Get to know Coach Kieran
About Me:
Played mixed circuit basketball 5+ years in competitive leagues
Played through middle/high school as shooting guard
Received all-league considerations and invites to all-star events
How I can help you improve your game:
I specialize in focusing on raw skills to begin a training circuit (shooting, dribbling, passing etc.), then progressing into in-game skills and intangibles such as court awareness, screen actions, and defensive positioning.
Each raw skill is developed during the introductory sessions, with most in-game skills beginning practice after the 4th/5th sessions based on previous experience.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
The first step to beginning sessions with me is getting to know you as a player and as a person. Building a structured plan for your child’s development (evaluating skill levels in both raw skills and in-game skills/intangibles) allows me to analyze the areas of focus. I pride myself in helping your child sharpen their strengths and tackling their areas of improvement.
Once their skill plan is decided, our sessions will usually begin with a short stretch, light cardio, and then skill development based on your own personal goals as they relate to your skill level. Then, we always want our sessions to end with a game, whether it be H.O.R.S.E. or a 1-on-1 scrimmage. No matter what, I’ll ensure that every session = having fun!
Career summary and accomplishments:
4 years coaching basketball at the JJV (5th and 6th grade), JV (6th and 7th), and Varsity (8th grade) level. 2+ years volunteer experience coaching mixed circuit (ages 6-18) 8 years coaching private clients with special needs
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I’ve had is Coach Ryan, a devoted teacher and savant of the game of basketball. The skills and values I learned from his lessons have certainly translated into making me the player and coach that I am today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Having over 10+ combined years of experience working with kids, I want parents to know that in all of our sessions, your child’s needs come first. I encourage my athletes to see the game of basketball for the values it holds— importance of teamwork, hustle, and camaraderie. My priority as your coach will always be to help you grow not just as an athlete, but as a person.

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 determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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!
