My son is going into high school and he’s played basketball all all his life. We knew he needed to work on some skills in order to make the team.
After looking for a few coaches we came across Martin and he was very professional, responsive, and punctual.
He has helped my son on his from and adds in resistance training as well. I’m happy to say right from the start the difference is always showing in my son’s skills. He looks more confident and his shooting accruing is improving. I’m grateful to have come across him.

Coach Martin is an amazing coach! I really appreciate how he focuses on building strong communication skills and dedicates himself fully to each players development. His coaching style and methods are extremely effective they help players refocus, stay motivated, and achieve their goals in basketball. Working with him has made a noticeable difference, both on and off the court.

Coach has been a game-changer for my kid. He’s consistent, patient, and truly committed to helping each player grow. His practices are structured and focused, and he’s a great teacher who breaks things down so the kids really understand the game. You can tell he cares — not just about winning, but about building confidence and character. We’re lucky to have him.

In my sessions and I had plenty of sessions, I liked and I learned how to attack the glass by going to it. I kept going around my defender and widing my lanes. He taught me to keep my lanes straight and to keep attacking my defender. Exhausting work but man it’s paying off
