Book Private Strength-and-speed Lessons with Coach Caleb
With over 5 years of personal training experience and a strong foundation in competitive basketball, I offer a unique approach to skills development. My basketball journey includes four years on high school varsity, JUCO experience at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, and intense AAU competition from ages 13 to 18. This background shapes my focus on training athletes to be smarter, not just stronger. My method goes beyond basic drills; I emphasize reading defenders, strategic movement, and decision-making to cultivate intelligent, adaptable players. I work to slow the game down, helping students play at their own pace and stay composed under pressure. By teaching situational awareness and smart play, I give athletes the tools to excel independently and maximize their potential on the court. I understand what it takes to reach peak performance, and I’m dedicated to guiding each athlete to develop skills that go deeper than the surface, enhancing their overall basketball IQ and effectiveness on the court.

How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve their game by focusing on a mix of physical, technical, and mental skills tailored to each player’s unique needs. My approach isn’t just about refining shooting or dribbling techniques; I work with players to understand the game at a strategic level, teaching them how to read defenders, create space, and make smarter in-game decisions. I also emphasize the importance of slowing the game down, so players can control the pace and feel more confident under pressure. Through targeted drills and game-scenario training, I build well-rounded players who know how to adapt, think ahead, and execute with precision. Whether it’s developing a quicker first step, increasing court awareness, or boosting overall basketball IQ, my goal is to help each athlete unlock their full potential and play with purpose on every possession.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Training sessions include 45 minutes of skill training with 15 minutes of cardio. All depending on the student mastery level. Can also include gym training for explosiveness and strength if applicable. At home workouts are also provided for skills and athletic training.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I coached the NYU teen violets which is a AAU sponsored team by NYUs athletic department. I coached kids from ages 12-15 as it was open enrollment from all skill levels. We competed at over 50 tournaments over my two year tenure with managing to win 17 of them against many other talented teams
Best coach I ever had:
My mom is the best coach she’s always helped me on and off the court whether it was taking me to practice or buying me equipment she always supported me
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Training with me isn’t just about skill training and basketball knowledge it’s about learning to be a better teammate, son, student, brother all these qualities make great players 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. 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!
