Get to know Coach Jamal
About Me:
I started playing basketball at an early age, playing varsity basketball in the 9th grade. I played high school basketball for my high school V. James Carter. I have gone to many exposure camps overseas to put myself into the shoes of what it takes to become a professional in basketball. Throughout my 10+ years of experience I have won various championships ranging from youth to adult levels.
How I can help you improve your game:
The goal is to get to know the individual goals, understanding Basketball fundamentals and positioning roles, focus on important areas such as Ball Handling, Footwork, Shooting, Passing, Defense. During sessions I look to find areas where athletes aren't really comfortable performing, that is where we work on ways to help improve in those certain areas.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Generally, I focus on ball handling drills, shooting drills, defensive techniques, conditioning drills. I will also discuss floor vision and how to read the defense.
Session will begin with dynamic stretching and warmups followed by ball-handling drills, I believe that very important skill to learn is being able to dribble and protect the ball. I start off with stationary dribbles and then progress into moving with the ball and footwork with ball handling. Then move to work on a shooting form and continuing with a shooting in many different ways, start off with balanced shooting and on the move, then ending up game like shots including finishes around the rim. We will always finish with free throws.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have been coaching young athletes since 2019. I was the head coach for the rec. basketball league teams for years. Led multiple teams to successful seasons and won a few Championships. 2 years of coaching and managing traveling basketball teams.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Lavar Worthy from my High School playing days. Coach Worthy gave me so much inspiration and motivation, showed me the importance of having sportsmanship, discipline, confidence and focus on developing my skills, he was more than a coach, educator. For ever grateful to have been coached by him.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I believe in hard-work, commitment, dedication and being responsible. I am patient, kind, and open-minded. My sessions are all about understanding basketball fundamentals, improving in specific areas that will help them play better in games. As a coach I am there to teach and instruct on different techniques and how to use and perform them. The ultimate goal is to position athletes to translate the skills acquired during training into real-time game situations.

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.
