About Me:
I have 10 years of experience in both coaching and in private basketball training. I have been training boys and girls from ages 4 to 18 as well as adults, ranging from people who are just starting out to more experienced basketball players. I worked at basketball camps for kids for many years in Los Angeles, and I volunteered as an assistant coach for both JV and varsity teams at Windward School. I also served as the head coach for the club basketball team at Wesleyan University for three years.
How I can help you improve your game:
I am both an observant coach and a good listener. When we're going through drills, I pay close attention to the details of how you're executing a certain move or building on a skill so that I can give real-time feedback and develop more drills to address areas of improvement. Perhaps more importantly, I listen to what YOU say are the aspect of your games you want to work on, and I cater my workouts plan to those ares you identity.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
My sessions begin with a conversation with the athlete about their goals and what aspects of their game they are looking to work on. From there, I will craft a workout plan in real time that addresses the athlete's wants as well as my own observations about areas where they can improve. I heavily emphasize fundamentals during the first half of the session, focusing on footwork, offhand layups, form shooting, defensive mechanics, and ball-handling. Then, we will move on to drills that simulate in-game scenarios during the second half of the session, where athletes continue to build on their fundamentals while also improving detailed offensive and defensive strategy. Most importantly, we'll always make sure to have fun!
Career summary and accomplishments:
In high school, I was a four-year varsity player and three-year starter at Windward in Los Angeles. During my senior season, I earned a spot on the First Team Gold Coast League alongside several high-major D-1 recruits and future NBA prospects.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Colin Pfaff. He coached you hard and pushed you to be your best, while also caring about you and connecting with you off the court.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I've worked with kids of all ages and adults. I hope to have the pleasure of coaching you or your child!

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
