Learn Basketball with Michael
I’m a coach who believes in discipline, hard work, and structure—values that were instilled in me during my time in the Marine Corps. Basketball has always been more than just a game to me. Growing up, it kept me focused, gave me purpose, and protected me from a lot of the negatives in my environment. Now, as a coach, I want to pass that same structure and passion on to my players. I had the unique experience of playing basketball across multiple states throughout middle and high school. That exposure to different play styles and philosophies shaped how I see the game today. I emphasize adaptability, fundamentals, and high-IQ decision-making because I’ve seen firsthand how different approaches to the game can create well-rounded players. My goal as a coach isn’t just to develop talent but to build disciplined, resilient players who can handle challenges—both on and off the court. I push my players to be accountable, work hard, and commit to excellence because that’s what it takes to succeed, not just in basketball, but in life.
