About Me:
I played high school basketball for my high school G. Holmes Braddock. I have gone to many exposure camps overseas to put myself into the shoes of what it takes to become a professional in this sport. To experience it myself would be something that can increase my knowledge and enhance my abilities to better coach and develop young athletes.
Played overseas in Valencia, Spain for the Europro Basketball team .The game overseas is very team oriented and that will help players learn basketball IQ.
I competed national in the sport of paintball. I have finished with a lot of top place finishes and the experience transcends to another level. I was traveling the world playing a sport which I deeply enjoy. I was experiencing what it was like to play on an organized team whether you get paid or you pay, is something that can relate to playing on any sports team. I have been competing since 2012 to 2017 traveling every year to compete against the top competition and growing along the way. There were many wins, but there were a lot of losses as well. Overall, I can teach them values that can help their careers in many ways.
How I can help you improve your game:
During sessions I look to find techniques in which the player isn't really comfortable performing or overall not very well. That is where we can disect any issues and work on ways to help improve in those certain aspects. Overall I'm looking to find failures in the session which will give us a chance to learn and adapt more efficiently.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Always start off with ball handling. I believe the most important skill to learn is being able to dribble the ball. I start off with stationary dribbles and then progress into moving with the ball and footwork with ball handling.
Then move on to working on finishes around the rim. Slowly progressing into detailed footwork while shooting multiple finishes with both hands.
After this I like to get into some technique drill that can help easily translate to game scenario. There are always things to work whether it be learning new skill or tweaking an already good skill, it all depends on the level of play from the player.
Continuing with some shooting in many different ways, start off on the move then ending up game like shots. Then a cool down and that would be it for one session.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have been coaching young athletes since 2014. I was the head coach for the Good Shepard Catholic Church JV and Varsity boys' basketball team. Led both teams to successful seasons and won a Championship with the Varsity team (JV had no playoffs for some reason). I interned at my high school G. Holmes Braddock for 1 season and assisted the head JV and Varsity coaches. After my one year I started to work for a Basketball Academy where we train dozens of kids almost every day and coach games with those same kids. We work with kids a 5 years and up. I have been here since 2017 to 2021. I currently run my own Basketball operations under Hi Line Basketball I currently am a certified USA Certified Youth Coach.
Best coach I ever had:
My JV highschool coach, gave me so much inspiration and motivation to continue playing the sport. He was someone that instilled a lot of confidence in my game and helped me succeed as I got older. For ever grateful to have been coached by him.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
My sessions are all about improving in specific skills that will help them play better in games. Also, a lot players tend to understand that once a week with a trainer will solve all their problems. What ever we go over during the session, you must work on those things alone through out the week until you master it. Too many times, young athletes ask me why they aren't improving and its for the lack of putting in time to work on new things and challenge yourself. As a coach I am there to teach and instruct on new techniques and how to perform them, after that it is the responsibility of the athlete to put more time into that new technique to fully master it.

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?

It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship.
