Rising Stars: Meet Michael Kelly of Dallas-Fort Worth

Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Kelly.

Hi Michael, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I always love the game of basketball, so a friend of mine (in 2021) invited me to an open run. I went and that’s when I met my mentor Coach Charles Williams. I’ve been up under him since then learning and soaking up everything from him!

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Like everything else in life, coaching has its ups and downs. You win some, you lose some, but the most important thing out of coaching is building up athletes in and out the game; and that can take some time. You see some of these kids highs and lows, and sometimes them not trusting you draws friction, where a relationship can’t happen or begins to stall.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a basketball coach/trainer where I help build our athletes game and character. Basketball is more than a game, it’s an avenue to help kids become disciplined, humble, and consistent. To see our athletes leave our program not just a better player, but a better person is truly amazing!

How do you think about happiness?
What makes me happy and serving people and helping others become the best them!
