Train with me to keep getting better by working on the fundamentals of the game
My pitch to train with me is to work on the fundamentals of the game of basketball. We will work on dribbling, shooting, passing and other skills as well to improve your game. I think in order to get better as a player it is about repetition on the skills you are good at and improving on different parts of the game that need improvement. As a trainer, I will introduce more advanced parts of the game of basketball as the the player keeps improving in the training.

About Me:
I played High School basketball in Ogdensburg, NY from the years of 2009-2013. I was a three year starter and a two year captain. I then went on to play college basketball at Division 1 Sacred Heart University from 2015-2018.
How I can help you improve your game:
I think I can help someone improve their game through a number of areas. I can help a player with their foot work when shooting the basketball, their dribbling skills, how to improve their jump shot, and how to improve their finishing ability at the rim. These are a few examples where I could help improve a player's game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I think a typical training session would start by either some dribbling drills to get warmed up or some form shooting to work on a jump shot. I like to have training sessions that have a lot of jump shooting drills to work on your jump shot. We may start by making shots from different spots on the court to get a good warm up to start the workout. Then, we can work on the dribbling moves into a jump shot. Dribbling moves that are game like moves that we can practice and keep improving on. Then we will work on some finishing moves at the rim, practicing different layup moves to work on. These are a few areas that I like to work on in a typical training session. Other areas of the game will be worked on as well.
Career summary and accomplishments:
During my summers in college, I coached from the summers of 2013 through 2017 in my local Ogdensburg, NY basketball camp that was two weeks throughout every summer. I was a basketball trainer/coach for Stack Sports in Mahwah, NJ from 2019-2020. I coached all teams from 2nd grade through High School teams, and also had weekly basketball training sessions with players to work on their games.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I have ever had was my Dad. Growing up and playing all sports, my dad was always the coach. He taught us how to play the game of basketball the right way. We always played as a team and always shared the ball in order to become the best team we could be. I think my Dad had a huge impact on me and my development as a basketball player.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I am a very hard worker. I will help the athletes improve on the areas of the game they need improvement throughout the training sessions.

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!
