About Me:
I played 4 years of Varsity Basketball at Cardinal O'Hara. We won 1 Philadelphia Catholic League (PCL) Title my Junior year. I also played for Comets AAU from 7th grade on, playing on the National Circuit every summer.
How I can help you improve your game:
From being around the sport, I believe that the game has lost the art of fundamentals aka shooting, passing, dribbling, defense. When I played, I worked every day to perfect my fundamental skills and that led to my success. As a trainer, I will work on improving your child's basic basketball skills, while also teaching them game management skills. At the end of the day, I want to help your child get 1% better every session.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me will include ball handling, form shooting, off the dribble shooting, passing, and speed & agility with regards to defense. We will also work on in-game shooting and dribbling habits. Once I learn more about your child's game, we can focus on more specifics as the sessions continue!

Best coach I ever had:
Linus McGinty. He is one of the most decorated coaches in Girl's High School Basketball and always got the most out of his players. He taught me that hard work and dedication will lead to success, both on the court and off.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a hard worker and give 110% to everything I do. I was never the most talented player on the court, but my work ethic and heart/hustle helped me succeed in basketball, more than I ever thought I could. The love I have for the game is second to none. There is nothing I love more than watching my players get better and MOST IMPORTANTLY have fun doing it!

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!
