REVIEWS

Jaron is a basketball savant. He knows the game inside and out. I played college ball with Jaron and no one on our team worked harder than him. He would work me out and train me, and he helped me tremendously throughout my career learning the game of basketball. I can’t recommend him enough. If you want to work with someone who has played at a high level and understands the game, Jaron is your guy.

When my daughter first started training with Coach Mak her confidence was low, not just in Basketball skills but also in friendship groups and at school. She had been bullied and found it difficult to take constructive feedback without hearing ‘you’re rubbish’ and giving up. Coach Mak really inspired her and I am sure without her encouragement, honest feedback and role modeling my daughter wouldn’t have had the confidence for trials and be in her second year of a Basketball Academy. Coach Mak was funny, engaging, disciplined and observant. She helped my daughter to find her tribe which translated into confidence off the court too.

Jaron's knowledge of the game is unlike anybody I’ve seen. He is an active learner constantly. He watches games to learn and to study. He devotes his life to being better every single day and leads by example. His passion for the game extends to your mind and not just physically. He works on the mental state just as much as any part of the game. I’ve worked out with Jaron since I was kid learning every workout what I can do to better myself, and this has transcended my game to a different level. Whether we were working on my physical or mental state. He’s unlike any trainer or coach I have worked with and cares about getting better every single day.

On YOUTH CAMPS:

ETM does youth basketball training the right way. Makana and Jaron focus on developing the fundamentals that will help young athletes succeed down the road, and they do it in a way that builds confidence in each kid. Having ETM in our gym is great for our young basketball players, and great for our programs.

On INDIVIDUAL TRAININGS:
The individual youth trainings with Makana were awesome.  My 9 year old son was always eager to get to the gym on the mornings he had "Makana training."  You can tell she loves working with young athletes, and has a passion for the game - It is evident in her teaching style.  She maximizes the time they have together, pushes kids to challenge themselves, celebrates their improvements and effort, and instills confidence and belief in their abilities.  Cannot say enough about how impressed I was, and my son is already asking if he can do it again this summer.

I really liked it because it was really fun and I got way better. I learned a lot and can't wait to do it again this summer. Makana is really nice and always gets excited when I work hard and get better at something.

Coach Mak taught me LOADS of things not just skills for matches but the mentality required to be a successful basketball player. Every session coach would tell me to persevere and say I can always improve next session. She is probably the Coach i have made the most progress with! It’s not common for a coach to be able to support a player like Makana has for me. She has helped me develop my skills and i 100% recommend her and her sessions to any skill level or age. I would 100% take her session again if I could.
