About Me:
I played varsity from 2002-2006 as a point guard. We had the best record in school history and won the District 3 PIAA Championship in 2004.
Made the Mid-Penn Big 15, First Team All District 3, as well as 2nd Team All State.
Played 2 years at Neumann University as a guard in the PSAC Conference.
Started Coaching as a volunteer assistant right around the time I was starting to learn HOW to become a skill development teacher.
How I can help you improve your game:
Providing players the right blend of player development, skill development & improving their basketball IQ from a holistic approach. IF you have a specific desired result, I am more than confident that I can help any player regardless of age, skill level or experience bring their goals into fruition.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Static Stretching/Warm-up using extremely unconventional methods to get the players attention while preparing the body for movement, followed by intentional repetitions on 1 specific skill that will lead to obtaining the desired result set forth in the beginning of each session.
ALL in-person lessons will be available as a resource utilizing the Handles From Home App.
Film Breakdown Consultations are complimentary depending on the length of time spent with the student, which is a minimum of 3 months.
Career summary and accomplishments:
2012-2013 - CD East Boys' Varsity Consultant 2013-2014 Central Dauphin Boys' JV Volunteer Assistant 2013-2014 South Central Select 14U Boys' Head Coach 2014-2015 Central Dauphin Middle School Boys' Varsity Head Coach
Best coach I ever had:
Marty Hasenfus was my High School Coach at Central Dauphin. He changed the entire culture of CD Boys' Hoops by allowing my class to hone our craft by spending thousands of hours in the gym. I've never met a Coach who paid that much attention to detail and was extremely forward thinking in his approach to the game. Without his help, I wouldn't have had the success I gained in college so quickly. I was ready to play college basketball before I graduated from High School and Marty Hasenfus is a huge reason why.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have the ability to teach any player regardless of age, experience or skill level but... There is a specific type of player that fits my criteria as an ideal client. You must choose to hold yourself accountable in order to reach your desired result. It is not my responsibility to put in the necessary work for YOU. This is something that you must choose to do in order to grow as a young adult on and off the court.

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!
