"Michael-Ray has really helped with my footwork, conditioning and overall movement on the court, which has improved my game so many levels!



Worked many college basketball camps from grade school all the way to high schoolers. From the fundamentals all the way to complexed skills and drills. I have retained many workout routines from former coaches and overseas pros that I have played with and against. All I want to do is give back and passed down what I know to the younger generation so that can accomplish all the things that I didn't!
