Helping to improve your overall game and to tweak any areas you feel need work!
Athletes and their parents should train with me for a plethora of reasons. For starters i am a very competitive and passionate person for the game of basketball and i try to help the younger generation grow whenever i can. I believe working on the basics and the honing the fundamentals are a lost art when it comes to training, and that is something i focus on dearly! Repetition is the key to all things in life and basketball is one of the many things that require it.

About Me:
I am 32 years old and still very active with playing basketball in competitive leagues and tournaments. I’m still constantly getting in the gym and working on my game to stay on top of it as the game is always evolving. I got introduced to basketball from my father at a young age around 5 years old. Attended Mansfield High School in Mansfield Mass and played all 4 years averaging 16 ppg and 10 rpg senior year. Also went to Bridgewater State University and played all 4 years averaging 20 ppg and 15 rpg senior year
How I can help you improve your game:
- building overall confidence
- working on small tweaks to make bigger impacts
- repetition with the fundamentals and basics
What a typical training session looks like with me:
- starting with form shooting in front of the hoop
- then begin with working on whatever you need guidance with (footwork, dribbling, shooting, etc)
Career summary and accomplishments:
My junior and senior years of high school my team won the Hockomock Championship while also making it to the Garden both years. Senior year made it as far as the Semifinals at the Garden. At Bridgewater State University i scored 1,000 points in 3 years, top 5 on the all time scoring list and top 10 on the all time rebounding list. Won the MASCAC Championship my Junior year and made it to the NCAA Division 3 tournament. Senior year i won MASCAC player of the year while getting player of the week every single week. Was selected as a starter in the Salem Virginia Division 3 Reeses All Star Game. Entered the Mansfield Basketball Hall Of Fame.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach i ever had is my father. Not only for the game of basketball but in life in general. He’s the one who put the ball in my hands and taught me how to play the game. Without him i wouldn’t have even gotten this far with this sport. The things he’s taught me throughout my life transcends basketball and equates to everyday life. That coaching and that wisdom from my father has helped me better myself in all aspects.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’ve played competitively and worked out with players from divisions 1-3, as well as Overseas and professional NBA players. Getting insight from all different levels has helped me grow and improve. Me being around different perspectives has given me a better understanding of the game.

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.
