You will be a better player… Guaranteed
A focus on fundamentals, learning how to play with and without the basketball and how you can become an elite defender. They have a track record of creating these types of players.
How I can help you improve
I can help you as long as you’re willing to help yourself and always build on everything you did yesterday by doing it better today. I will always support you, but I will never enable failure. I will always make sure you always feel like you’re getting better.
A typical training session
A lot of discussion about angles percentages, the science of the sport and essentially staying focused on what you’re doing and never renting. I tend to teach a very stubborn bossy way of playing where you do not allow yourself to get bullied by anybody you are the alpha even if you’re not at the time. The first way to improving your entire player make up is by essentially telling the world you’re here and you’re gonna be here for a long time.
Career & accomplishments
Coach four years of college basketball one year of college volleyball eight years of high school basketball one year of high school volleyball and four years of high school tennis. Usually took over teams that were very unfortunate and immediately turned them around into a team that could compete for a win and they would just keep going and going even even after I left. Have connections with college to help kids get recruited and as a recruiter to pretty well myself.
Best coach I ever had
I didn’t have any good coaches when I was a player, but I had some good coaches when I became a coach when I was an assistant. I would probably say Sarah Novak.
What athletes & parents should know
I will make them all field with their valued for their time when they could be doing something else. I never believed in having kids sit the bench. I have a feeling that kids should always be feeling like they’re participating and contributing. That is my responsibility so I don’t Coach the level of talent I coached the level of effort regardless of how good or bad someone might think they are.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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.
