Get to know Coach Daniel
About Me:
I have been playing basketballl since I was 5 years old all the way up to 18 in my towns local rec league. I also played Middle school ball in 8th grade, as well as high school for Chariho High School my Freshman, sophomore, and senior year. I have been teaching the game for years as well to friends/ nephews and fell in love with coaching after coaching for a rec team for the first time.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help someone improve there game by drilling repartition, creativity and getting kids to play with there heart on the court. I specialize on the offensive side of the game so that is where I can make the biggest leaps forward with the athletes as well as the importance of basic fundamental help defense. Also by teaching a wholistic view overall health to succeed in the game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session Would look like some light jogging and stretching to warm up, into either dribble work with light cardio or to get a feel for the ball, form shooting or shots under the hoop to work on finishing with both hands. A training session will include drills to help improve all aspects of the game, as well as maybe some pickup to put everything worked on into action.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I am somewhat new to coaching only having done it for my local rec league. But I have been teaching my many nephews for years now since I was young. The best part about coaching for me is being able to be around and apart of the game again, while at the same time hopefully making a positive difference in lives.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had in my opinion would be my old high school coach for JV at Chariho Dean Felecetti. He is my favorite coach because he was very personable off the court, and was just very real. He would praise us when we were worthy and get on us when needed as well. Was very honest and realistic, traits I hope I can take away.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
My Junior year of high school I let life get the best of me and I decided not to play for the school team that year. I was upset with sitting on the bench so I didn’t try it, even though I missed out on playing my favorite game ever made! I say this to say I understand what it means to need work myself and I understand that people fall down and fail sometimes but it is about staying level grounded and keep on pushing on.

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.
