Get to know Coach Christina
About Me:
I was a Division I basketball player at the University of Pennsylvania, where I won an Ivy League championship, a Big 5 championship, and was caption during my senior year.
How I can help you improve your game:
I am able to work with players to make sure that they are able to shoot with proper form, are able to finish at the rim through contact, be effective on offense, and get stops on defense at both the guard and post positions. I want to give players the individual attention they aren't able to get at practice.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I want to ensure that players have excellent fundamentals and are able to finish at the rim through contact, so these skills will find a way into training sessions when appropriate. Great offense and defense are both necessary to be a skilled player, so I make sure that both get worked on! I will ensure that players are getting what they want and need to develop their game.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached athletes aged 6 to 18 with all different levels of skill. I have done 1 on 1 skills sessions with guards and post players as well as worked with whole teams at the high school level to better the program.
Best coach I ever had:
My college basketball coach, Mike McLaughlin, taught me so much during my time at Penn including how to be a good teammate, how to help the team in ways other than scoring, and how important every aspect of the sport is when it comes to game day!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I want to develop players who are ready to work hard and reach their full potential in all aspects of the game. I am adaptable to the needs of every player and want to create a positive environment for training. I always appreciate feedback and will work to fulfill the needs of everyone I work with.

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!
