How I can help you improve your game:
I help my athletes improve their game by identifying areas for growth and implementing targeted drills that emphasize skills such as shooting, ball handling, defense, footwork, and decision-making. My approach involves breaking down complex movements into simpler components, allowing players to grasp them more effectively. Additionally, I provide mental coaching to help athletes stay focused, build resilience, and develop a competitive mindset that will help them perform under pressure on and off the court.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session starts with a dynamic warm-up to prepare the body and activate key muscle groups. We then move into individual skill development, focusing on areas like shooting technique, dribbling, or passing. I incorporate high-intensity drills to simulate game situations and improve reaction time, followed by SAQ( speed,agility, quickness) drills to enhance conditioning,footwork and coordination. Each session ends with cool-down exercises to ensure that players are improving both physically and mentally. I also provide feedback throughout the entire session to help athletes make real-time adjustments.
Career summary and accomplishments:
With 14 years of experience training basketball players of all ages and skill levels, I have honed the ability to design personalized programs that focus on fundamental skills, basketball IQ, and player development. My coaching philosophy centers on building a solid foundation, boosting confidence, and emphasizing teamwork. I have successfully worked with athletes ranging from 5th grade to college players, helping them achieve their goals through tailored, goal-oriented training.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Debbie Palmore, a gold medal Olympian who played at Boston University. Her deep knowledge, passion, and ability to inspire pushed me beyond my limits. She emphasized playing with H.E.A.R T (Humility, Excellence, Appreciation, Responsibility, Tenacity) leaving a lasting impact on my approach to coaching and life.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
As a basketball skills trainer and personal trainer with over 10 years of experience, I am deeply passionate about helping athletes reach their full potential both on and off the court. My approach focuses on building functional strength, improving athletic performance, and fostering a strong work ethic. I prioritize individualized attention to each athlete's needs, ensuring they develop not only technical skills but also confidence and resilience. Parents can trust that I am dedicated to the development of their athlete, emphasizing injury prevention, discipline, and long-term success

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!
