Book Private Basketball Lessons with Coach Jared
I have played and been a student of the game of basketball for my whole life. Basketball requires dedication in order to excel to the next levels, so I played year round to set my self apart from the multisport athletes. I have 2 years of JV Boys Basketball Head Coach experience; I had the opportunity to learn from one of the most successful coaches I have ever known at one of the schools that I coached at, Conant High School. He led his team to many championship titles and undefeated seasons, so I picked his brain to add his techniques to my coaching resume. I have completed my coaching certificate at NHTI, completed Point Guard College basketball camps where I studied film and took notes on intricate details of the game. I was offensive player of the year for my high school both junior and senior year. I was enrolled in one on one and group session training with Keene State College head basketball coach for 5 years and developed tremendously from those workouts. I would love to pass on my knowledge and skills to ambitious younger athletes and equip them with the mindset and skillset to maximize their basketball journey.

How I can help you improve your game:
I help break down the game into the small disciplines and skills that separate the average player from the leaders and stand outs. I like to teach how, why, and when to use different techniques to become the most efficient player possible. Ultimately basketball boils down to decision making, I try to teach when and why to use the skills that you already have.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each session entails different drills depending on the desired position the athlete is training to fulfill. Generally speaking I teach ball handling, shooting, post up, off ball movement/ read and react situations.
Career summary and accomplishments:

Best coach I ever had:
Rob Colbert was the best coach I ever had. He was the coach that taught me how to dig deep to compete and he explained details of the game in a fun and comprehendible way that would stick with me through out my basketball career.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have a unique balance of skill set development combined with mindset and philosophy to create the ideal basketball player. I value the leadership and moral lessons that basketball offers as much as the glory that talent brings.

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!
