Max
Basketball Testimonies...
Jim
Daniels - Grand Blanc, Michigan
"My
son Jake is in the seventh grade and is extremely passionate
about the game of basketball. After coaching and training him since
age 5, I came to the realization that in order for Jake to
take his game to the next level and fully realize his
potential I needed to find someone who could take
him there. I found what I was looking for when I
met Andrew McGarry of Max Basketball. Jake needed to develop
a better defensive mind set and game . Andy's one on
one and small group approach is just what Jake needed to refine
his game both defensively and offensively . With
Andy's help Jake learned to eliminate wasted effort in his
ball handling, defensive posture, and in his shot. This all is
designed to make his reactions quicker and smoother and give
him that competitive edge on the court. Jake has only been
training with Andy since mid July and already I see
a marked improvement in his game and overall confidence. Whether
your son or daughter aspires to make the local team or play
beyond high school, Andy's unique training methodology embodies
the right mix of conditioning, skill sets and mental
preparation that you just can't get in team practices, basketball camps and larger group settings. Many thanks
Andy."

McAllister - Head
Coach - Michigan Fire - Girl's
AAU Basketball Club
"My family
is forever grateful to Andrew McGarry. He starting training my
daughter (Destiny Stephens) about 2 and 1/2 years ago. She
went from never playing basketball to a player that made Grand
Blanc High School varsity basketball as a freshman. He
continues to train her as she is entering her sophomore year
of high school. Due to the hard work and training under Max
Basketball, Destiny is viewed as one of the top players
of her class (2012) in the state of Michigan. She is
being recruited by numerous Division 1 and Division 2 schools.
As an AAU coach (Michigan Fire) and a high school coach (Head
coach of the freshman girls at Pontiac High School) I have
seen many trainers with many avenues of teaching the game of
basketball. I have not seen anyone that has the passion that
Andy has for teaching the game of basketball. My opinion is
Max Basketball is THE BEST hands down. The keys to Andy's
teaching is first and foremost his knowledge of the game, and
the most important is his ability relay this knowledge to
young athletes. I highly recommend Max Basketball to any
athlete that is serious and committed to being the best
athlete they can be. Thank
you Andy, God Bless and keep up the good work."

Chris
Studer -
Player - Davenport University - Swartz Creek High School
"I
started training
with Andy
during the summer before my
senior year. My junior year I was originally cut from my High
School Varsity squad. So during the next off season I decided to
put a lot of time and work in. Before my senior
basketball season started I had gained between 3 and 6 inches of
vertical jump from the Vertimax training I went through at
Planet Hoops. On top of that I became a much better all around
basketball player from training with Andy. I went from
being cut my junior year to the M.V.P of the team my senior
season, but it didn’t stop there. Andy also helped me get a
scholarship to go play in college. I was never recruited to play
college ball but within
two
weeks after a skills camp I attended
at Planet Hoops I was receiving phone calls from 3 different
colleges. Thanks to the training and recruiting help I received
from Andy, I had a chance to play college ball and get
part of my schooling paid for. I kept training with them and
advancing my skills until I left for college. Now, I have just
finished my freshmen basketball season at Davenport University
and I thank the training and advice I received. If it wasn’t for
him, I
wouldn’t be playing college basketball. I appreciate
everything you did for me! Thank you!" |

"I have yet to find a training staff more focused on basketball,
or have programs in place for the advancement of skill development and
exposure to higher levels of the game." |
Wayne Warner - Goodrich, Michigan
"Our family has been involved with Travel Basketball, clinics and
lessons with a variety of trainers that have worked with our son
Derek, who is a Junior Goodrich High School and plays Varsity
Basketball. Derek has been working out and taking lessons Andrew McGarry since the fall of 2007.
Derek enjoys the
Vertimax training and has seen an 8 inch improvement in his vertical
jump. We also like the physical conditioning geared for ball
players which will help Derek prepare for next year's High School
season. Derek and I recommend the training and lessons offered by Max
Basketball for both younger players just starting to play basketball
and also serious players looking to improve their competitive game."

"I trained with Andrew for just a couple of hours,
but I came away with a ton of stuff to help my game. Andrew was
an excellent teacher and communicator and his facility is top notch.
I was especially impressed with the Vertimax machine and how helpful
it was to building fast twitch muscle fibers."

Mike
Bila - Goodrich, Michigan
"My son Nathan is on the Goodrich varsity basketball team. We
have been working with Andrew for over six months and couldn't be
happier. He has helped Nate become a better basketball and football
player by incorporating the Vertimax training system in the personal
training sessions. I highly recommend Andrew to
anyone who wants to improve their skills and become a better
athlete."

Bob
Cryer - Fenton, Michigan
"I have known Andrew for close to a
year now. What has drawn my family to him, was his Christian love for
young people. We became acquainted with Andy through basketball when
we began taking our son to him to be "trained" in
basketball, but more importantly because we wanted or son to be seen
as more than a basketball player, but to be seen as a child of God
first, and that is what Andy provides. Over the course of the past
year, we have become friends, and Andy has shared his vision of
the "Crossover Team" with me on several occasions. The
passion that is displayed when we take about the vision to reconcile
the church as Christ intended it to be is amazing. I look forward to
the event that is being planned at our church, as I feel the Lord will
lay on Andy's heart the message that he wants us to hear, and that the
Holy Spirit will move in a way that impacts lives of both young
and old." Spirit will move in a way that impacts lives of both young
and old."

Robert and Linnae Sauvola
- Grand Blanc, Michigan
"Andy and his staff at planet hoops continue to be a positive
influence in Nathan’s life. They train, mentor and guide beyond
the sport of basketball. The versatile training regimen provides
the athlete the tools to master their place on the court. Over the
course of a year we have seen our son grow into a much more confident
and competent player."

Pastor Kerry
Collins , Philadelphia Church of God, Philadelphia, MS
"I have meet Andrew
only one weekend of my life, but I can say with out question that he has
a heart beat for the Lord Jesus Christ. I can say that because character
is that unseen trait that the Lord is forming in us all, we are all at
different stages in life and are at different character development as
well. Andrew is strong in his biblical formation, and is being molded
(becoming that kind of disciple the bible speaks of) in his life - for
the glory of God. He is going places, and he is doing great works for
the Lord. I have seen first hand the heart of this dear Brother in
Christ. I went with him into the heart of my home state of Mississippi
to be a blessing for the storm victims."

Pastor Dennis Lutz, Westside
Church - Flint, Michigan
"With
a personality that is dynamic and a passion for life in God, Andrew is a
motivator! God has blessed Him with a sense to not just ask the right
questions, but act on them! His sharp grasp of the practical
side of the spiritual has been a constant energizer in my time with
Andrew for the last four and a half years. I count him as a vital part
of my walk with God, and close friend."

Jim Barrel,
Brother in Christ
"A
few words about my friend and brother in Christ, Andrew McGarry. First
and foremost, Andrew has a servant’s heart. He tirelessly serves with
no concern of his gain. Andrew’s straight forward communication style
is refreshingly direct, and he backs it up with real-world experience
and examples. I would highly recommend Andrew for inspiration, insight
and a cutting-edge way of reaching your body of believers."
