Get to know Coach Brandon

About Me:

"With a coaching career spanning the last four years since my college graduation, I have developed a deep expertise in training athletes across the entire developmental spectrum. My experience ranges from introducing the fundamentals to elementary school beginners to refining the high-level tactical skills of middle and high school prospects. Having navigated the transition from a competitive high school and AAU player to a professional coach, I understand how to tailor my communication and drills to meet players exactly where they are—whether they are picking up a ball for the first time or preparing for collegiate-level competition."

How I can help you improve your game:

"I improve players by utilizing a comprehensive, age-specific development plan that balances technical mechanics with high-intensity game simulation. Having coached elementary through high school levels for the past four years, I specialize in identifying an athlete’s specific 'growth gaps'—whether that’s shooting consistency, defensive IQ, or mental toughness—and creating a tailored roadmap to bridge them. My goal is to produce 'complete' players who are as fundamentally sound as they are strategically smart."

What a typical training session looks like with me:

"My approach to player development is built on a professional, modular framework designed to translate directly from the training gym to the high-pressure environment of the AAU circuit. Drawing on my experience as a former high school and AAU standout, I have spent the last four years since college graduation refining a coaching pedagogy that serves elementary, middle, and high school athletes of all genders. I improve a player's game by moving them through a purposeful progression: beginning with functional ball mastery and biomechanically sound footwork, transitioning into situational shot mechanics, and culminating in high-intensity game-speed simulations. By integrating tactical IQ—such as reading ball screens and understanding defensive rotations—with physical conditioning, I ensure that every athlete I train isn't just getting 'reps,' but is building the specific mental and physical tools required to excel at the next level of competitive basketball."

Career summary and accomplishments:

A seasoned basketball professional with over four years of post-collegiate coaching experience and a decorated background in competitive high school and AAU play. I specialize in bridging the gap between raw athletic talent and high-level "Game IQ," having successfully developed Elementary, Middle, and High School players across both boys' and girls' programs. My coaching philosophy is rooted in the high-intensity, structured environment of elite travel basketball, ensuring every athlete I train is prepared for the physical and mental rigors of modern competition.

Best coach I ever had:

"My coaching philosophy is deeply rooted in the elite mentorship I received while playing for the Perkasie Knights under Coach Rich Trotter. As a player on the AAU circuit, Coach Trotter was the most influential figure in my development, providing me with a masterclass in basketball IQ, technical discipline, and the mental toughness required to compete at a high level. Today, I carry that same 'Knight's' standard into my own coaching. For the past four years since my college graduation, I have been paying that knowledge forward—translating the advanced concepts I learned from Coach Trotter into accessible, results-driven training for elementary, middle, and high school players."

What athletes and parents should know about me:

"As a coach, my mission is to provide the same high-level mentorship I received as a player for the Perkasie Knights under Coach Rich Trotter. For the past four years since my college graduation, I have dedicated myself to the technical and mental development of elementary, middle, and high school athletes.

Parents should know that my training is rooted in professionalism and progression. I don't believe in 'one-size-fits-all' drills; I tailor every session to the athlete’s specific age and skill level—whether that’s building a foundational shooting stroke for a beginner or refining the situational IQ of a varsity prospect.

Athletes should know that I’ve been in your shoes on the high school and AAU circuit. I know the work it takes to compete in elite tournaments, and I’m here to give you the 'insider' tools to get there. My goal is to bridge the gap between working hard and playing smart, ensuring you leave every session more confident and more skilled than when you walked in."

Frequently Asked Questions

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 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.

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.

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!
