I am a retired Division three basketball player from New York University with a passion for sharing my love for the game and elevating others talent and skillset.
I've been playing basketball since I was five years old and recently finished my career at NYU as a four year starter, two time National Champion and three year captain. I've been fortunate enough to earn recognition as a WBCA Division III All-American, four-time UAA Defensive Player of the Year and Final Four MVP. I have a special love for defense and crafty finishes in the paint, but can help improve all fundamentals for young players. I am excited to share this passion through private lessons. My goal is to help players of all ages and skill levels to improve their fundamentals, but also help them build confidence and resilience. Basketball has given me so much, and through coaching, I hope to inspire the same love of the game and championship mindset to the next generation of young players.

Get to know Coach Belle
About Me:
I started playing basketball when I was 5 after my dad and brother shared their love of the game with me. I played four years of varsity basketball at New York University as a point guard and off guard. I loved every second of my experience at NYU and want to help other young players have the same experience.
How I can help you improve your game:
I have expansive knowledge of basketball at all levels and have experience playing in high pressure situations. I can help every player with ball handling, their first step quickness, shooting skills, finishing moves, 1v1 defense, mental toughness, and overall basketball IQ.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I will first access the skill level and experience of the player and determine what we should focus on. A typical session for any player will include agility, defense, finishing, shooting and game-time pressure situations.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have helped out where I trained in high school during college. My team won two back to back National Championships. In my senior year, I lead the team in field-goal percentage (58.8%), free throws made, and steals earning Defensive Player of the Year, First Team All Conference, Final Four MVP and All-American rewards. I also practiced with a pro team in Costa Rica in the summer of 2022.
Best coach I ever had:
My middle school travel coach gave me the perfect combination of tough love and mentorship. I owe him my passion for the game and my ability to perform under pressure. He had incredible knowledge of basketball, but also knew how to connect with his players and inspire them.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Sports are the best way for people to connect, build long lasting character traits like resilience, leadership and mental toughness and learn the importance of being on a team. It is important for young players to have role models to look up too. That is the most important part of private training. Sports only last so long, but the determination, winning mentality and memories last a lifetime.

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!
