Bio: 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.
