I was extremely impressed with Coach Miles today after training with my daughter. He was exactly what I was looking for to help her improve on her skills. I am really looking forward to seeing the progress over the next several weeks. I have no doubt she'll be a much better player because of her time with Coach Miles.

Julie (CoachUp client)
My son really enjoys working with Coach Miles. His shooting has gotten far more accurate and he is moving and handling the ball with far more confidence.
Jesse (CoachUp client)
Coach Miles is an amazing coach. He is extremely knowledgeable not only about the game but also breaking the steps down and explaining them. My son enjoyed the sessions. Coach Miles seemed to be very passionate and like he genuinely cares. If you are questioning if a personal coach is worth it after 1 or 2 sessions you won't be questioning that decision. The only downside for me is the distance to practice. (But that's not his fault). I would definitely recommend him.
Claudia (CoachUp client)
Miles is very knowledgeable, very easy to communicate with, and punctual. He was able to read my son right off the bat and that helped him reach him quickly. Genuinely appreciate his help and will continue to train with him.

Coach Miles is great with showing the "why" behind everything he explains looking forward to my son getting more sessions in with him.
Prairie (CoachUp client)
As a parent, I am always looking for someone who connects well with my daughter for lessons. I see that Coach Miles is patient and persistent. He explains to her why he is working on certain skills. That motivates our kiddo to practice that particular shot or skill. Highly recommend! He has built a great rapport with our kiddo and we appreciate the work he puts in with her during our lesson.
Noah (CoachUp client)
Great coach with knowledge on how to communicate the fundamentals of the game to my young daughter. She’s already excited to get back on the court!
April (CoachUp client)
This far, Coach Miles has been a fantastic trainer/coach for my 12 year-old son! He’s enthusiastic and encouraging, and after just one session, my son said he has learned so much about his shot. He’s really looking forward to working with him more! He was also very respectful and polite to me and very responsive! These are all the things we were looking for in a coach!

Great coach! My 8th grade son has learned a lot in a short time and really looks forward to his training!
Jamie (CoachUp client)
Coach Miles was really patient with my boys, they take a while to warm up to new people. He worked with them on their shooting technique and stance which really made a difference just in their first session. I like that he pushes them a little to overcome fatigue and frustration. We will definitely be back for more sessions.

Coach Miles was excellent for my daughter, who wants to train for high school tryouts. He’s motivating and encouraging but tough all at the same time. He covers a variety of skills and drills and gives a complete workout. We’ll definitely be scheduling more sessions with him.

It was our first session for my twin boys and Coach Burnside made a very good impression. He kept my 12 year olds’ attention, gave good advice and examples, and made it fun, competitive, and with positive encouragement. Looking forward to more sessions.
Joe (CoachUp client)
Coach Miles did a wonderful job in teaching my son the proper procedures just on the first session. Coach was persistent in making him learn proper ball handling, shooting form, passing in this one hour session. Jason can’t wait until we go to next session. Great motivator and very professional in his coaching.
Thank you!

Coach Miles has been great with my girls and in their development, he really understands getting better and developing skills is a process. He is always available and communicates clearly and in a timely matter. He has motivated my girls and they continue to improve. I would recommend Coach Miles, especially if you have a young athlete looking to develop skills.

Jaime E. (Parent of former player) (Testimonial)
If you have any kind of interest for Basketball, Coach Miles Burnside is the coach for you! I’ve had the privilege of Miles coaching my son James for the last 3 years! James is now 10 years old and has learned the fundamentals of he game which is very important to me and in the game of basketball. James ball handling , shooting, and over all basketball IQ has improved more and more every season. Not only does Coach Burnside teach every aspect of Basketball but also teaches life skills. As a dad to hear my son say “I have to be on time to practice , to school and try my best each day,” is all I can ask for! He has learned from Mr. Coach Miles Burnside! At the end of the day its money well spent!!
