Coach Mickey

A great coach. I will recommend him. Last year my daughter and her friends went for basketball tryouts and Mickey trained them for it.

Coach Mickey is as knowledgeable about basketball as he is good with kids. I highly recommend his services!

Mickey is a great basketball teacher for my first grader. My son has developed respectable defensive and offensive basketball skills relative to his age since he started seeing Mickey about a year ago. I’m very proud of him when I watch him play in his league because not only is his shooting, stealing, dribbling, and passing skills very good (again relative to his age – he’s no Steph Curry (yet)) but he plays basketball with fun, toughness, tenacity, poise and confidence, fairness, and competitiveness that would make any dad proud. I attribute almost all of this to my son working w/​Mickey for a bit over a year now. My son has taken private lessons, father and son private lessons (highly recommend), and now currently – semi-​private lessons w/​Mickey on a weekly basis. At certain phases of my son’s basketball development, all of these types of classes we’re invaluable to increasing certain basketball skill set and keeping the practice engaging.
I highly recommend Mickey. He keeps the class fun and engaging yet focused and challenging so your child continues to develop skills but have fun while doing so. He’s a good classy guy that I think truly loves basketball and loves to see kids develop into basketball players who also not only enjoy playing basketball but play the game with sound fundamentals, respect for the game, and with poise and confidence.

Coach Mickey has been coaching our 9 year old this past year. I highly recommend him. Our child’s lessons are 1:1 lessons. It has helped him learn the fundamentals and be more successful playing on teams. I played basketball my whole life and i think Coach Mickey’s approach is an excellent way to teach the fundamentals of the game. My kid likes going to classes with him. I’ve watched the classes and Coach Mickey works him steadily and hard but in a good way — with a very positive attitude.

Mickey was amazing! Not only did I learn many of the fundamentals of basketball in my lesson, but I also had a lot of fun in the process. Mickey was understanding of my skill level and was very good at fine-​tuning techniques I needed to work on such as the, «follow through.» Due to the fact that I have a physical disability, I used a wheelchair to help me get around faster on the basketball court. While I believe this was a new experience for Mickey, he was more than willing to take on the challenge and even researched rules for how to play wheelchair basketball. Though, it took me a few times to work out certain techniques, Mickey would not give up on me until I got them down. His emphasis on growth helped me to not be afraid of failure and to play the best I could. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience with Mickey, and would recommend him to anyone regardless of their skill set or abilities.

We really enjoy Coach Mickey’s approach to basketball. He dribbles the discipline of follow through with respect of other players adeptly. Most importantly the kids listen to him! As much as my son loves me, he wouldn’t listen to Mom’s sports direction as well as he does to Mickey. Mickey makes it fun, challenging but he does not give into to their disinterest or misbehavior easily. I appreciate his thorough, comprehensive approach to coaching. Mickey please continue to share your talent!

This is one of the best coaches around period. Knows the game and knows how to teach. If you need a coach, he’s your guy!

Mickey has been working my son for one year now. He is a very responsible and reliable person. Mickey has a great patience with his students, and he is role model for them. My son has not only improved on shooting, defense, and passing. But after taking his private lesson, but he started doing well in his academics. He is more focusing on school, and finishing his homework on time after playing basketball. My son is enjoying those lessons, and he always looks forward to meeting Mickey every week. I am glad to see this positive change. Thanks Mickey.

My 5-​year old twin sons look forward to their basketball lessons with Coach Mickey (and so do their parents.) Mickey teaches them skills at their level in a positive, respectful and fun way. They are learning about basketball and good sportsmanship while improving their hand-​eye coordination, passing, shooting and dribbling skills. Mickey is flexible and works with their individual needs and schedules. For their 5-​year old birthday party, Coach Mickey lead basketball games and activities for twenty five 4 – 6 year olds, who had a wonderful time!

Coach Mickey is a fantastic coach for all ages and skill levels. He truly knows the game and is able to convey his knowledge to his students. We have 3 kids who all love basketball. My son said that his lesson with Coach Mickey was AMAZING. He has played on many teams and attended several camps, but said by far he learned the most with Coach Mickey. As a parent, I appreciate his calm demeanor, while expecting hard work. Great guy and coach.

Mickey is a great Coach and my son is very happy working with him.

Mickey deserves everyone of these stars!
Hand down the best coach we have hired for any sport! Mickey has changed the way my son sees basketball!
Mickey’s focus was on helping my son build a set of skills such as endurance, techniques, court etiquette etc This complete approach took our son’s very average performance to one that helped him play at his best. All this in our one hour with Mickey! He also had such a positive attitude and came to every lesson with a smile despite his very busy day. Lastly I would like to comment that my son’s favorite sport is basketball and it would not be the case if we did not have the one-​on-​one instruction we got!
