About

NEW TO LOS ANGELES. I am an active NBA skill development coach and Lead Trainer at Integrity Hoops. I’ve worked with athletes including Harrison Barnes, Russell Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, and many others. In 2020 I founded Mookie Markowitz Hoops, a skill development company for players of all ages and skill sets. My experience provides certainty that I can bring any player’s game to the next level. Beyond skills training, I take pride in using basketball as a vehicle to help young players feel more confident on and off the court.

    What I like about working with Mike is how he teaches game time situation moves which are counters to the ways the defense are going to play, where to move on the court when the ball is not in your hands which is important to know playing basketball and effective in games. I also like how Mike doesn’t switch to the next thing he wants to teach until what he teaches first is mastered. Most importantly I admire how he’s invested into the players goal. Being around him it’s very obvious that he is passionate about what he does.

    Coach Mike is easily the best in the business. He has worked with my son and daughter for the last three years. My daughter, after working with Michael, made her varsity team in eighth grade. My son was cut from his high school basketball team several years in a row, but after one year of working with Michael leading up to the next tryout, he made varsity. My son felt like he improved the most on his finishing footwork and decision-making and became an overall better offensive player. My son went from being cut from the team to starting and making all-district his senior year. Ultimately, Coach Mikes passion to see my children succeed is unmatched.
