Get to know Raven

I will push each and every one of my athletes to be the best possible version of themselves. Not only on the court but also off. Helping them to become elite basketball players, and even better people.

About me

Baker comes from Malvern, Arkansas and has been training and coaching for many years while also pursuing her professional basketball career. She holds the all-time scoring record for Malvern High School where she also won back-to-back state championships. She also racked up many other accolades such as: Three-time member of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette All-Arkansas Team, Three-time all-state performer and a three-time all-state all-tournament team member, averaged 27 points, six rebounds, four steals and three assists for the Lady Leopards as a senior.

After graduating from high school, she went on to play for Coach G at Chipola Junior College in Marianna Florida. She Helped Chipola reach the FCSAA/NJCAA quarterfinals and a 28-5 record and led the team in scoring and was second in 3-point shooting. (14.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals while starting all 33 games in 2016-17.)

In April of 2017 Raven became the first commitment for Coach Neighbors and his staff. She scored an Arkansas season/career-best 22 points in a win over Texas-Arlington and went 8-for-11 from the floor including a 6-for-8 performance from distance against Texas-Arlington. She was a member of the team that set single season records for points scored, field goals attempted, 3-point field goals made and attempted, defensive rebounds, games played and total minutes, and helped Arkansas upset three ranked teams to reach the SEC Tournament finals for the first time in program history.

Once graduating from the University of Arkansas she went semi-pro in Atlanta. Then signed her first professional contract to play overseas in Kosovo where she had a breakout rookie season averaging 34.7 points (lead the league), 7.1 rebounds, 5.1 assist (4th in the league), and 4.0 steals (2nd in the league) per game. After her rookie season she continued to play professionally in Serbia, Egypt, Nicaragua, Czech Republic, and a few other countries.

I can help athletes improve their games by first building personal connections with them to better understand the best way I can teach them. Then push them extremely hard not only physically but mentally so that they can reach their full potential. And also, by sharing my experiences with them so that they'll know if I can do it, they can too.

A typical training session with me often varies from player to player based off of their skill level, position, and their short term and long-term goal(s).

I have been training for many years but got into it heavily once I graduated from college in 2019. During off seasons in the summer, I always had a few clients that I trained faithfully. I have experience training athletes on all levels from beginners to professionals. I recently coached at a junior college for the 2023-24 season.

I've had the opportunity to experience many great coaches in my basketball career, but the one that impacted me the most was my first college coach. He showed me tough love and helped me to expand my mentality which helped me to go on to play at the D1 level in the SEC, semi pro, professionally overseas, and also in life. After graduating I felt that I had all the tools to succeed in any and everything I desired to do in life.

Parents and athletes should know that I am extremely passionate about the game of basketball and teaching it to be played the correct way. I strongly believe that basketball is not just a game but also a tool to help prepare athletes for the real world. I strive to instill a winning mindset in my athletes because there's a lot of talent out here, but a strong mindset is what essentially separates the good players from the elite players.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

  • Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.

  • Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.

  • Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.

  • Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
