Get to know Coach Reed
About Me:
Former All-State and State Champion level player. I have been coaching and training for 4 years, working with players ranging from children to overseas professionals. I have dedicated my life to obtaining a deep understanding of the game of basketball, how it is played, and how to improve.
How I can help you improve your game:
Careful skill assessment and progress tracking allow me to determine the needs of each player and how to meet those needs. Using this method to guide, all training is tailored toward accomplishing whatever goal the player has!
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Training sessions range from and hour to and hour and a half. Training will be high energy and disciplined, always working hard. We begin with dynamic warmups and mobility before moving into the training portion of the session. Depending on the focus of the particular session, it can be high paced, intense work (for athleticism focus or conditioning and character focus), or can be slower pace, less intense work (for specific skill work and detail-focused training). Come prepared to learn and to work!
Career summary and accomplishments:
As a player I was a multi-time All State player as well as a state champion. I had multiple college offers but, due to being a 2020 senior and Covid shutting down sports, I was not able to play for any of the colleges. I decided to shift my focus to coaching and training players, helping them accomplish their own goals and learn valuable character lessons along the way! Since coaching and training, I have helped to dramatically improve the teams I coach, even over doubling the total wins of the previous 4 years combined in only my first year as a head coach for a varsity boys team. I have helped multiple players reach the collegiate level and have even worked and continue to work with professional level players. This experience along with life long dedication to studying the game as well as how to teach it have helped me to develop an expertise in coaching and training players.
Best coach I ever had:
My best coach, Coach Foster, who recently passed, was the one coach who saw my love for the game and my passion to work towards my goals and chose to believe in me when others around me did not. That belief along with his commitment to working with me and developing my game was pivotal. Without him I would not have been able to acquire the skills, belief, or character I needed to accomplish what I have. The lessons I learned from him stay with me and will always stay with me. I strive to provide to others what Coach Foster provided for me; not just a basketball coach, but a mentor and a guide.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I care deeply for every person I train and work hard to foster a relationship with each player and parent. I want both to know the true passion I have to help the player improve and accomplish their own goals, and trust the steps I layout to get them their.

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 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.
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!
