With over 15 years college coaching experience I have the expertise to develop players into the best versions of themselves. Training is much more than learning moves. It is angles, footwork, pace, and IQ. Whether your goals are to play professionally or make your JV team, I can help you achieve it!

High school and college basketball player before pursuing coaching as a profession.
First, I want to get to know your goals. Then, I want to know how you are utilized within your team. Are you a primary ballhandler or a 3 and D player? Knowing those things will help me tailor training to you.
Training is not one size fits all. Your sessions will be completely tailored to the things you, specifically, need to work on. One hour in length and will include skill development and then decision making to help implement those skills in simulated live play.
I have been fortunate enough to be part of some great teams. A two time conference champion and a member of a Sweet 16 program, I have seen success up close. Among the players I have coached have been future WNBA and international players as well as conference players and defensive players of the year. What those players have in common - commitment to development!
I've been mentored by some incredible leaders, including hall of famer Sherri Coale. Coach Coale challenged me to be great but always expected authenticity. It is one of the greatest lessons I've taken with me throughout my career.
Coaches have incredible influence on young athletes. I am a coach today because I looked up to great coaches in the past. My passion is teaching basketball in a way that helps athletes translate skills from training into live play.
Training will include decision making and creativity as much as possible to simulate what they will see on the court.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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.
