How I can help you improve your game:
I believe the first step to helping someone improve their game is by starting with the mental if we can’t change our mindset, we can’t truly change a persons game so starting there and stealing confidence and teaching them how to utilize their body and mine in the same degree it’s no doubt a child will grow immensely with me but teaching them why is my task?
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I treat every individual as a professional, we always start off with Notes more so on anatomy, food combining, Preparation, And mental prep talks, After we go into a quick 15 minute functional weight training session to teach them how to utilize their body for the game, The last hour we get our skill work, which is fundamental based and game simulated all at the same time not rushing the process, but making sure they understand the game mentally.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I’ve coached every age in the game of aau I’ve worked with thousands of kids and have played all over the world from all I learned I am now giving back to create better leaders.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I’ve had was a coach named coach Eisenhower he taught me the basics and fundamentals of the game unlike any other and taught me how to truly utilize my mind & body
What athletes and parents should know about me:
In my program I’m not just training kids to become amazing on the court , but to become better leaders and show them how sports translates over into real life , life gets tough but having a battle mentality is what we all need in a sense to better tackle adversity, I teach kids what to eat how to prepare before a game what they should watch , how to overcome fears and traumas from the game and over all to be the best versions of themselves and to understand their true purpose and how it’s always bigger than the game of basketball

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?

It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship.
