Book Private Basketball Lessons with Coach Abraham
The role of a coach varies widely among individuals and manifests in many forms. A coach might be a friend, a mentor, someone you admire, or even someone whose advice you resist. The coach alone defines this role by their approach and execution of their practice. To me, coaching transcends merely running a class. It's my genuine passion to assist others and impart the knowledge I've acquired and continue to acquire. I view myself as an eternal student of the discipline. Coaching has been transformative for me, guiding me through my darkest times and teaching me that, regardless of what your mind says, you're never defeated. It has also enabled me to understand my body in ways I never deemed possible. Coming from an extensive athletic background, I can now reflect and recognize the crucial aspects I wasn't taught, like mobility, technique, capability, and mindset. It has instilled in me the virtue of patience. Success doesn't come easily; it must be earned. Years of incorrect practice with minimal guidance conditions your body accordingly, and it takes an equal amount of time to retrain it to move and function correctly. What does being a coach mean to me? It's my everything. I aim not just to conduct a class but to educate my athletes. I'm not a babysitter; I'm a professional dedicated to improving each individual, helping them advance towards their goals. Witnessing my athletes' progress is incredibly fulfilling, and it's the reason I wake up eager every day to continue this journey.

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!
