Helping athletes unlock their confidence and potential through effective skills!
I am Anna Yellen, a current college basketball player, and I am looking to help other athletes build their confidence by sharpening their fundamentals and playing for the right reasons - with a purpose. I will focus on game-like drills, footwork, shooting, and IQ development. These are the habits that separate good players from great ones. My goal is to help any driven athlete reach their next best level, one day at a time.

About Me:
I am currently wrapping up my graduate year as a student-athlete at the The University of Texas at Dallas. I played basketball as a Comet for the past 5 years. I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas and moved to Dallas to continue my basketball career.
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus on developing efficient footwork, ball-handling, shooting mechanics, finishing, and basketball IQ. My training will include the drills that I have done throughout my college career (with age-appropriate concepts, of course) that have helped me shape into the player that I am today. As a player, you will not only get better physically, but you will also learn how to read the game, make decisions, and play with a purpose.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Every session will be tailored to the player! However, it will usually look like this: warm-up and activation work, fundamental ball handling, and footwork drills that tie in with becoming the best shooter you can be. Then, we will move into competitive drills with decision-making reads and learning on the go. Every session will have a similar format; however, we will continue to add on the layers as we progress over time. I believe that repetition is the secret to all knowledge, and I think that has contributed to my successful basketball career. You will always leave the session knowing what you can work on at your own pace to continually improve yourself.
Career summary and accomplishments:
In high school, I was awarded the El Paso Female Student-Athlete of the Year award. I am now a current college basketball player at The University of Texas at Dallas. I initially started my career as a Division 3 basketball player, but the school transitioned to Division 2, and I had the opportunity to become a scholarship student-athlete at this new level. I received academic honors all 4 years during my undergraduate time at UTD. I was awarded the ASC Conference Player of the Year. Week. I ended the 2024/2025 season as the leading scorer and MVP for the Comets.
Best coach I ever had:
My high school varsity basketball coach is the one who guided me into who I am today. I believe she instilled the belief and confidence that I needed to know that I was capable of playing at the next level, and that is all I want to do for others!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have had a unique college career. I learned the importance of hard work and never giving up. I know what it takes to elevate your game, and I just want to pass down the lessons I have learned to others who believe in themselves.

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!
