Hi, my name is Maicol. (Pronounced Michael) Two things you will wonder about the moment we meet - where am I from and how tall am I? I was born in Brazil and picked up a ball for the first time when I was over six feet tall and already 15 years old- it’s never too late! I grew all the way through my second year of college at Cedarville university in shoe size and height, I ended up 6’8 by 21 years old. Since then, I have experienced great heights and low lows navigating this adventure called life. As a former club player in Porto Alegre, Brazil with Sogipa, a college player at Cedarville University in the US, an assistant coach in Clark Summit, PA at Baptist Bible College, a club coach in Santa Cruz, Brazil at Unico, and recreational coach for various children’s sports in the US, I bring you realistic, honest, practical experience and life lessons. I have achievements such as State and National Championship titles and short falls that taught me to work harder and train more effectively. Somethings I value: hard-work, integrity, faith, loyalty, mentorship, friendship, and family. Mastering basketball is a journey, and I'm passionate about guiding you every step of the way. With 30 years of experience as a player and coach, I provide personalized training designed to elevate your skills and basketball IQ. But, even more than just helping you achieve your full potential on the court, as an ordained pastor with years of church planting experience in the US and in Brazil, I care about you as a person that has purpose and vitality off the court as well. Growing up in Brazil, basketball presented me with an opportunity for a needed change and to develop my passion not only for basketball, but to live my life to the fullest. I look forward to working with you on your mental game and developing you as a resilient player regardless of your current level.

Basketball is what I dedicated myself to as a kid. Through the years I have had many trainers and professionals guide me to a level that I am proud of today. I spent 4 years at University of Indianapolis playing for the Grey Hounds. I was the 15th player in their history to score 1000 points and grab 500 rebounds, I also hold the all time and single season record for blocks. After being at a basketball exposure tour for 2 days in Portugal, I was immediately flown to Oldenburg Germany to begin my brief but educational professional basketball career. Over the years I’ve learned what is most valued at each level and how to show other coaches you have what they need. My love for sport is what drives me most, and I strive to instill that love in the players I train.

With 38 years of basketball instruction under my belt, I foster player growth and the love of hoops! My foundation in basketball development began on the court, not in an office. I launched Get There Training, a basketball academy in Albuquerque, NM, where I personally trained youth, collegiate, and professional athletes, helping them reach their peak performance. I was privileged to serve on the staff for the LeBron James Skills Academy for three consecutive years, collaborating with high-performance trainers like Ganon Baker, and contributing to one of the most prestigious player development platforms in the country. Was also a basketball coach at NM State University for 3 years.

Having played golf my entire life, I briefly coached high school golf, gaining most of my coaching experience from playing with others and witnessing their positive growth. Golf is like no other sport,and I warn people the better you become the more frustrated it becomes.. My opinion there's nothing more satisfying than envisioning a shot in your head and that exact shot,it provides a satisfaction like none other and you become obsessed with wanting that to feeling every shot you take.. The passion for the game I have ignites a fire in me and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you and help make you a better player!!!
