Book Private Basketball Lessons with Coach Sean
My name is Sean Ulrich, and I have a deep passion for basketball, which has been a central part of my life for many years. I am a former four-year high school basketball player at Bellbrook High School, where I honed my skills and developed a profound understanding of the game. As a coach, I have had the privilege of training young athletes and helping them reach their full potential. I served as a Basketball Camp Coach at Bellbrook Schools, where I trained 30 players in the 4th and 5th grade, managed and supervised trainers, and organized all training drills and camp activities. Additionally, I coached the JV summer basketball team, leading weekly league games and guiding my team through challenging tournaments against Division 1 high school opponents. My coaching philosophy centers on the love for the game and a commitment to continuous learning. I am always a student of basketball, constantly seeking to understand the nuances and strategies that make the game so exciting. I emphasize the importance of making the correct reads and building your game on a solid foundation of fundamentals. My goal is to help players make the right basketball plays, improve their skills, and develop their basketball IQ.

How I can help you improve your game:
Improving your game starts with understanding. Coaches often complain their players will forget a play or pass it to the wrong person. They try and fix this problem by repetition and walking through their set plays over and over. The issue is they are teaching their players to have tunnel vision and not be able to read the game in front of them. I can improve your game by giving you a greater understanding of the game itself which allows you to see why set plays go the way they do as well as improving your basketball IQ.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
When it comes to personal training everybody is different. Every player needs something different from their trainer, whether it be specific skills, basic fundamentals, or learning how to read basketball plays properly. A typical training session with me consists identifying a specific issue and then attacking that issue. For example a player might have trouble coming off the pick and roll while keeping their head up and reading what the defense is giving them. First thing we would work on is keeping their head up while dribbling and coming off the screen. Once we have that down we would work on reading what the defense is giving us. We would go through different scenarios and learn how to properly read them. Whether the defense is blitzing, switching, going under, or going over we work on identifying the defense while learning the correct read to turn it into our advantage. Every training session will have your standard warm up and shooting drills as well, but by attacking specific issues each session it allows us to slowly build the players knowledge and understanding of the game in a broad sense rather than just hammering out skills drills which are necessary but also easy to do on their own time and their time with their coaches.

Best coach I ever had:
My Best Coach I ever had was my JV coach sophomore year of High School, Coach Mark Erwin. The reason he was my favorite Coach is because he maximized the potential of everyone playing for him. He was able to command respect from his team while allowing his players to play freely and confidently. Us players wanted to play and win for him, which is a testament to how he coached.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and Parents should know that I am dedicated to the sport and passing on my basketball knowledge to the next generation. I am a student of the game and love studying, innovating and creating within the game. I know what the coaches are looking for and I can help you not only learn the fundamentals of the game but also learn how to get you playing time.

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 determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
