I played college basketball at Cerro Coso community college down in Southern California and I’m now a student at the University Of Oregon. I know firsthand the work it takes to move from youth ball to the college level, but I also understand the dynamic between hard work and having fun. Beyond my own playing experience, I work in athlete representation or I talk regularly with high school athletes and their families about development and recruiting that gives me a clear picture of what college coaches look for and what separates players who get noticed I bring that perspective to every session building skills like ball handling shooting, and finishing while also helping players understand how to build good habits.
Ball handling: tighter control, change of pace, and moves you can use in game
Shooting: consistent form, footwork, and shooting off the catch and off the dribble
Finishing: layups with both hands, footwork around the rim, and finishing through contact
Basketball IQ: reading defenses, making the right read, and playing with confidence
Recruiting guidance: for high school players, I can explain what college coaches look for and how to get noticed
Warm-up and check-in (5–10 min): dynamic warm-up and a quick talk about what we're focusing on
Skill work (30–35 min): high-rep drills targeting the player's main goals
Game-speed reps (15 min): competitive drills that put new skills into real game situations
Wrap-up (5 min): recap for the player and parent, plus drills to work on at home

The best coach I ever had was Coach Rock. He pushed me on the court, but what made him special was the relationship we built off of it. He cared about me as a person, not just as a player, and that turned into a real friendship that's lasted beyond basketball. Last year he flew out from Atlanta, Georgia, to watch a Ducks game with me. That's what coaching is really about, and it's the kind of coach I work to be for every player I train.
I'm reliable. I show up on time, prepared with a plan, and I communicate clearly about scheduling.
I keep parents in the loop. After every session, I share what we worked on, what I'm seeing, and what's next.
I care about the whole player. Confidence, work ethic, and character matter as much to me as a jump shot.
I know the path to the next level. Through my playing career and my work in athlete representation, I understand what college coaches look for and can help players and families work through it.
I make it fun. Players work hard in my sessions, but they leave wanting to come back.
My goal is to help every player get better, gain confidence, and enjoy the game, just like Coach Rock did for me.

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.
