About Me:
I started playing Basketball in Elementary School and started to love the sport. I was so in love with the sport that I would be out in my driveway shooting hoops all day long even in our Arizona Summers. I mostly learned by playing 2 years in High School and watching College and Pro Players, and by doing that I learned about the Mechanics/Fundamentals of the game. I ended up changing the way I shot the ball 3 different times and can shoot not only right handed, but Left handed as well.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help kids at any level get better by understanding the fundamentals and mechanics of basketball. I always have a positive view on everything when it comes to the game. I will never allow you athlete to hang their head low especially when trying new things. One of the major things I instill is that we never use the word "CAN'T", as in all kids starting out have that negative mindset that they can't do something new, when in all reality it's "In Time, I Will Be Able To Do This" mentality I like to build as a foundational mindset.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Always want to start off with stretching and warming up. First session warm ups I will want the athlete to warm up by shooting layups and jump shots, to allow me to see how we can fix their mechanics. We also will be focusing heavily on Ball Handling as that is the number one fundamental when it comes to basketball. I will show some drills that can be done at home as well.
As the athlete begins to advance and get stronger our focus will adapt and change to more things like Footwork or positional drills, etc.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have Coached Middle School Girls Basketball for the past 7 years and went to the Championship twice. I also have coached JV Girls Basketball for the past 2 years and went #1 in the Region with 2 different squads.
Best coach I ever had:
Truthfully, the best Coach I ever had was my own Dad, as he instilled in me about what it takes to grow and get better as an athlete. It's not just about what you do during the time you are with your team, it's what you do on your own time to get better.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I truly love the game of basketball and have a pure passion to coach interested kids on the proper mechanics and fundamentals of the game of basketball in order for them to really take advantage of their own potential.

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 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.
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!
