About Me:
I am a former PRO AM Basketball athlete training hours a day at 30+ years old. I was trained with former NBA players Andre Cobbs & 76ers Sharone Wright in my college years. I've participated in many travel team basketball and tournaments here in Caifornia. In my overseas career I was a practice player in the PBA Development league in the Philippines and was undrafted in the PBA in 2012. After my overseas experience I got in touch with Travel Ball, in touch with friends in the JBL National PRO AM, Drew League & still pursuing a Professional career while helping the community. I recently tried out for the Tampa Bay Titans team in Florida and unfortunately did not make the pro Roster but throughout the day it is love and passion for the game.
How I can help you improve your game:
I helped many athletes, student athletes improve their game by focusing on their mind first to their goal, following their physical evolution by putting them in a Basketball specific training and their recovery of what they should be nutritionally consuming.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
The session plan focuses on the principle of strengthening and conditioning before a player is applied in the basketball court for performance, drills, and competition. On alternating days the players jump into strength training or plyometrics following the 2nd hour basketball drill and conditioning which consists of; 8 lap warm-up, dribbling drills, shooting drills, shooting placement, splitting the defense, lay up drills, and defensive slides. During the closing period of the session I work on the players flexibility, mobility, and reflex movement as well as proper nutrition.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I learned playing basketball in an early age and have taught the sport in LA unified School District. I ran several Clinics in Socal helping teams based from Russia, Philippines and everyday people. I also had the chance to coach for MPBL Manny Pacquiaos league and decided I wanted to be in an environment where I can play and coach in a more Equal diverse people.
Best coach I ever had:

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.
