About Me:
With 13 years of AAU coaching experience, including my current work with the elite Drive Nation EYBL program, I’ve helped players at every level sharpen their skills and reach their potential. Numerous athletes I’ve coached have gone on to succeed in college and even at the professional level. As a former collegiate (Covenant College) player, I combine real playing experience with proven development strategies. My mission is to bring high-level training to players across the metro area and help them unlock the next stage of their game.
How I can help you improve your game:
By creating a training plan built specifically for you based around your goals, your skill level, and the way you learn. The focus will be on strengthening your fundamentals, sharpening decision-making, and building confidence through consistent, tailored sessions. My goal is to support your growth every step of the way so you can play smarter, stronger, and with more purpose on the court.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
It is structured, focused, and fully tailored to your needs. Things are started with a dynamic warm-up and light conditioning to prepare your body, then move into skill work that targets your specific goal with ball-handling, shooting, footwork, finishing, etc. Defensive fundamentals, decision-making drills, and game-real situations are built in as well so you’re developing on both sides of the ball. Every session ends with feedback, review, and a clear next step, ensuring steady, well-rounded progress each time we’re on the court.
Career summary and accomplishments:
My coaching career is defined by consistent player development and proven results. I’ve trained 20+ athletes who advanced to the college level and three who are now playing professionally overseas with more on the way. The teams I’ve led have captured countless tournament titles, but my greatest accomplishment is the long-term trust I build with my players. Even after they move on, our connection lasts, and I continue to support their journey. Their success is the strongest testament to the work I do.
Best coach I ever had:
My AAU coach, Gerald Ogletree
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m fully committed to each player’s long-term growth, on and off the court. I go the extra mile to support their development, build real relationships, and invest in who they are as people, not just as athletes. I’m also flexible with training locations and can meet at a gym that’s convenient for you if you have a location in mind. If you’d like to set something up, just send me a message.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
