Get to know Coach Ethan
About Me:
Division 1 basketball. Played with about a dozen pro basketball players and competed against even more. I set school shooting records in both Junior College and at my Division 1 school.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help someone improve their game by sharpening each and every fundamental skill. Helping with the mental side of the game as well as helping them understand the game. More importantly I know that playing at the next level requires a very niche skill, and I can help with turn you into having an identity as a player.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session looks very methodical in the approach. We know exactly what we are going to work on and trying to accomplish. I am breaking everything down to a very basic level to build habits. There will be constant communication and feedback so that the player or athlete knows when he is doing something correctly and when to fix and correct it. The goal is to learn how to train and how to work so that you could even teach it back to someone else. Then you are truly an expert in what you are working on.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I coached basketball at Clay Highschool for a season. And then went more into private individual training, working with current pros and all levels from elementary, junior high and high school levels.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I had was coach Dustin Kerns. He was very intelligent and knew how to maximize each and every player for the betterment of the team. He created a team first culture that emphasized hard work and not taking short cuts along the way.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
You should know that I have a passion for coaching and helping others. No matter what your goal, I know what it takes to get to the next level and what it looks like. I have a very keen eye and know how to make training applicable based on what we are trying to accomplish. I love seeing players make progress and I know without a doubt i can help maximize your potential as an athlete.

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!
