"Coach Michael is not only able to teach the game in a real-game situation, but his quality in his own game allows Mak to get proper balls to finish in all aspects of shooting & passing" – Mak's Dad, Josh
Mak Whitham flew from NorCal to SoCal to train with me for one week, and within 10 minutes, I knew she was special—her abilities far exceeded her age group. Together with her dad Josh, we created a plan for her to go pro, starting with her move to SoCal in July 2023 to train with me 3x a week and play for Slammers FC 09. Her growth was exceptional, leading to opportunities with SC Blue Heat FC, LA FC Academy boys team, and eventually signing with Nike, playing with USYNT, and being represented by Team AVsports. At 13, she made history as the youngest pro athlete in the USA when Gotham FC offered her a contract. Today, as she moves to New York to begin her pro career, I’m incredibly proud of her dedication, humility, and determination. Thank you, Mak and Josh, for trusting me to be part of this incredible journey.
