2 years of College
LA Valley College ‘94 -’96
I played at LA Valley College, over seas and Nike pro-am for 13yrs. I was named MVP of my college team and defensive player of my pro-am team.
All I know is hard work that's why I named my company after it. Repetition and muscle memory is what I focus on. If you want to be a shooter then let's get shot after shot up, if you want to dribble better then let's work hard on it. The more you work the better you will become.

Lori (CoachUp client)
My son had his first session with Coach Mike today and we both loved him. I loved that he is professional, friendly, positive, & knowledgeable. My son said "I like that he doesn't let me give up or say 'I can't'". Looking forward to our future sessions.
