About Me:
I’m a former collegiate basketball player and team captain who understands the game from the inside out—what it takes to lead, compete, and perform when it matters most. My playing career shaped my approach to basketball, emphasizing discipline, accountability, and a deep understanding of team dynamics and individual roles.
Since then, I’ve coached at every level of the game, working with youth, high school, and advanced players, while logging countless hours of personal training experience. I specialize in player development that blends skill work, basketball IQ, confidence-building, and real-game application. My goal is simple: help players unlock their potential, elevate their mindset, and prepare them to succeed at the next level—on and off the court.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help improve a player’s gameplay by focusing on what actually translates to the court, not just drills. We break down strengths and weaknesses through game-like training, film insight, and situational reps so players understand why they do things, not just how. This builds better decision-making, spacing, and confidence under pressure.
I also emphasize fundamentals, conditioning, and mental toughness—because consistency is what separates good players from impactful ones. By tailoring each session to the player’s position, goals, and learning style, I help them play faster, smarter, and more confidently in real games, not just look good in workouts.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session starts with a dynamic warm-up and ball-handling to get the body loose and the mind locked in. From there, we move into skill development tailored to the player’s position and goals—shooting off the catch and dribble, footwork, finishing, and game-speed reads. Every drill is designed to simulate real game situations, not just repetition for repetition’s sake.
As the session progresses, we layer in decision-making, conditioning, and competitive reps so players learn to execute while tired and under pressure. We finish with situational work—scoring moves, defensive concepts, or live reads—followed by quick feedback on what went well and what to focus on next. The goal is for players to leave sharper, more confident, and ready to apply what they learned immediately in games.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I'm the first player at my collegiate university to record a triple double in a game.
Best coach I ever had:
A Personal Trainer in my 11th grade year (Salam) - He changed my mindset towards basketball. I'm forever thankful.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I love working with young kids and giving back to the community. Along with playing and teaching sports, I have volunteered at Boys and Girls Clubs and YMCA's around the world. My hope is to become a mentor for your child and providing a positive resource that they can turn to, if needed.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
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.
