Get to know David
Self motivated trainer making sessions fun while boosting skills and confidence
I love playing basketball and have played from the age of 5, through high school and club, and still play today. I led the nation in three-point percentage my senior year of high school and played/trained with multiple division 1 players daily. These experiences taught allowed me to gain skill development, dedication, confidence, and resilience, all key skills for becoming a great basketball player. I have been an assistant coach of a club team with athletes ages 6-15 for the past 3 years. Watching players get better each practice has been incredibly rewarding, and I'm eager to keep fueling that growth.
How I can help you improve
I can help improve your game by focusing on your areas of weakness and targeting growth in those areas. My specialty is in the shooting area as I led the nation in 3 point percentage my senior year of high school.
A typical training session
A typical training session with me will vary but in general it will start with a dribbling and shooting warmup. From there we would work on skill development based on the areas of improvement and depending on the day we can end with a shooting competition or I can play you one on you so you can try and put your new skills to the test.
Career & accomplishments
High School Freshman Team MVP, Junior Varisty Defensive Player of the Year, and I led the nation in 3 point percentage my senior year
Best coach I ever had
Coach Randy is the best coach I ever had. He has shown faith in me ever since he coached me from a young age and has always wanted the best for me on and off the court. He pushed me to go for straight A's while training as much as I could which is something I always appreciated.
What athletes & parents should know
I care deeply about the improvement of each player I train and my goal is to help them become the best version of themselves 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.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
