"I've trained with a lot of different trainers, what's different about Mike's program is we actually watch film & work on the things that will actually help me the most in games..."

"When I first came to Mike's program I was struggling with my finishing. After a few months my finishing went to the next level. I now find myself finishing through contact with consistency. My scoring in games is now around 25-30PPG. "

"I remember in 8th grade, I was crying to my mom, frustrated after another game of scoring 0 points. We found Mike and after our first year of training, I'm now starting on JV as a freshman, averaging 15-20PPG."

"Michael Is A Game Changer"
"I am a true testament that both my children have improved in a short amount of time. Michael is very knowledgeable, inspiring, and he knows how to relate to the youth. He knows how to train and inspire at the same time."

Let's Be Real: A lot of "skills training" today is just a bunch of random moves at cones that kids never seem to use in games... but they look cool in workouts
That's Where Our Training Is Different:
Our team has spent hundreds of hours watching middle school & high school game film to see EXACTLY what skills players should learn to give them CONFIDENCE to TRANSLATE the skills directly into games... NO FLUFF
More Than Basketball :
