Client Reviews

Aimee (client) - "My son loves working with Coach Coleman! He's very patient while still pushing him to work hard."

Shawn (client) - "I spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect fit for my daughter. I came across Coach Coleman and to say his credentials were eye-popping was an understatement. I thought to myself this is the Coach for my daughter and after one day removed from her 1st session I know he is. Yes, his knowledge is obvious, but the way he interacted with my daughter was awesome. He was patient and very engaging the entire time. My expectations were blown away and I left very excited. More importantly, my daughter was even more excited about the thought of working with Coach Coleman going forward. We will definitely be booking another training session. If I could give Coach Coleman 6 stars, I would!!!"

Johnny (client) - "Excellent coach!!!"

Marissa (client) - "We had our first lesson with Coach Coleman this weekend and I was very impressed with him. He really took the time to evaluate my daughter's skill level - found her strengths and weaknesses and worked according to those. We (both my daughter and I) are very excited to work with him going forward! Thanks, Coach"

Lyndsay (client) - "Coach Keith was a great coach! My daughter is very new to basketball and he was very patient, fun and motivating. We look forward to more sessions!"

Chi (client) - "Excellent coach. He commanded the stage and attracted the boys' attention in that one hour. He showed them the techniques that they never had an opportunity to learn. He is a class above. Thank you, coach, for your help!"

Paul (CoachUp client) - "This will be a different review than most. I played football for over 20 years at multiple levels so needlessly to say I've been around lots of coaches in my lifetime. The moment I shook Coach Coleman’s hand I knew there was something different about this one. Well, I was right. He served as an officer in the Marine Corp and is currently retired. While in the service he had the opportunity to work closely with Gen Colin Powell's Team. As a parent, this speaks volumes to me as I'm constantly trying to show my son positive examples of male leadership in a world where quite frankly "Where have all the men gone?" 

"Coach Coleman is a fantastic coach that really has the experience to coach kids to the next level of play and basketball intelligence. His basketball resume speaks for itself. He's got just enough of that old school coach in him that kids need these days!!! My son really responded well to him. We will definitely be back!!"

Testimonials By Levels

Middle School

 "Thanks to Coach Coleman and his staff for running a fantastic coaching clinic.  All the coaches who attended learned a lot, and it was extremely beneficial to learn different coaching techniques. The clinic was advanced enough to challenge the more experienced coaches, while still being completely accessible to those just starting out.  The clinic provided both theoretical and practical assistance in teaching basketball, and I have already begun incorporating some of them into my weekly practices, with positive results.  I personally enjoyed the clinic and I look forward to attending another event in the future!"

 “This was my first experience with any coach's training. It was a very positive experience and left me inspired to continue improving my coaching practice and to continue to develop my new coaching philosophy.  The instructors were supportive and professional. They gave excellent weekend training which was beneficial to all the participants. They conducted an excellent clinic that was informative, and yet efficient and organized. I especially enjoyed learning the “WAVA Basketball System”. Who better to learn it from than the man who invented it? Thank you again for going out of your way to bring the first ever Bball Crucible training to Dallas, and for encouraging me to take basic basketball coaching training."

"The passion and dedication of the instructors was amazing. This opportunity was more than I expected. The Crucible staff were very good presenters and especially helpful as clinicians (professional), and made the weekend a lot of fun as well. Having instructed, coached, and taught basketball for many years, I do appreciate their hard work and the new information they shared. I learned a great deal of practical information that I can apply in my regular basketball practices with my church team.  Equally important, I got a deeper sense of how much more there is to learn, and a better understanding of how I can continue to develop my skills and knowledge in order to become a better teacher and coach.  A heartfelt "Thank you!" to Bball Crucible staff.”
