“I am the a parent of a Division III basketball player, a coach of over 20 youth basketball teams, both boys and girls and the owner of www.BasketballTrainingReport.com.

As a parent, I am very interested in helping my son get access to the latest training information possible, so he can compete at the D3 level. At that level, being faster, stronger, quicker and jumping higher matters much more than at the high school level. My son’s vertical is now up over 1.5 inches in just 2 weeks…which is very encouraging (this is true improvement measured by a Vertec, not the crazy numbers you see spread all over the internet that have no meaning). We are also using Alex’s ball-handling product and find it to have something that other ball-handling products we have looked at lack…a solid progression over time, step by step, with testing.

As a basketball coach, I know I don’t really have time to help my kids get stronger or jump higher…just like every coach I know. It would be a Godsend to have someone like Alex to send them to so they can not only improve their skills, but their athleticism in the off-season.

What makes Alex unique is his focus on basketball players; most trainers try to apply football or general training principles to basketball players, yet basketball players goals and bodies are different, and thus, require a more individualized form of training.

Finally, as the owner of www.BasketballTrainingReport.com, I review many products and trainers focused on basketball. Some are weak. Some are good, and a few are great. I would put Alex in that great category and give him my highest recommendation.

“Since I have known Alex Maroko, I have noticed a few things. First, he lives for Strength & Conditioning. Second, he gets results with his own training. Third, he stays on top of current research but never neglects the all-important fundamentals. Finally, he writes QUALITY articles & training programs/routines.”

“There is no one else I would trust training basketball players more than Alex Maroko. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable and straight-up GETS RESULTS. He truly is a prodigy!”
