Get to know Coach Brad
About Me:
I played collegiate basketball at Los Angeles Trade Tech (JUCO) before continuing my career at Virginia State University (NCAA Division II). Competing at both levels gave me firsthand experience in the discipline, work ethic, and skill development required to succeed — lessons I now pass on to every athlete I train.
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus on developing every part of your game — physically, mentally, and strategically. Through personalized workouts, detailed skill development, and game-specific training, I help you:
• Master the fundamentals — dribbling, shooting, footwork, and finishing
• Develop basketball IQ — making smarter reads and better decisions under pressure
• Build confidence and consistency — so your skills translate from practice to game time
• Improve strength, speed, and conditioning — to perform at a higher level
• Get real results — whether you’re preparing for tryouts, earning more minutes, or chasing college and pro opportunities
My goal is simple: to help you unlock your full potential and play the game with skill, confidence, and purpose.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
1. Warm-Up (10–15 min): Dynamic movement, mobility, and light ball-handling to prepare the body and mind.
2. Skill Development (25–30 min): Focus on fundamentals — dribbling, passing, finishing, and shooting mechanics.
3. Game Situations (20–25 min): Apply skills in live, decision-making drills like 1v1, 2v2, or pick-and-roll scenarios.
4. Conditioning & Competition (10–15 min): High-intensity drills and competitive games to build endurance and game toughness.
5. Cool Down & Reflection (5–10 min): Stretching, recovery, and short discussion to reinforce key lessons.
Career summary and accomplishments:
With over a decade of basketball coaching and player development experience, I’ve built a career dedicated to helping athletes reach their full potential on and off the court. I currently serve as the Head JV Coach and Varsity Assistant at Cathedral High School, as well as a coach at BTI, where I work with athletes at all levels — from youth players to professionals competing overseas. My coaching journey includes 10+ years of AAU coaching experience, where I’ve helped numerous athletes advance to college and beyond through skill development, mentorship, and exposure opportunities. As a player, I competed at the collegiate level — starting at Los Angeles Trade Tech (JUCO) and continuing at Virginia State University (NCAA Division II) — experiences that shaped my understanding of what it takes to succeed at the next level.

What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m passionate about helping players grow — not just as athletes, but as people. My coaching philosophy is built on hard work, discipline, and confidence. I believe every player, no matter their level, deserves personalized attention and a clear plan for improvement.
I bring over a decade of coaching and training experience — from youth and AAU teams to high school and professional players — and I understand what it takes to reach the next level. My goal is to teach the game the right way, focusing on fundamentals, basketball IQ, and mental toughness.
Parents can trust that I care about their child’s development on and off the court. I push players to compete, stay accountable, and grow in character while keeping the environment positive and focused. Every session is about building skills, confidence, and love for 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.
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!
