Parent Testimonials

"My daughter improved her basketball skills right away with private coaching at HoopSmart. Her shooting percentage increased, she is making better shots without difficulty, her defensive skills improved, her mental game and alertness is obviously better. Not only could I see a huge improvement in my daughter's game, but other players that have received the same private coaching at HoopSmart, are obviously benefiting from it and getting so much better! This should be done continuously for serious players. HoopSmart could make the difference in being selected for a high school level team or not. This is definitely time and money well spent."

"There are not enough good things to be said about both Michael and Bryon of HoopSmart. My daughter, a 6th grader, is in her first season of being coached by them (as volunteers) and has progressed so much in such a short amount of time it's truly unbelievable! Her ball handling skills, shooting, and most of all, her confidence, have blossomed under their guidance. Their love of the game and genuine care for "the girls" truly comes across on the court. No question about it...Michael and Bryon are more than just coaches, they're teachers! Thanks guys for showing my child how to be the best she can be both on and off the court through your example."

"Michael and Bryon do a wonderful job stressing the fundamentals of basketball. From a coach's perspective I have picked up many useful teaching techniques for my team by simply watching them coach my daughter. In addition, they clearly have an excellent reputation and good rapport with the players. Last month they put on a clinic for the 6th grade girls from Christ the King and over half of the girls in the grade attended."

"The best coaching decision I've ever made was to hire Hoopsmart to run our practice last week. Michael really connects with the kids. After only one hour with my team, the players went in to our next game on fire! We were unstoppable. The parents were so thrilled with such positive results that they agreed to pay for Hoopsmart to come back to our next practice."

"Michael has not only played the game at the highest level of college athletics but he has that rare quality of being able to teach it as well. Michael's communication skills are excellent. He is able to establish a rapport with the kids that they both respect and appreciate. Michael has great patience with the kids. He teaches through constant encouragement and is able to motivate kids to elevate their game to another level. He is able to coach the finer points of the game that is rarely found at this age level. Michael and Bryon have my highest recommendation. Not only are they great coaches they are great people."
