COCHING STYLE & EXPERIENCE 

Skill development, strength conditioning and mental toughness are some of the key vocal points for coach Mario. After coaching part time in the La Liga 12U in Barcelona Spain Mario picked up some unique European tactics which he continues to utilize on American players. These methods are the same forefronts utilized nationwide by the highest organizations including the NBA. " We at Level up prep believe that each and every one of our players is on a road to success. Our mission is to facilitate and help athletes maintain their pace." Mario went on to explain " Do not come here and become satisfied with being average. One of the crucial lessons I've learned at the collegiate and professional level is to never surrender, never give up on your hopes and dreams. I know it is easier said than done, but we are here to provide assistance, and we'll keep pushing you forward."

Athletes signing to collegiate institutions has been a direct result in working with coach Mario. Players such as Jahleel Hanley (Olive Harvey College) 2019, Sam Griffin (Tulsa University) 2021 and Ernest Brima (SUNY Alster University) 2022 are some of the most recent athletes.
