Working out and practicing with Marcus always makes me feel better and more confident to try new things and work harder in the game. I also love how patient he is and how he takes his time explaining and is very understanding and keeps everything professional and fun
Chaz
Level: Expert•Lessons taken: 75
My children have been attending basketball training sessions with Marcus for over 8yrs. He is extremely knowledgeable about the game of basketball and I’ve seen tremendous improvement in their skill level and comfortability on the court. Marcus has a great personality and it makes the training fun for the children. He has been able to cultivate personal relationships with the kids he trains and that has a positive impact on their success. Marcus is a wonderful asset to the basketball community

Level: Intermediate•Lessons taken: 60
Marcus is very patient with King. He pushes him to the max. He forces him to use his off hand. He’s become one of the better ball handlers in his age group bc he’s been training with Marcus since he was 5 years old.

The amount of knowledge Coach Parker has taught me has helped me take my game to another level. My confidence with ball handling and finishing with my off hand has improved. A good role model for student athletes.
