How I can help you improve your game:
I can help someone improve their game by focusing on both the physical and mental aspects of basketball. I tailor training sessions to each athlete’s individual needs, whether it's refining skills, improving basketball IQ, or building mental toughness. Through personalized drills, feedback, and game situations, I help athletes develop a deeper understanding of the game and become more strategic players. I also emphasize the importance of hard work and dedication, athletes get out of training what they put into it. My goal is to push athletes to challenge themselves, build confidence, and ultimately reach their full potential on the court
What a typical training session looks like with me:
My training session will be completely dependent on the athlete.
Options include:
- Shooting
- Ball Handling
- Slashing
- Passing
- Developmental Skills
- Fundamentals
- etc.
Career summary and accomplishments:
- Local high school kids wanting to develop and get better through 1 on 1 sessions
- College level athletes on fundamentals and mindset of basketball
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Coach Brett McFall. Although he never coached me in a team setting, he hosted weekly developmental training sessions that were similar to the ones I now run. Coach McFall helped me see the game in ways that took my skills to a whole new level. Without his guidance, I wouldn’t have developed the way I did and likely wouldn’t have made it to the collegiate level.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I’m deeply committed to helping players reach their full potential. With years of personal experience in competitive basketball and a passion for coaching, I understand what it takes to succeed at every level. I focus on not just improving skills, but also building basketball IQ and mental toughness. My training sessions are designed to be challenging, engaging, and tailored to each athlete’s needs. If you really want to get better, you have to be committed and not just go through the motions, what you put into a training session is what you’ll get out of it. I believe in creating a positive, growth-oriented environment where athletes can push themselves to be the best they can be, on and off the court.

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.
