About Me:
I’m a dedicated basketball coach with a passion for helping athletes grow their skills, confidence, and love for the game. My experience as a player and coach has taught me the importance of fundamentals, discipline, and teamwork, and I bring that same energy to every training session. I believe in pushing athletes to their full potential while keeping the game fun and competitive.
How I can help you improve your game:
I’ll help you sharpen the skills that matter most — from ball handling and shooting mechanics to defense, footwork, and game IQ. My training focuses on real-game situations, so you’ll feel more confident under pressure and prepared to stand out on the court. Whether your goal is to earn more minutes, dominate your position, or play at the next level, I’ll give you the tools and coaching to make it happen.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me starts with dynamic warm-ups and ball-handling drills to get you locked in. From there, we focus on skill work tailored to your position and goals — shooting mechanics, footwork, defensive techniques, or game-IQ scenarios. I mix in competitive drills that simulate real game pressure so you can translate practice into performance. We wrap up with conditioning and reflection, making sure you leave each session sharper, stronger, and more confident.
Career summary and accomplishments:
STARTED AGE 9, PLAYED THROUGHOUT SCHOOL AND CURRENTLY COACH AND PLAY ON WOMEN'S ACC TEAM. ACADEMIC ALL DISTRICT, TOP REBOUNDER, VALEDICTORIAN TOP 5%.
Best coach I ever had:
MY MIDDLE SCHOOL COACH, SHE SHAPED A VERY DISCIPLINED SIDE OF ME AT A YOUNG AGE THAT'S NEEDED FOR YOUNG LADIES.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I’m fully committed to helping players grow both on and off the court. I hold my athletes accountable, push them to work hard, and celebrate their progress every step of the way. My coaching style is competitive yet encouraging — I want players to leave every session not only better at basketball, but also more confident, disciplined, and prepared for challenges in life. Parents can trust that I care about their athlete’s development, safety, and overall success.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
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.

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!
