Improving skills: help your child take the next step forward
Is your child ready to get serious about his sport? Is he ready to work on improving skills?
If so, you may decide that private coaching is the next step.
Private sports coaching is a large industry in the U.S.; a recent report suggests that it’s a $6 billion market, with positive annual growth and hundreds of thousands of coaches working in the space.
With so many coaches to choose from, how can you find the coach that is just right for your child?

CEO and founder Jordan Fliegel experienced for himself the power of a good private coach:
I was a very mediocre high school basketball player who, through sheer luck, stumbled across a private coach who taught me how to really play the game. I improved tremendously through his coaching, was recruited to play at one of the best colleges in the country, and after graduating, earned an opportunity to play professional basketball overseas. I later became a private coach, which has allowed me to stay involved in the sport I love, and to pay it forward to young athletes.
Jordan and his team at CoachUp believe they are helping other athletes like Jordan was helped as they connect them with independent private coaches who offer the highest standards of private coaches who offer the highest standards of quality and service.
Although CoachUp is based in Boston, they have coaches in other parts of the country, and will be expanding rapidly. For parents looking for private coaching for their kids in other markets, they can search to see if CoachUp has coaches in those cities & sports, and if not, CoachUp will work for the parent to go out and find, interview, and connect private coaches that match their needs!
