How bad do you want it?
I want to continue passing on the knowledge and experience that has helped me improve to younger players. As a coach, I like to really focus on the fundamentals of basketball as well as the mental aspect of being an athlete. We will train based on the skills you would like to strengthen and improve.

Get to know Coach Crisanta
About Me:
I was a 4-year starting point guard and 2-year captain at Cherokee High School. After leaving, I helped lead my team to win 2 South Jersey Group IV championships and made back-to-back state championship appearances. Today, I am currently a junior playing at Albright College as the starting point guard.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help a player strengthen their fundamentals as well as show them what has helped me improve as a player over the years. Yet, it all comes down to the athlete and what they do outside of our own sessions and out of season. How badly do you want it?
What a typical training session looks like with me:
My training sessions look just like my own workouts. I like to start off with ball handling and form shooting. Then, I like to work on my fundamentals, such as forward and reverse pivot and passing. Afterwards, I move into game situations, like dribbling off the screen or the different cuts you can make off of a screen. Lastly, I like to finish up with shooting and a little bit of conditioning.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Throughout high school, I was the head coach for my elementary school's Fourth grade intramural program. I would also revisit my middle school team to help during practices, and I would also help as an assistant for their games.
Best coach I ever had:
I've had many great coaches but if I had to pick, my favorite coach is my high school coach, Ron Powell. I had and still have a great relationship with him. He cared for me and my teammates like his own children. Coach Powell gave me a lot of confidence through reassurance in times when I doubted myself, and always pushed me to the best of my ability.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
One important thing to me as a coach is establishing a relationship with my clients. I think it's important to create a close connection with players to create a less intimidating environment for them.
Crisanta is hard to pronounce for some people, so players are more than welcome to refer to my as Coach CJ!

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!
