More About Coach Mikel
My philosophy is to teach the importance of education, sportsmanship, self-discipline, and motivation, while instilling solid basketball fundamentals. I will coach/train players as if they were in a Division 1 program, and will demand the execution of proper basketball techniques. This will enable them to compete at a higher level while they are playing with their respective School teams. Levels of coaching/training range from elementary to college students. My coaching experience spans the past 11 years in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex.
My specific basketball experience:
3 year varsity Highs School - Long Beach High School, Long Beach Mississippi
College: Pasadena City College (passed on scholarship, enlisted in the US Navy)
2 years Semi Pro Ball - US Navy (competed in Singapore, Korea,)
A client can expect an energetic and motivating experience that will increase basketball iq, self esteem, along with an in increase in physical ability. My focus is to help every player improve on their self confidence, physical ability, basketball iq and most important their leadership. These attributes will help them improve on and off the court which will help them become productive leaders in society.

First session and already feel confident in the results that we will see. My son left the gym motivated and ready for the challenge ahead. Coach Ray did a great job of connecting with him mentally.

Coach Ray is amazing! My grandson loves Coach Ray. Coach Ray is a funny man and has a great personality. He's very knowledgeable about basketball. My grandson has improved so much since working with him. Not just improvement on skills, but his mindset towards basketball as well. We are very lucky to have found Coach Ray and will continue to work with him for our grandson's future goals.

Coach Mikel was great with my son. You can tell he's passionate about basketball and helping kids be the best they can be. He pushed my son out of his comfort zone a bit in order to get him be more vocal and show energy on the court, which he needs. He also identified weaknesses in my son's shooting stance and worked with him to help correct while making it fun. My son really liked him and his training style. I'd highly recommend Coach Mikel.
Kevin (CoachUp client)

Pedro (CoachUp client)
Coach Mikel is not only a great coach, he is a great man with a great heart. He took the time to talk to my son and let him know if he wants to get better he is there to help. Bright man with a gift to educate the youth. Nothing but respect for this coach and I will definitely recommend him.
Eric (CoachUp client)
Great first session with my grandson. I saw improvement while sitting on the sidelines watching. My grandson told me he was not climatized for first session but have take Coach Ray's homework to heart and promised he will be ready for the next session.
Brandon (CoachUp client)
Coach Ray has just begun working with my son, but I can already tell he’s a great teacher and coach. He teaches foundational lessons to build to greater success. He’s a positive influence but demands accountability, which helps not only in sports but is a key component to purpose filled life.
Caitlin (CoachUp client)
