Get to know Coach Frick
About Me:
I played JV and Varsity basketball in high school in Columbia, South Carolina. I later played with two sports ministry basketball teams named Athletes in Action and Sports Ambassadors. We played in the Philippines, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help players improve their game because I approach coaching as if I were still coaching one of my own children. This approach coupled with being a professional educator for 35 years helps me in the delivery of instruction. I can help beginners learn the fundamentals as well as help pros get in a meaningful workout.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Training can be with up to six players. One advantage of multiple player training is that players can compete against one another. A typical individual or group training session will include a brief conversation to start the session. This conversation will include a word of encouragement, a point of emphasis, and/or input from the player(s) as to what they need or want to work on. Once the training starts, there will be very little stoppage due to talking. Instruction will be given in brief soundbites. The player(s) will be moving, have a ball in their hands nearly the whole time, and improving conditioning while playing. Effort will be made to work on things that translate directly into the players' games. Emphasis will be on skill development particularly, but not limited to, shooting and ball handling.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached boys high school varsity basketball for over twenty years and have recorded over 300 wins. I have also placed over 50 players into varying levels of college basketball from our high school program. I have coached high school JV basketball as well as first grade through eighth grade basketball. I was named the 2023 National Christian School Athletic Association Coach of the Year. I am a member as a coach of the National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS).
Best coach I ever had:
Although he was not my Coach, Mike Caprarola is one of the best coaches I have been associated with in my basketball career. Coach Cap, as we call him, was one of the assistant coaches on my coaching staff at Chapelgate Christian Academy for over ten years. Coach Cap kept basketball in perspective, made the game simple, was ahead of his time in terms of systems and strategies, and remained positive even during adversity.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am married with four adult children. My wife has served alongside me in my coaching profession down through the years. All four of our children played high school and college sports. I have coached all of my children in various sports down through the years. Our daughter played high school soccer and received a scholarship to play NCAA Division 1 soccer and track. All three of our sons played high school and college basketball. One son received a scholarship to play NCAA Division 1 basketball, one son received a partial scholarship to play NAIA basketball, and one son played NCAA Division 3 basketball. One of our sons continues to play professional basketball overseas currently.

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!
