"Mike came with distance issues between irons and a weak fade. I adjusted his grip. Changed his ball positions and over the course of a few weeks, he found the "bottom" of his swing. The last time I worked with Mike the weak fade was gone. He was striking the ball much better with authority!

With a lifetime passion for basketball, I bring years of experience as both a player and a coach to every training session. I’ve coached a wide range of players, from youth teams in AAU and at the YMCA to dedicated one on one training. My coaching philosophy is built on the belief that greatness starts with a solid foundation. Then skill development, conditioning, mental toughness/IQ, and competitiveness. I train athletes of all ages and skill levels. Let’s get to work.

"As the parent of an 8 year old, I honestly can’t say enough good things about our child’s trainer. When we first signed up for youth basketball I didn’t expect much. But Coach Robinson was great. So much so that we continued with some extra training after the kids season was over. He is incredibly patient and knows how to work with young kids. At 8 your attention span can be short but he keeps practices engaging, structured, and positive. What stands out is how he builds confidence. My child used to be shy during games and hesitant to handle the ball. Now I see a noticeable difference. Beyond skills he teaches sportsmanship, listening skills, and discipline.
