Book Private Lessons with Coach Gene

Former college/pro player (and 2x dad) looking to give back through coaching!

I played college basketball at Johns Hopkins from 2012-2016. As a senior, I was named team captain and earned honors as our conference's scholar-athlete of the year. I finished my career ranked 4th all-time in school history for 3-pt field goals made. After playing in college, I played one year overseas in Ireland. I averaged 25 ppg for the Galway Titans in Ireland's National League. I've trained hundreds of kids in the Philly area over the past decade. There's nothing more rewarding than helping a young athlete realize their potential!

Get to know Coach Gene

About Me:

How I can help you improve your game:

I will focus on shooting, ball handling, and fitness while tailoring each session to the specific athlete and their goals. Having played at the highest level, I understand how much work it takes to get there.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

The whole session typically lasts 60-75 minutes. I start with a warmup, about an hour of intense drills, then 1v1 with coach Gene at the end! If you can beat me, I'll give you $20.

Career summary and accomplishments:

I've been a private coach for the past 10 years in Philadelphia area and helped all of my clients grow into high school and/or college players. Age ranges from 7-18.

I also volunteer as a CYO coach during the winter.

Best coach I ever had:

Might be a cliché, but it's my dad - hands down. He taught me what it meant to work hard while enjoying the game, and that's exactly what I want to pass onto the next generation!

What athletes and parents should know about me:

I'm willing to train in the AM, PM, or weekends. I work a full-time day job but I'm flexible with my schedule. And I always tell people when they train with me - expect to work your butt off. Training should be the difficult part so games come easy.

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.
