"Micheal s a great coach! I highly recommend him to anyone at any level! He is patient, encouraging, and talented.

I grew up in Maui Hawaii since the age of 4. Played in the waves my whole life and grew up learning to swim at one of the most dangerous beaches in the world. Started off body surfing and body boarding when I was young then went to the board at 17 and started teaching since 2024.

With over 25 years of basketball playing experience, I cultivated my own skills and passion. I wasn't training with fancy trainers, I was simply putting the work in needed. This "back against the wall" mentality led me to division 1 basketball and playing professionally overseas for 6 years. When injuries took over, I began training aspiring pros coming out of college with no contract. I focused on the building of two players and both ended up getting contracts overseas. I train high school and middle school kids as well, but they must have a deep passion to get better. My focus is on personalized training to elevate each player's game in the respective ways needed for the individual. I bring seriousness, passion, planning, execution and expertise to a commitment of helping young aspiring hoopers excel.

"When Josue Fernandez first started training, he understood the game and had good awareness, but technically he was still developing. He wasn’t fully confident on the ball and would hesitate in tight situations. Through consistent private sessions, his comfort level and ball control improved dramatically. His first touch became cleaner, his decision-making got quicker, and he started playing with real confidence. You could see the difference not just in his skills, but in how he carried himself on the field. Now, Josue is playing at a competitive club level and looks completely comfortable under pressure. The growth has been huge — technically, mentally, and tactically.
