great coach !

Considering, my son is very shy and very inexperienced, Mike brought out the confidence in him within the first 30 minutes of their session. Mike is very patient and knowledgeable of the sport. After one session with Mike, I saw a vast improvement with my son's performance with his team on the following Saturday. Great job!
