Who is Mike Dunn:

Mike Dunn played college basketball for Hall of Fame Coach Herb Magee at Philadelphia University.  Herb was also a professional shooting coach and Mike was fortunate enough to work some camps with him during his time there that gave him his first real glimpse into the "training" type world.  Mike graduated in 2009, got a desk job, and thought basketball was pretty much over for him after that.  In 2016 on a trip to Boston he had some moment where he knew there was something else he could be doing.  He made a call to his wife and told her that he was going to set out on this journey to "teach" shooting - He didn't know how he was going to do it, but he was going to make it his mission to learn and teach everything that he had learned in his basketball career.  From there it was advertising himself on Craiglist, going to local gyms...doing whatever he could to get his name out there and allowed him to teach.  From driveways to gyms - he just slowly began to build momentum and hasn't really stopped since. Now Mike Dunn has 140k engaged followers on Instagram, coaches elite athletes, and is on a journey to make an impact in the world.

Mike Dunn's Keys To The Game Within:

• Set clear and defined goal of what you want
• Wake up early – deal with you
• Commit to being a life long learner
• Get in shape – body moves/mind moves
• Surround yourself with like minded people
• Read
• Faith
• Do the damn thing
