Get to know Angel

Build strength. Develop speed. Sharpen skills. Compete with confidence.

Whether you want to level up your physical game, sharpen your mental toughness, or dominate in your sport, we’ll work together to push past your limits and unlock your full potential. It’s time to turn your goals into results—let’s make it happen!" I am a lifelong learner with a passion for wellness and excellence. With experience in athlete development, education, and recreation, I specialize in empowering individuals through servant leadership and transformative programs. My focus is on promoting holistic well-being and achievement, using the power of wellness, sports, and recreation to help individuals thrive."

About me

I’m Coach Angel, a former Division I basketball player with more than 28 years of experience in athletics, coaching, and education. I combine basketball development with strength and conditioning, speed, agility, mobility, and overall athletic performance to help athletes become stronger, faster, more skilled, and more confident. Every session is purposeful, individualized, and designed to help athletes improve where they are now while preparing them for where they want to go.

I provide individualized training based on the athlete’s goals, experience and sport. Training may include strength and conditioning, speed and agility, mobility, movement mechanics, conditioning and basketball-specific development. My goal is to help athletes move better, become stronger and more confident, and build skills that transfer to competition.

Each 60-minute session is individualized to the athlete and their goals. A typical session may include:

Warm-up & movement preparation: mobility, activation and dynamic movement

Skill & performance training: strength, speed, agility, basketball skill development or sport-specific conditioning

Progression & coaching: technique, execution and appropriate challenges based on the athlete’s level

Cool-down & recovery: mobility/stretching, session reflection and recommendations for continued improvement

I emphasize quality movement, effort, consistency and progress—not simply completing exercises.

"There were many influential figures throughout my athletic career, but the first to have the greatest impact was Coach Deb Bishop. She instilled in me a work ethic that still drives me toward excellence. Coach Bishop challenged me to never settle for 'good enough' when I could achieve greatness. She embodied many of the qualities that have shaped my coaching philosophy. With every level of success I reach, I believe I’m making her proud!"

I take every athlete’s development personally. Parents can expect purposeful preparation, clear communication, individualized coaching, and a positive but challenging environment. I want athletes to understand the “why” behind their training, take ownership of their progress, and leave each session stronger, more confident, and better prepared to compete.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

  • 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.

Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.

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 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!
