Book Private Basketball Lessons with Coach Carl
I've obsessed over basketball my whole life, now I bring that attention to you.
I've obsessed over basketball my whole life, now I bring that attention to you.
I have an eye for the nuances of the game of basketball that other coaches don't. They will teach you how to shoot, dribble, and pass the ball the same way their coaches did decades ago. I have the benefit of growing up playing today's version of the game, and now being surrounded by the NEW era of basketball everyday through the players I train. The game has changed and evolved, and I know what it takes for players to find success in the new brand of basketball that we see today. While improving skills is the focus, I won't just teach skill. I will teach leadership, work ethic, competitiveness, and how to find joy in the process of growth.

Get to know Coach Carl
About Me:
I'm a 24 year old recent college graduate who loves the game of basketball (among many other things). I am a musician, film enthusiast and writer, and am getting my real estate salesperson license. However, my true love is basketball, which I have played my whole life and now get to coach on a daily basis.
How I can help you improve your game:
I have a guard skillset, but am an avid student of the game and can help all players find their language on the court. Whatever it is you need to improve, we will identify it in the beginning, and hone in on specific skills that translate directly to playing. I have been around the game for over a decade around experienced coaches and players at the Division I and professional level.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I start at the very bottom. Whether it’s the base of your jumpshot or the fundamentals of handling the ball, I always start with a conversation about where your game is and what needs to improve. Efficiency is everything, so figuring out what we need to work on before stepping on the court allows us to get the most out of our time training. I always break down teachings step by step, then all together slowly, then finally game speed, so you can grasp each little nuance to the movement and separate yourself as a player. We will go deep into one topic, focusing on all aspects of that topic, rather than trying to cover all bases in one day. Good reps are the most important aspect of improvement, and we will get a lot of those in whatever time we have.
Career summary and accomplishments:
- 4 Year Varsity Starter at Seabury Hall --- winning 4 Conference Championships - Division I scout player for Marist Women's Basketball - Youth Basketball Camp Coach - Kihei Charter School Boys Varsity Basketball Assistant Coach - Compass Basketball Academy Assistant Coach --- Gap year college basketball preparatory program
Best coach I ever had:
My first club basketball coach. He introduced me to basketball and taught me how to be a leader and a young man. While he struggled personally off the court, he displayed what it meant to work hard, and to have a passion and love for what happens on the court. He taught me the importance of leadership and I will be forever grateful to him.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a hard worker, an excellent motivator, adaptable to the players level and needs, and love to have fun on the basketball court. The goal is to get better, but to most importantly love the game that we play.

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!
