About Me:
Throughout my basketball career, I have achieved significant success and recognition for my skills on the court. My journey began at Longwood University, where I was honored to be named to the All-Independent First Team during my senior year, showcasing my talent and dedication to the game. Following my college career, I pursued a professional basketball career overseas, which spanned an impressive 12 years. During this time, I earned multiple All-Import First Team accolades, highlighting my consistent performance at a high level. Additionally, I achieved multiple Guard of the Year awards, demonstrating my proficiency and impact as a guard on the court. Furthermore, I was fortunate to win multiple championships throughout my professional career, solidifying my legacy as a successful and accomplished basketball player. My basketball journey has been filled with hard work, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, and I am proud of the accomplishments and experiences that have shaped my career.
How I can help you improve your game:
I believe that I can help someone improve their game by focusing on both their weaknesses and strengths. By identifying areas where a player may need improvement and working on those weaknesses, we can enhance their overall performance on the court. Whether it be refining shooting technique, improving defensive skills, or developing better court awareness, I am dedicated to tailoring workouts to address specific areas of growth.
In addition to honing in on weaknesses, I also recognize the importance of refining a player's strengths. By further developing their strong suits and maximizing their potential in those areas, we can help elevate their game to the next level. I am committed to creating a well-rounded training program that not only targets areas for improvement but also emphasizes and enhances a player's existing skills and talents.
Furthermore, I believe in the value of observing players in game situations to better understand their playing style, tendencies, and decision-making on the court. By watching players in action, I can gather valuable insights that can be incorporated into our workouts and training sessions, helping to tailor the training to the individual player's needs and goals.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session would be
- Ball handling warmup
- Form shooting drills
- Spot shooting drills
- Movement without the ball shooting drills
- Pass and relocate into a shot drills
- Denying the wing defense drills
- Closing out on the shooter drills
- Various moves into a shot drills
- Finishing with conditioning shooting drills
Career summary and accomplishments:
Throughout my coaching background, I have had the privilege of working with aspiring basketball players at various levels. During my professional basketball career overseas, I took on the role of coaching a Junior team, where I had the opportunity to mentor and develop young talent on the court. This experience allowed me to share my knowledge of the game, instill valuable skills, and help shape the next generation of athletes. In addition to coaching a Junior team, I have also dedicated my time to working at several basketball camps, where I have had the chance to coach teenagers on the fundamentals of the game. These camps have provided a platform for me to inspire and motivate young players, helping them hone their skills, build confidence, and realize their potential as athletes.
Best coach I ever had:
One of the most influential figures in my basketball journey has been Coach Bellamy. Under his guidance and mentorship, I learned valuable lessons that transcended the basketball court. Coach Bellamy instilled in me the importance of hard work, both on and off the court. He pushed me to strive for excellence in everything I did, teaching me the value of dedication and commitment to my craft.
Beyond basketball skills, Coach Bellamy also emphasized the importance of life skills and character development. He taught me the significance of teamwork, leadership, and perseverance, qualities that have not only shaped me as a player but as a person as well. Coach Bellamy's mentorship went beyond the game of basketball; he was invested in my growth and development as a whole individual.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
