Simple enough - Coach Gary is a phenomenal coach!
After just the first session, there was a significant improvement in our son's game. Coach Gary is able to easily identify and correct weaknesses. Our son responded very well to Coach Gary’s way of instruction and had a lot of fun practicing with him. Coach Gary’s methods have helped our son develop into a better player and has given our son a greater understanding and love of the game. We highly recommend Coach Gary!

My 15 year old son has improved an incredible amount after only 1 week with Gary. He is a more than just a technical coach he is very wise and has guided my son well for the future. The amount of detail he has given us is priceless we will take all this back to Australia. 5 stars, Gary - Cheers Mate :-)

My 11 year old son really liked Coach Gary and would like to work with him again. He is encouraging and welcoming and put us all at ease right away. He is a great teacher and my son learned new techniques and skills in just one session. We would definitely recommend Coach Gary.
Steve (CoachUp client)
I watched coach Gary work with my grandson on his first session. He immediately picked up on his weaknesses and helped him correct some of them very quickly. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Kudos!
Diana (CoachUp client)
Coach Gary has been providing great sessions for my 15 year old son. Coach Gary takes the time to explain the purpose behind each drill and talks about the mental aspect of the game. My son has been really enjoying working with Coach Gary and he is very focused on helping my son learn and understanding the foundation of the game. I would highly recommend Coach Gary to anyone looking for a Coach with great basketball knowledge, patience, energy, and he truly enjoys coaching each client.
Maryann (CoachUp client)
Gary is amazing! He is professional, fun and a very nice man. My son was thrilled to be able to work with an NBA player! He knows the game and also knows how to teach. We are confident that the sessions will allow our son to go to the next level in his game. This is worth every penny and we couldn't be more pleased!
Louis (CoachUp client)
Coach Gary provided a great session. He worked with my 13 year old brother having him do various offensive and defensive drills to assess his current level and identify areas for growth. I love that he took the time to explain the purpose behind each drill and talked about mental aspect of the game. I would recommend Coach Gary to anyone looking for a Coach with great basketball knowledge, patience, focus, energy, and who truly enjoys coaching each client.
