My expertise as a coach is identifying an athletes strengths and weaknesses and using those observations to help you pinpoint which parts of your game need to be developed and exactly how to do it. Whether you’re an ambitious athlete looking to quickly elevate your game or a beginner who’s looking to build a foundational skillset, you should train with me. Why? Because I care about athletes, I take your dreams seriously and I’m here to get you over the hill to the next level. As a coach I’ll listen to your vision, give you my insights and make sure you see visible progress rapidly!

I played 2 years of high-school Basketball and Soccer, being entrusted as team captain for Basketball. While I was admittedly not the most talented player on the team my court vision, understanding of the game and leadership among my teammates was recognized by my coaches and earned me a job straight out of high-school as a coach at an acclaimed basketball camp called Excel in Basketball.
The first step towards improvement is always one you have to take on your own. I first like to hear from the athlete; what motivates you? What are your own observations of your game? And what is your vision for yourself as a player? Once I’ve heard that I’ll combine it with my own observations and insights as a coach and craft a plan tailored specifically to that athlete to meet his or her goals. I pay close attention to things that are resonating with the athlete so we can follow them, as well as things that seem to be holding the athlete back so I can find a new approach. I’ll never switch up my coaching/training approach without first having a quick timeout with the athletes and collaboratively finding the root of the problem.
•Quick warm-up/discussion: You’ll always be free to ask me questions, make any comments or let me know any specific things you’re looking for out of todays session.
•General Training:
Execute our general training plan, working on every aspect of your game. The work outs will be prepared beforehand by me based around your specific goals but input from you is encouraged and in sessions adjustments can be made if needed.
•Weekly challenge: Each session I’ll give you a new challenge. Challenges will be designed to be fun, mark improvement, build confidence in preparation for game time scenarios.
•Specialized Training: Work on specialized areas of your game.
•Quick Debrief: Discuss how the day’s session went, what felt good, what needed improvement, what ideas were sparked, ect. Keeping perspective on your game is an essential part of your journey and will help both of us prepare more effectively for our next session so that we can keep your momentum going!

Frank Allocco Sr. Is the best coach I’ve ever had the opportunity to play under. Coach Allocco always emphasized that good habits are the key to becoming great at anything you do. He taught me that improvement is a habit you begin to have simply by igniting a desire to be better at something but can only continue to have if you decide every day to reignite that desire and find new ways to commit to it even when you face failure or discouragement. He once told me that the commitments you make are a reflection of who you are and require inner strength. Those were lessons that have continued to help me in every facet of my life.
I take pride in my work and it’s an honor to have a job where I have the opportunity to pass down the joys and triumphs of the games I love to the next generation. I take my work seriously and am committed to giving you a return on your investment in me as a coach, at the same time I am a firm believer in preserving the fun of sports. I am not the type of coach who is going to send athletes home with their confidence shaken. In fact one of my top priorities is to give them a clearer sense of identity as an athlete so that their confidence and enjoyment of the game can build on that throughout their playing career.

Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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.
