I help athletes reach their goals.
The NCAA conducted a study to find out how many high school basketball players actually play in college. The number came out to 3.6%, which may seem really low at first. Despite this fact, as a kid, I had a dream, to play professional basketball. Everyone around me told me that the number was too low, that there weren't enough spots, and that I was not good enough. I was cut from my freshman team, and considered giving up. Against all odds, I proved that hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard. This goes to show, that with the right training, and some hard work, anyone can be that 3%. Hey, my name is Landon Hostetler and I am a current college basketball player, a skills development trainer, and an assistant coach. I am currently chasing my dreams of playing overseas basketball, while also starting this company. My mission is to be a light to all the kids who come through my program, and hopefully help them improve in their strength, speed, and basketball skills along the way.

About Me:
I’m a dedicated college basketball player based in Belton, Missouri, with a passion for the game that extends beyond the court. For the past 3–4 years, I’ve been training young athletes, helping them develop their skills and confidence—and I truly love every moment of it. My ultimate goal is to take my talents to the next level and pursue a professional basketball career overseas, where I can continue to grow, compete, and inspire others around the world.
How I can help you improve your game:
I specialize in identifying areas where athletes need improvement and strategically guiding them to turn those weaknesses into strengths. My focus is not just on general development, but on helping each athlete become elite in a specific aspect of the game—whether it’s shooting, ball handling, defense, or overall basketball IQ—so they can stand out and excel with confidence.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each training session begins with a focused 10–15 minute warm-up to activate the body and mind. From there, we transition into skill development—either introducing new techniques or refining existing ones based on the athlete’s individual goals. We then move into advanced, game-relevant drills designed to challenge the player’s decision-making and reaction time, ensuring they not only master the skill but also understand how to apply it effectively in real-game situations.

Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I’ve ever had is Coach Robby Bollinger. I began training with him as a freshman in high school, with little understanding of the game and no experience in the weight room. When I told him I wanted to play professional basketball, he didn’t hesitate—he simply said, “Let’s get to work.” Through his guidance and relentless support, I developed into a college-level athlete and earned multiple basketball scholarships. To this day, he remains a trusted mentor and a powerful example of what it truly means to be a coach.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m passionate about training young athletes and helping them pursue their goals with confidence and determination. I firmly believe that no dream is out of reach—with dedication, discipline, and hard work, anything is possible.

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!
