Coach Romps is a fantastic instructor and has really helped my son develop his basketball game. He is super positive,... and is able to quickly diagnose the holes in a player’s game and come up with a plan to help fix them. My son's left hand is now so strong because of Coach Romps' work that opposing coaches often think my son is lefthanded and try to force him to go right! I’ve seen him work equally as well with players of high skill level and those just looking to make their school team. I can’t recommend him highly enough.read more

Mike has been an absolute inspirational mentor to our daughter. When Mike first started working with our daughter she... was extremely shy, full of anxiety and struggled with reading. Once diagnosed with a specific learning disability that directly impacted her ability to read Mike took her under his wing and helped her find the confidence in herself to believe she can do hard things. He gave her strategies to work through her anxiety when it came to reading and uncomfortable situations. His tough love, guidance and holding her accountable for her actions and success made her just that, successful!!! Since working with Mike she has become a confident, grade level reader! Mike is such a wonderful mentor!! We are forever grateful for the opportunity we were given to work with him. The work you do with children and their families is priceless! We could never thank you enough for the positive impact you have made in our daughter’s life.read more

Mike has been an amazing coach to our daughter. His coaching style has made such a big difference for her in a short... amount of time. He makes learning skills fun but also teaches kids commitment and discipline at the same time. In addition, he truly cares about their progress both physically and mentally and takes the time to check in on how they are doing in his free time. We would recommend him for anyone that is looking for a coach or mentor for their kid.read more

Mike has been a true blessing to our entire family. We were introduced to him during the pandemic when our son was... struggling with remote learning and the isolation of that time period. They bonded over basketball, but their relationship extends far beyond the court. Last year, he had to choose his hero and write a report about that person for school, and he chose Mike. When he needs someone to talk to outside of his parents, Mike is always there for him. Mike has helped him develop into a more confident, motivated kid both on and off the court. He is an incredible support for us, the parents, as well. We recommend him to everyone we know and can't speak highly enough about him.read more

I know Coach Romps because of basketball but he has always been there for me whether it was on the court or off the... court. No matter what you go to him for he helps you out in life and makes sure you improve. Basketball wise he has improved my game from when I was younger with a weak left hand and forced me to be able to use both hands. He also helped improve my confidence, I went from a player who was afraid to shoot and would shy away from big moments to a player who embraces those moments and isn’t afraid on the court. This carried over into life for me as well, I have that same confidence in everything that I do now. When I was first looking for what prep schools to go to he helped guide me through that process making sure I looked at multiple schools. Overall he has not just been a coach/trainer for me he has also been a mentor and helped me better myself as not just an athlete but as a human being.read more

I cannot say enough good things about Coach Mike Romps. He has been coaching my daughter for 3 years and she has made... great progress as a post player. He also has worked on all of the other aspects of her game and deeply cares about the welfare of all his players on and off the court.read more

Mike has been an incredible asset to me and my children. He is a thoughtful coach who inspires all of us . There is a... quote by Maya Angelou, that comes to mind when I think of Mike. "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Highly recommend this awesome human!read more

Mike is incredibly unique. He connects easily with kids and parents in a very supportive way while also holding all... accountable. He meets kids where they are at emotionally and physically and develops personal plans and goals around the individual, truly unique. My teenage son has greatly benefited from working with Mike. He has worked on goal setting, physical fitness and basketball skills. He doesn’t always follow through or follow the plan but Mike continues to work with our work in progress :). Romps Life is truly an amazing organization. Basketball skills, physical fitness/nutrition goal setting and very importantly life skills are taught here. I don’t know of another organization like this, it’s great!!!read more
Danielle P.
My daughter was struggling emotionally through the pandemic. We knew we needed to get her some social and emotional... support. We could not find a counselor during this difficult time. Basketball is her favorite sport so we decided to incorporate her passion and personal development together. She did some one on one coaching for about a month then quickly switched to group sessions playing ball. It was like a switched flipped in our kid. Each session Coach gave her a physical goal and mental goal. Her attitude improved drastically. We are grateful we took this approach to help our daughter and equally as grateful to have found Coach Romps!!!read more

Mike has been a great mentor for my son, emotional and physically. He helps to encourage him to reach for anything he... wants and more. He provides suggestions for him to try when he is struggling and checks in with him throughout the week. He has helped him to improve his basketball skills and physical strength. I have looked for over a year to find someone to help my son. I cannot be more thankful.read more

It is a rare case that you truly encounter a transformative influence. Mike Romps sets the standard for holistic.

I reached out to Mike Romps of RompLIFE, LLC for my son originally. He was struggling with his work ethic and attitude.... We set goals for the weeks ahead, he did weekly check ins (which made my son feel loved and supported) and he worked with him on his basketball skills and his fitness level/nutrition. Although, they did not work together for a great length of time, he was a huge influence on my child. Mike was committed to the process, seeing his capabilities, encouraging him always and giving him the tough love that he needed. In the process of him working with my own child, I realized that I, myself, could use a life coach. Living with depression for more than half my life has caused a lot of pain and distress over the years. Mike is always there when I need him, text, phone call or a work out. He motivates me to be the person I want to be. Feeling helpless, incapable and unmotivated when you know you have amazing things to offer is the worst feeling. Mike allows me to express my feelings, he listens and then provides me with the positivity that I need to get back on track. I consider him to be a true friend for life.read more
Andrew G.
Coach Romps was my high school basketball coach and the best coach I've ever had (even though basketball was my second... favorite sport!). He knew how to push his players both on and off the court. He also got us involved in the community through fundraising, special events, and children's camps. To this day he motivates me and helps me to be a better and healthier person. I highly recommend his programs to anyone needing that extra inspiration, support, and understanding; and even those just looking for a killer workout!! Proud of you Coach!read more
Abbe L.
I have Mike Romps to thank for a lot. He hasn’t only helped me develop my basketball skills but has shaped me into a... better athlete and human as a whole. He deeply cares for his clients and is willing to give any advice and work for as long as needed to see his clients succeed. I greatly saw my basketball skills get better when I started working out with him and they continue to excel whenever I am home and working out with him. He also has very good advice with nutrition and every day life advice. He’s more than a coach but also a very good friend I can reach out to.read more

Mike is passionate about ALL he does. He has worked with my daughter in her High School Years and now that she is a... College Athlete . Every workout is positive, productive, and purposeful and she is improving her skills, becoming more confident, and having FUN! He not only works on her Basketball skills, but also wants to make sure her Nutrition is solid, that she is getting enough sleep, and that her mind is healthy. I recommend Mike 110%!!! - Brigitte Laurence (Abbe Laurence’s Mom)read more

Meeting Mike truly changed my life. When I met him I was ready for change but didn’t know where to start and didn’t... have a clear idea of the direction I wanted to head in. Mike helped me to hone in on my goals and taught me strategies to reach them, as well as opened my mind up to new concepts. One of Mike’s gifts is his ability to really see his clients and understand how to uniquely speak to and motivate them. Working with him was the catalyst to lasting change in my life.Since then I have also had him work with my daughter both in basketball and life coaching, and it’s been an experience like no other in her life, like nothing I had experienced as a kid, and like I imagine most kids never get to experience. Mike somehow finds a way to come down to a child’s level and raise them up at the same time, helping them to really see all of the options life has for them and making them feel confident with where they are heading.I highly recommend RompsLIFE to anyone who is looking for more in their life for themselves or their children!read more

Coach Romps has helped my son with all aspects of his game. His training is helping my son to think better on the... court, to play harder and to want to be the best he can be. Mike knows the game and knows what each player needs to address in their game to take it to the next level.
