From elementary to a professional level, I know what is needed to become great!
God has blessed with me with an incredible career playing basketball all my life. I was a 6”7 small forward/power forward in high school acknowledged as a top 15 ranked player in the state of GA having 15+ D1 offers. I played on the EYBL NIke Circuit for the GA Stars. I have experience beginning my career at East Carolina University, D2, and NAIA championship experience. I finished my career playing in London, UK for the London Lions winning a championship there as well with many connections to overseas and NBA personal. I know what it takes to get to where you want to go and what needs to be done. Before starting the 1st training session, we will sit down and go over exactly in depth what it is needed for game improvement and figure out a personalized blueprint. I am willing to work with what is comfortable with you financially and will give discount packages for multi sessions per week or monthly. I am located in the Palisades/Lake Wylie area but am willing to commute.

Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I’ve ever had was RJay Barsh my head coach at southeastern University who is now an assistance for Gonzaga.
He was not only a basketball coach but a spiritual leader who walked in faith and in works. He also was a NBA trainer for many years and showed me how to be a better son of God and equipped me with many tactics in the game of basketball.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a man of faith and of hard work. I am 29 years old and married to a beautiful wife. Over the years I’ve accomplished and accumulated many life experiences and am in a place in my life where I am called to give back and pour back into what was poured into me. I know what it takes and can help your son or daughter achieving their goals and aspirations. I now work for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association but staying fit and active is very much so still a lifestyle of mine.

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!
