I turn middle and high school players into college basketball players
I have been in the basketball world for 10 years as a high-level player, a coach and a trainer. I have trained 25+ college/professional players. I know what it takes to become a college basketball player and more importantly I know how to train it. My workouts are intense and focused, not for everyone. But if you have a dream to play college basketball, I will help you get there
How I can help you improve
I help athletes develop a complete skill set by focusing on shooting, ball handling, footwork, passing, and basketball IQ. Every drill and skill I teach is designed to translate directly into game situations, so players aren't just working hard—they're improving in ways that make a difference on the court.
My goal is to develop well-rounded athletes who can confidently shoot, dribble, pass, make smart decisions, and impact the game in every phase. I believe the best players aren't just the most skilled—they're the ones with the highest basketball IQ, who understand how and when to apply those skills in real game situations.
A typical training session
1. Train It – Every session begins with skill development focused on areas like ball handling, shooting, passing, footwork, and finishing. Through purposeful repetition, athletes build confidence, improve technique, and strengthen the fundamentals.
2. Apply It – Once the skill is developed, we put it into game-like situations. Athletes practice what they've learned in realistic scenarios, helping them build confidence and transfer their skills to real competition.
3. Understand It – Throughout every session, I teach the *why* behind each drill and decision. By understanding the game, athletes improve their basketball IQ, recognize situations before they happen, and make smarter plays with confidence.

Best coach I ever had
I've been fortunate to have so many great coaches throughout my career that it's impossible to choose just one. Each of them impacted my game in a different way and helped shape the coach and trainer I am today.
Coach Beschta taught me the importance of proper shooting mechanics and efficient shooting concepts. Coach Wheeler helped me become a master of the pick-and-roll and taught me how to read the game. Coach Kisner challenged me to become one of the toughest and most competitive players on the court. Coach Drake emphasized the value of basketball IQ and showed me what it truly means to be a point guard.
Every coach I've had contributed something unique to my development. Today, I draw from all of those experiences to help my players become more skilled, smarter, and more complete basketball players.
What athletes & parents should know
I care about your child’s success above all else. My goal is for every athlete I work with to understand that when they set their mind to something and commit to working extremely hard, real growth and success will follow.
The process won’t always be easy, and at times it will be uncomfortable—but that’s where development happens. I want kids to learn that hard work, consistency, and belief in themselves will take them further than they ever imagined.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
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.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
