My players thrive in high school,college,and professional levels of basketball.
In order for a basketball player to become better, they have to first be better at understanding the game of basketball itself. I just don’t teach drills to players, I help them understand what the drill is for and when to use it in real game play. I don’t change a player’s game, I enhance it. The key to becoming a great player is a willingness to work hard, be disciplined, and make sacrifices in certain areas. The key to becoming a skilled player is dedication to the process with consistency and repetition. The key to becoming a great player with skill is all the above. These are the fundamental principles that I teach in my sessions.

About Me:
-Played DI,DII,and Pro Levels as basketball player
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help a player improve their game by helping to increase their understanding and knowledge of the game of basketball itself. Having been blessed to play all levels of basketball I can explain and show the process of what it takes to become a better player. This includes information sharing along with player drills that enhance overall skillset.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A training session with me will happen in a varied and layered format beginning with the basic fundamentals. It is essential to lock in on the fundamentals as mastering them will unlock the ability to execute many creative styles of play on the court. Sessions begin with stretching and warm up drills. Training will intensify as drills will become more challenging to the mind and body. Strength and conditioning exercises will also be incorporated into skill training sessions.

Best coach I ever had:
My father who is a National Golden Gloves boxing champion, and my junior college coach Jerry Burns who is the current coach of Monroe Community College in Rochester, NY are the best coaches I have had. Coach Burns taught me that hard work brings reward and how to use basketball to serve my goals. My father taught me boxing skills that enhanced my hand speed and served well on the basketball court as I led my college team in steals, while exhibiting a tough, competitive spirit. All mantras that I currently live daily.

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!
