Get to know Joshua
High-energy basketball trainer building smarter, tougher, confident players.
With 32 years in basketball, I help athletes develop elite IQ, confidence, footwork, scoring ability, conditioning, and real game performance through high-energy training and detailed skill development.
How I can help you improve
I help athletes improve basketball IQ, confidence, conditioning, footwork, scoring, ball handling, and overall game performance through high-energy training built for real in-game results. My coaching focuses on developing smarter, tougher, more disciplined players while teaching the details that separate good athletes from great ones.
A typical training session
A typical session includes dynamic warmups, ball handling, footwork, shooting, scoring moves, conditioning, and live game situations. I focus on high-energy reps, basketball IQ, confidence, and teaching players how to translate skills directly into real game performance.
Career & accomplishments
Basketball and athlete development have been a major part of my life for over 32 years. Growing up, I won multiple championships and tournament titles while competing at a high level. In 1998, I attended the Michael Jordan Camp and was offered an opportunity to be part of the Nike Traveling Team.
In high school, I transitioned full-time into football to play quarterback and later competed at the JUCO level at Allan Hancock College. While playing college football, I also coached and developed younger athletes, including helping train my younger brothers.
My coaching career has included winning numerous championships while developing athletes through skill work, basketball IQ, conditioning, and confidence building. I also trained my cousin, Nick Reese, who became the #14 ranked high school basketball player in the ESPN rankings.
I was selected to coach for the Police Activities League and currently coach with the Texas Suns organization, continuing to help athletes grow both on and off the court through disciplined, high-energy player development.
Best coach I ever had

What athletes & parents should know
Athletes and parents should know that I genuinely care about player development both on and off the court. I bring high energy, accountability, discipline, and over 32 years of basketball experience into every session. My goal is not just to improve skills, but to build confidence, basketball IQ, work ethic, and competitive mindset.
I’ve coached championship-level teams, trained high-level athletes, and understand how to connect with players of all ages and skill levels. I push athletes to improve while creating a positive environment focused on growth, effort, and real results.

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.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
