Let’s get better today! Choose me as your trainer because I bring over 12 years of experience to the table. My basketball skills soon earned me a position in the NBA. I played 3 years in the NBA with the Phoenix Suns, Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder and Portland Trail Blazers! After that I played a year in the D-league now known as the G League with Iowa energy and Grand Rapids Drive! Thereafter, I continued my career as a professional basketball player overseas. I have achieved many accomplishments, such as earning two Cup Championships in Europe, being a selected ALL-STAR in both, the NBA G-league and overseas, and scoring over 1000 points in 3 different countries. Working with me will elevate your skills, basketball IQ, and overall confidence to the maximum level! I offer personalized training programs, aimed to focus on areas that may need improvement. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned basketball player, I will tailor each session to meet your overall goals. Focus on being even 1% better today, and you’ll be better than you were yesterday!

I can help someone improve their game by identifying their struggle areas. As well as being consistent with a plan, and useful techniques to improve their specific goals.
I focus on fundamentals first and foremost. My main focus overall will be shooting accuracy, ball handling, footwork, defense, and conditioning, I ensure you improve every aspect of your game. My training sessions combine expert coaching with cutting-edge drills, and most importantly, a passion for developing players who can dominate both on and off the court.
My coaching background consists of youth coaching, grades 4th-6th. I’ve also coached at several summer camps throughout my career.
The best coach I ever had was my college coach at Iowa State University. Coach TJ gave me the confidence to play at a high level.
They should know that I’m a leader, hard worker, confident, and committed to making players better!

Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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.
