I help players build their confidence and reach their full potential.

Hi, I’m Coach Anthony. I have years of basketball experience and have trained and competed at a high level, including serving as a practice player for the South Carolina Gamecocks Women's 2024 National Championship Team. I’ve also built a basketball program for a summer camp from the ground, coached recreational teams, and trained clients 1 on 1. Through my private training sessions, I help players improve their ball handling, shooting, footwork, and overall basketball IQ with drills that translate directly into real game situations. My goal is to help athletes build confidence and develop the skills they need to stand out on the court

About Me:

I am 24 and I work at Sorinex Exercise Equipment as a Project Manager out in Lexington. I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio (so I am unfortunately a Cleveland sports fan) but I moved to South Carolina about 6 years ago when I began attending the University of South Carolina and majored in Sports and Entertainment Management. I graduated in 2024 and have been working, coaching, and enjoying life since!

How I can help you improve your game:

I provide personalized basketball training designed to help players at any level reach their full potential. From ball handling and shooting mechanics to footwork, decision-making, and court awareness, my sessions focus on the skills that translate directly to real game situations. I will help sharpen the tools that you already have, and will help you discover ones you didn't know were there.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

A typical training session will include a few minutes of a basic warm up that's get your blood pumping . From there we will break out into fundamental, skill development drills that will help you strengthen what you already know, as well as introduce you to new things that will help your game. After this we will work on some faster paced drills that simulate game-like situations. This will allow you to apply the the things you have learned during the previous drills. I then like to end sessions with something slower paced like free throws. This allows us to debrief and talk about what we covered, what we will cover in future sessions and allows me to answer any questions that the client might have.

Career summary and accomplishments:

- 2024 NCAA National Champion (Practice player on Women's team)

- Varsity Letterman

- Basketball Game Analyst (Full Court Analytics)

-Basketball Program Coordinator (Camp Arrowhead for Boys)

-2x Basketball Coach for Recreation teams (LCRAC)

Best coach I ever had:

Dawn Staley. This goes without saying. While I only spent a year practicing under Coach Staley, I learned so much from her, and will always cherish that experience. She loved to hone in on everyone's individual strengths and weaknesses, but more than anything, she valued the importance of teamwork and having your teammates back. Her values are something that I try to carry with me when I coach as well.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

Athletes and Parents should know that when I take a client on, I genuinely care for that player on and off the court. It is my goal to bring a fun, and energetic approach to the game that allows the player to improve their basketball skills, as well as learn discipline, dedication and other tools that they will use throughout the rest of their lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.
