TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

1

"Some things I enjoyed about skillsbyty is the detailed workouts we would have each time we would come in and work in the gym. Some highlights of our workouts would be intense game like situations with everything being game like and constant repetition throughout the workout. The ball handling paired with the shooting workouts have greatly increased my game and are drills that I still use and will continue to use to improve my performance on the court."

"My son trained with Coach Tyler Matthews for basketball. Coach Matthews is extremely dedicated to helping young players develop their basketball skills. Coach Matthews is detail oriented and knowledgeable in the sport of basketball. He'll help your child develop their skills as he did mine. I highly recommend Coach Tyler Matthews for basketball training."

"I saw Ty at the map and had my son Xander start growing with him. His attention to detail and focus on getting the fundamentals right was amazing. He gets to know each player individually focusing on their specific needs. He mentors about life not just basketball. He walked my son through film all summer to help his game elevate. I highly recommend Ty and his program for advancing your game substantially."

"Our 10 yr old son trained with Tyler for 4 months recently and it was a solid time of growth for him skills-wise and in his self confidence. Tyler brings not only the necessary drills to improve ball handling/shooting but also has a mentor-like approach that our son enjoyed. Tyler also doesn't waste any time (time is $!), so you go from one drill to the next. You really get a lot accomplished in a short amount of time."

"In just three months of private training, Coach Tyler has completely elevated my son game! His guidance, patience, and passion made every session valuable. We are sad to see him go as he pursues his education, but we wish him all the best and hope to train with him again once he's back. Thank you, Coach Tyler, and good luck!"

"Tyler has trained me for almost a year. The progress that I saw while I was training with him was amazing. He will coach you through the struggles that you have out on the court. He is always patient with you even if you mess up over and over again. At the end of the day he will always be cheering you on and helping you get better. Coach Tyler always made me love the game more and more. He made me more motivated in myself to get better. I loved the way he was always enthusiastic with any drill we would do. He always had energy and never was moody. He is always there for you. Even when you need help makntaning a good mental health. He doesn't just do basketball skills but he was great with mental health and mentality tips. He helped me a lot with my mindset on how I approach certain things in basketball and life as well. The things that he would do to make me just a better player overall. I really appreciate him being my trainer. Coach Tyler is great!"

"Ethan is currently a 14 year old 5'9 freshman varsity player in Fairmont prep. He is with Tyler for about 1 year. We found Tyler from instagram sharing his 4 yr High school Varsity experience in LosAL, I love Tyler not only offer real game situation skill training + read but sharing the metal part of the game. Tylor took time to talk to Ethan after training to mentor him mentally. To prepare him for high school basketball with the correct mindset. I recommend Tyler to grassroots hoopers who want to get better with basketball. Ethan will continue to train with Tylor when he is back to LA in summer."
