I can help in all aspects of the game. I’m an undersized guard that plays at a high level so I know what it takes. I’m a really good shooter and ball handler so that’s the area of the game I can help the most in but I can also help with post moves, footwork, passing, and just basic knowledge of the game.
Depends on the person I’m training. But always gonna be just a little bit of running because basketball you have to be in great shape to play. But ball handling drills first just to get warmed up, then straight into shooting drills, catch and shoot and off of movement. Always end shooting drills with free throws as well. If you’re a bigger player work on some post skills. Then we work on some 1 on 1 moves breaking down a defender. Really focusing on footwork and finesse. And if your just starting out with basketball we can work on the basics fundamentals of the game!
I’ve only been coaching for about a year now. But I’ve helped out in summer camps for like 5 years now so I’ve been helping kids develop their game and skills for a while now. Just ready to individually spend time with someone and really focus on getting better.
The best coach I ever had was actually probably my dad when I was a kid. He always pushed me to be the best no matter the circumstances and he taught me the basic fundamentals of basketball and to play the game the right way. He believed every player on the team should be able to do a little bit of everything. So my skill set translated to a high level and I credit a lot of that to my dad.
Just that I’m a huge fan of the game and I love to be around it. Im a hard worker and that’s how I got to the level I’m at now, just consistently being in the gym and working on my game.That I’m ready to pass on my knowledge and love of the game to someone else!

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
