skills as a beginner to basketball. Coach Mickell is extremely patient, consistent and encouraging. The coaching is having a positive impact on my son. Thank you
Leigh (CoachUp client)
Michell is fantastic! He is working with both of my sons and they are learning so much! The amount of improvement even after the first lesson was amazing! He is patient and kind while at the same time pushing the boys to do their best. They love seeing him and look forward to each lesson. So glad we found him!!
Rikesha (CoachUp client)
Coach Mickell is wonderful. He is clear and consistent on his instruction. I appreciate the correction and encouragement he gives. My son is working hard, breaking bad habits, strengthening fundamental skills, and it is already starting to show.
Highly recommend.

Great first session with Coach Mickell. My child improved and, most importantly, had fun. We will definitely be seeing him again!
Rhonda (CoachUp client)
Coach Mickell was a great coach. I saw improvments immediately during and after my son's session. I appreciate his flexibile coaching style in which he is able to adjust his coaching plan after assessing the player's strenghts and weaknesses. He is a great motivator and was able to give my son specific drills to work on at home to help improve his game. I will definitely be booking additional sessions soon.
