Get to know Cheuk Him
Detail-oriented basketball trainer focused on skill development and game IQ.
I’m a basketball-focused coach and sport management student at Drexel University with hands-on experience supporting a Division I program. I specialize in helping players improve their fundamentals, decision-making, and understanding of the game. My approach is detail-oriented and structured, focusing on building strong habits that translate directly into real game situations. Whether it’s ball handling, shooting consistency, or reading the floor, I work with athletes step-by-step to help them gain confidence and play smarter. I’ve worked in high-level team environments where preparation and accountability matter, and I bring that same mindset to every training session.
How I can help you improve
I focus on the fundamentals that actually translate into games:
* Ball handling under pressure
* Shooting consistency and mechanics
* Footwork and finishing
* Game decision-making and IQ
I break skills down step-by-step and make sure athletes understand why they’re doing each drill, so improvement carries over into real competition.
A typical training session
Each session is structured and game-focused:
1. Warm-up + ball handling fundamentals
2. Skill development (shooting, finishing, footwork)
3. Game situation drills (reads, decision-making)
4. Competitive reps to apply what we worked on
I keep sessions efficient, high-energy, and focused on building habits that show up in games.
Career & accomplishments
* Sport Management student at Drexel University
* Experience working with a Division I basketball program (operations side)
* Hands-on involvement in practice setup, team preparation, and logistics
* Strong understanding of high-level basketball structure and detail
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I had emphasized discipline, attention to detail, and doing the small things right every day. He taught me that success comes from consistent habits, not just talent. That mindset is something I bring into how I train players now.
What athletes & parents should know
I take training seriously and focus on real improvement, not just running drills. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and committed to helping athletes build confidence and consistency. My goal is to create a positive but challenging environment where players can develop both their skills and their understanding of the game.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
