I help players improve their game by focusing on both individual skills and overall development. I work on key areas like shooting, ball handling, defense, and footwork through targeted drills. My coaching is personalized, adapting to each player’s personality and goals to ensure they feel supported and challenged. Building confidence is a big part of my approach, creating an environment where players can take risks, learn from mistakes, and grow. I also emphasize the importance of teamwork, helping athletes understand how their role contributes to the team’s success. By focusing on game awareness, strategy, and decision-making, I help players become smarter and more well-rounded on the court.
Warm-Up: We start with dynamic stretches and light exercises to get the body ready, focusing on mobility and flexibility.
Skill Work: Depending on the player’s focus, we spend time on key fundamentals such as shooting, ball handling, passing, and footwork. This part of the session is tailored to what the player needs to improve on most.
Game Situations: I incorporate drills that mimic real-game scenarios, helping players improve decision-making, positioning, and court awareness. These can include offensive and defensive drills or scrimmages to simulate live play.
Conditioning: We finish with basketball-specific conditioning exercises to build endurance and keep the player in peak shape, while maintaining a focus on skill execution under pressure.
Cool-Down and Review: We end with a cool-down and stretch, followed by a brief review of what went well and areas for continued focus. I also offer feedback on what to work on before the next session.
I have 3 years of coaching experience at Ave Maria Catholic School, where I worked with 3rd and 4th grade girls' and boys' teams. I also coached 5th and 6th grade girls' and boys' teams at Butler basketball, gaining valuable experience in developing young athletes at various skill levels. My focus is always on fostering teamwork, confidence, and individual growth in every player.
The best coach I’ve ever had is Brad Stevens. I was fortunate to attend his basketball camp at Butler, where I was named camper of the week in back-to-back summers. His understanding of the game is unmatched he has the best basketball mind I’ve ever been around. Beyond his technical expertise, what sets him apart is his passion for the game, which was unlike anything I had ever seen. He cared deeply about developing players, both on and off the court, and that made him an even greater person. His influence has stuck with me, and he remains my favorite coach ever.
I believe basketball is a team sport, and true success comes from working together, not trying to outshine others. My coaching philosophy is centered around helping each player develop their game, focusing on their specific needs. I tailor my approach to fit what your child wants to work on, ensuring a personalized experience. I take pride in building confidence in young athletes, working with their unique personalities to create a coaching style that brings out their best on and off the court.

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!
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.
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.
