About Me:
I played collegiate basketball at Southwestern Oklahoma State University from 2008-2010 for Coach Todd Thurman who was a great coach and mentor for me and still is till this day. Before my stint at SWOSU I played Junior college basketball at Arkansas Baptist College which helped me receive a full scholarship to play at SWOSU. I played at the historic Little Rock Central high and graduated from there as well in 2005. I have been fortunate enough to be around programs that have rich basketball tradition which in turn helped me get into the coaching world.
How I can help you improve your game:
1. Focus on the little things (Attention to detail will be implemented)
2. Building confidence (Comes with getting quality reps in every aspect of the game)
3. Discipline (I will see that the player stays consistent throughout session)
4. Intensity (How passionate and invested are you into improving and developing)
5. Keeping it simple (Players must be able to translate drill work to live action)
What a typical training session looks like with me:
1.Pre-Warm up (Stretching/Pre-Ball handling or Pre-Shooting)
2. Fundamental Work (Ball Handling/Shooting/Passing)
3. Access the Strengths and Weaknesses of the players basketball game
4. Dynamic part of the workout to get better (Add Ball handling and shooting together along with conditioning)
5. Defensive footwork will be added at times and will shoot free-throws periodically throughout workout
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached collegiate basketball for 11 years on the men's and women's side.

Best coach I ever had:
Clarence Finley was the best coach I ever laced them up. He was the ultimate mastermind when it came to the game of basketball. His attention to detail and to translate it over to us as players to help us not only develop individually but to also put it in a team concept to where we were thinking 4-5 plays ahead. Coach Finn had us playing at a high level and I played the point guard position so that elevated me to become good enough to be a college prospect.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have a positive mindset that can be used to influence athletes to reach their potential and develop strong passion and strong work ethic for the game of basketball. I am confident that my contribution will make a worthwhile impact.

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?
