Get to know Jay

I know what’s not being the most skilled player and still make it to a national championship team. All it takes is hard work and discipline. These are the two most fundamental values I coach by, which not only applies in basketball, but in life.

About me

As player:

NCAA Basketball Athlete

1x High School National Champion

3x High School National Sub-Champion

By teaching them the two most fundamental principles in basketball: hard work and discipline. I will coach them around these, by pushing them to be their very best, always demanding more from them, to the point where they will demand more of themselves. This will allow them to perfect their skills on one on one trainings, through hard work, and they will take these skills even farther with self training, through discipline.

4 years coaching travel ball and club (ages 11-15)

2 years coaching middle school

My high school coach, Orlando “Landy” Pantojas. He taught me that by allowing myself to be coachable and pushing myself to my very best many opportunities would open, and they did. Thanks to him we made it to 4 national championships while in high school and I went on to play college basketball afterwards.

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and moved to California to finish my bachelor’s degree at UCSB. I’m an economics graduate with a minor in sports management. I love sports! Playing them, watching them and coaching them. I’ve been fortunate enough that sports have opened so many opportunities for me, and at this point I want my players to enjoy these same opportunities. I want them to fall in love with sports and for them to learn skills in sports that will help throughout life. I’m here to pass forward all my knowledge and to help my players be the very best they can be in basketball and in life!

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.
