    Morten Holm-Nielsen (Parent)

  • While Mitch was a professional player at BK Amager, he helped our club in many areas.

    Mitchell led and organized our 2023 youth camp that had over 100 players. He was able to create a positive environment where our youth players got to learn about the game of basketball and connect with our elite players while giving each youth player an enjoyable experience. The camp was well organized and run. The feedback we received from both players and coaches was very complimentary.
