Get to know Dion
I come from a basketball family. I’ve played basketball since the age of 3. I care about the game and love teaching the younger generation what was taught to me by some great coaches. Fundamentals and hard work is at the core of all of my sessions. If you truly love basketball and want to get better, working with me will be fun!
How I can help you improve
Breaking down the players game to the smallest detail. Getting to the root of the problem, correcting it, then rebuild the proper way from there.
A typical training session
The first 20mins is the warm-up phase. That always includes a lot of ball handing from stationary to mild movements. If shots are taken in this phase they are close range shot or layups. After 20 minutes of non stop motion we will do about 10-15mins of form shooting starting close and working our way back towards the perimeter. The rest of the time will be filled with game like drills incorporating a lot of the things we previously worked on. This will vary from player to player but the is a typical session.
Career & accomplishments
4 year Head Coach of The Factory AAU team
Best coach I ever had
Coach Bush my high school coach. He pushed and motivated me in way that a true coach should. He tough me the real meaning of discipline and not cutting corners or cheating yourself. Extremely knowledgeable about the X’s and O’s of the game and in the end hard work wins.
What athletes & parents should know
You will get the best that I have to offer as a basketball trainer. I believe every player can be as good as they want to be as long as the work ethic and commitment is there. I will always have a fresh workout plan for each session that is tailored to the player needs. Make your weaknesses your strengths and your strengths even stronger.

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?

Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?

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!
