About Michael

I'm Mike, founder of Myth Sports Development. I've trained young basketball players across Los Angeles and Orange County for eight years. I played three years of varsity, the Adidas circuit, and AAU, and was recruited at the D2 level. Then I went from community college to UCLA, where I graduated Phi Beta Kappa, and I'm now the CEO of a mid-size youth & workforce development non-profit Our Generation Cares. So I coach the game and the road after it. Every player trains inside frameworks I built with my team, including the VAR Method and the 5 Core Skills, through our Bronze, Silver, and Gold development tiers. You're getting so much more than just basketball training, but the core skill work is high level.

The Myth Development Framework

Every session runs on the VAR Method. We set a clear goal together (Vision), train toward it with focused reps (Action), and review what worked and adjust (Revision). Each player sets one big goal for the season, and every session moves them toward it.

A typical one-hour session has three phases:

Vision and Game-Ready Skills (30 minutes)
We start from your strongest skill and build out from there, whether that's shooting range, footwork, or on-ball defense. The goal is turning what you practice into what shows up in games.
Conditioning and Movement (15 minutes)
We train the body positions behind speed and quickness, like balance, stance, and shin angles, so skills hold up in the fourth quarter.
Basketball IQ and Leadership (15 minutes)
Live reads and game situations teach players to make smart, confident decisions. We want the player every coach trusts on the floor, the one who talks, competes, and knows where to be.

Every family starts with a free assessment, then begins at Bronze. Silver and Gold are by invitation, offered to players whose goals and commitment call for more.

Bronze, $600 a month: one weekly one-on-one session, two hours of film review each month, and leadership development training. Founding families pay $450 a month for their first year.

Silver, by invitation: everything in Bronze, plus a second weekly session and a monthly video to build a college recruiting profile.

Gold, by invitation: unlimited weekly sessions, unlimited film review, academic and mindset coaching, and a full year of access to Myth's online resources.
