Get to know Coach Christopher
About Me:
I am a former athlete who competed on the AAU circuit and through high school in basketball and in track and field during high school. I have academic training in Counseling Psychology with focus in Sport Psychology. I have worked with collegiate athletes providing mental health services and supporting performance concerns centering on anxiety, adjustment concerns, sleep hygiene, stress management, attentional control, and general wellbeing.
How I can help you improve your game:
I provide collaborative dialogue with clients to learn about their experiences within their playing and practice environments. Also, I use tangible experiences that translate to their athletic space to simulate psychological moments that would be relevant to their competitive experience. These approaches offer the opportunity for athletes to learn about themselves while slowing down their performance to analyze challenges and practice new skills to support their evolution.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session will involve review of previous skills addressed, identification of emerging/persistent concerns, agenda setting, and practice/application exercises.
Career summary and accomplishments:
While brief, my career has included clinical work with college students focusing on mental health and wellness. I have treated students for concerns related to anxiety, depression, adjustment concerns, sleep concerns, career and academic development, and trauma. I have also worked with collegiate athletes providing mental health support surrounding the aforementioned concerns along with suicide prevention awareness and destigmatization of help-seeking behaviors. I have had the privilege of working closely with two collegiate teams and seeing them overcome early season struggles to lead strong finishes to their seasons with concerted effort toward their mental preparation for competition.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my first AAU coach as he provided fundamental knowledge of basketball while also pushing us past our limits with consistent challenges and creative drills to evolve our skillset. Furthermore, he was unafraid to compete with us so that we had the privilege to not only learn from him but also experience his dedication to our evolution through his physical participation.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
The main thing to know about me is that I am committed to the health and wellbeing of the student-athlete. I value performing at a high level but never at the expense of one’s mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. My hope is that sport will be vehicle for learning how to be your best self in life. I love seeing athletes succeed and I value seeing them become great human beings even more.

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!
