I have played basketball for 8 years where I accumulated awards such as:
*Defensive Player of the Year
*Offensive Player of the Year
*Season MVP
*League All Stars - 2 years in a row
Since 2022 I have been coaching at Centennial High School in Gresham, OR
*Head JV2 Coach
*Assistant JV
I have experience with correct shooting form, post moves and proper defensive postioning.
My goal is to develop those skills in preparation for their future basketball endeavors.
My job is to be a mentor and leader in an athletes life. I will create trust between myself and athlete so I can create confidence on and off the court.
We will work on repetition, proper form and basketball IQ in a fun but challenging way.
This depends on what areas an athlete needs to work on.
If they are a beginner we will work on fundamentals like shooting, pivoting, and creating an offensive IQ.
If an athlete is more experienced I can tailor their session to areas that may need more improvement or skills that an athlete might want to improve on themselves.
My first session will be about creating a foundation for skills to fine-tune later on.
I currently coach at Centennial High School, where we only have a Girls Junior Varsity and Girls Junior Varsity 2 team. For two years I coached as the sole head coach of JV2 and by our second year we had a record of 13W-3L. I moved into the Assistant JV coaching position with the hope of assistant coachingVarsity in the 2025-2026 season.
Coach Markel, my high school basketball coach.
Why?
He saw potential in me, and help me develop my skills during the off season. I was in the gym everyday working repetitively on offensive and defensive skills. By my senior year I was averaging 14 points a game.
He was the reason I coach to this day and why I love basketball as much as I do.
I love basketball, and I love making people better at basketball.
My goal is to create confidence in players so they can dominate wherever they play. I want to be someone they trust to help them reach their goals.

Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach.
