Get to know Coach Nadja
About Me:
I started playing basketball at 8 years old on my father’s youth rec team. I continued to play throughout middle school. When I got to high school I began to take basketball serious because I knew that I wanted to play in college. I began playing AAU and started working with trainers. I played in numerous showcase tournaments against high level talent to gain exposure from college coaches. I went from no offers at the beginning of my senior season to landing a dll offer at Ohio Valley University. My freshman year at OVU I worked myself into the starting lineup after being told I wasn’t going to be apart of that seasons rotation. It just took hard work and dedication.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help improve an athletes game by not only analyzing their skill level through a series of drills but there mentality as well. I can highlight the areas that need improvement and make an individualized plan to help take their game to the next level.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session with me includes footwork, ball handling game like drills, and shooting reps.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached at youth girls basketball camps in the past where I helped teach the fundamentals of the game. I also had the opportunity to coach a 3rd-6th grade girls basketball team where we went undefeated for the season.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I have ever had was my dad. I learned the game from him. He would film all of my games and we would go back and watch so he could critique my performance and show me where I could improve. Even when he’s wasn’t my coach if I was having an off game I could look up at the stands and count on my dads hand signals to show me where I was erroring.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I want athletes and parents to know that I dedicated 11 years to basketball as an athlete where I gained knowledge , faced adversity and even created a network along the way. Using my expertise, I want to help the next generation of athletes on their basketball journey.

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!
