Discipline determines outcomes.
Discipline determines outcomes.
I meet every athlete where they are and build what’s needed to reach where they want to go. My approach combines discipline, detail, and accountability to develop competitors who think, move, and perform with purpose. Every plan is built around the individual—tailored to their goals, mindset, and work ethic—because real progress requires both structure and belief. I don’t just train players; I build complete athletes prepared to win on and off the court.

Get to know Coach Laura
About Me:
I’m Coach Laura (“LT”), a former Division I athlete and professional skills coach who develops players through structure, detail, and mindset. My goal is to meet every athlete where they are, build what’s needed to reach where they want to go, and instill habits that translate beyond basketball. I bring a mix of experience, intensity, and genuine care to help players unlock their potential and perform with confidence.
How I can help you improve your game:
I’ll help you identify what’s holding you back and create a clear plan to fix it. From footwork and body control to decision-making and mentality, every session builds efficiency, confidence, and game-readiness. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your strengths, weaknesses, and the tools to keep improving on your own.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each session is structured and intentional, focused on steady progress and real development. You can expect a mix of teaching, challenge, and accountability — designed to build confidence, skill, and consistency that carry over into competition and life.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Former Division I player and multi-sport athlete turned professional skills and performance coach. Over 15 years of experience training athletes from youth to college level. Known for blending detail, discipline, and mindset to produce results. My background as both a player and coach allows me to connect, teach, and build athletes from every level of development.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Jeff Walz. He challenged us not only as basketball players but as people — to think deeper, lead stronger, and handle adversity with maturity. He demanded excellence in every detail while believing in who we could become. His influence shaped how I coach today: honest, detailed, and fully committed to helping athletes grow on and off the court.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m fully invested in the development of every player I work with. My approach is demanding but built on genuine care and purpose. I meet players where they are, hold them accountable, and teach them how to build confidence through discipline, consistency, and detail — not shortcuts.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
