Get to know Coach Elihu
About Me:
I am a professional basketball player with years of experience playing at high levels domestically and internationally. My journey has included playing for competitive teams, earning accolades for my rebounding and defensive abilities, and working alongside some of the best coaches and players in the game. Also the state of California in blocks my Junior and Senior year. As a trainer, I bring the same focus and determination that has defined my own career, helping athletes of all levels achieve their goals which high knowledge of multiple positions and play styles.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help players improve their game by identifying their strengths and areas for growth, then tailoring a plan to elevate their skills. My training emphasizes fundamentals like shooting, ball handling, passing, and defense, while also focusing on advanced concepts like reading the game, improving decision-making, and developing mental resilience. Beyond the court, I provide guidance on habits, discipline, and the mindset needed to succeed both as an athlete and in life.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session begins with a dynamic warm-up to prepare the body for high-intensity work. From there, we focus on fundamentals—ball-handling drills, shooting mechanics, and footwork. Depending on the athlete’s goals, we’ll move into game-specific scenarios, such as pick-and-roll decision-making, defensive positioning, or conditioning drills that simulate game pressure. Every session ends with a recap of what we worked on and a short discussion of what to focus on outside of training. My goal is to ensure every session is intense, focused, and tailored to the athlete’s development.
Career summary and accomplishments:
As a professional basketball player, I’ve had the privilege of learning from top coaches as well as working with the top coaches, both domestically and internationally. My coaching philosophy is rooted in discipline, fundamentals, and a passion for the game. I focus on developing players’ skills, basketball IQ, and mental toughness, drawing from my personal experiences and knowledge of what it takes to succeed at every level.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Coach Mott, my high school coach at St. Joseph High School. He instilled discipline in me and showed me what basketball could do for my life. His belief in my abilities extended beyond the court, making him a constant source of support for me. Coach Mott’s guidance taught me the value of hard work, resilience, and using basketball as a tool for personal growth and opportunity.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have a true passion for basketball. I watch it every day and pride myself on being a lifelong student of the game. My goal is not just to teach athletes how to play but also to help them understand the mental and emotional aspects of being an athlete. I share not only my knowledge of the game but also the life lessons and experiences I’ve gained along the way. This holistic approach helps athletes grow as players and as individuals, preparing them for success both on and off the court.

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.
