Get to know Coach Chris
About Me:
I am a Basketball Player Development Coach with 19 years of experience dedicated to developing the whole athletes skill, mindset, character, and purpose. Through Training To Prosper, my coaching blends elite basketball fundamentals, intentional repetition, game IQ, emotional regulation, and life skills. I prioritize long-term growth over short-term results, helping players build confidence, accountability, discipline, and resilience. I partner closely with coaches and families to create alignment, clarity, and sustainable development, ensuring every athlete is prepared not just to perform but to prosper on and off the court.
How I can help you improve your game:
From fundamentals to advanced game IQ, we offer individualized training programs that build physical strength, technical skills, and mental toughness, all while teaching the importance of coachability and consistency.
We help athletes understand who they are and who they’re becoming. Through guided journaling, identity exercises, and values-based discussions, each athlete builds the foundation of self-respect, discipline, and integrity that fuels every choice—on the court and in life.
We treat school performance like game-time performance. Our academic coaching helps athletes stay focused on their studies, build better learning habits, and establish goals for school success.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each session integrates skill refinement, situational reads, and game-speed application, emphasizing ball handling, footwork sequencing, shot mechanics, pace control, and finishing versatility.
Each session is paired with Transformational Mindset Coaching to enhance focus, confidence, and competitive consistency. The same mental performance pillars emphasized at the highest levels of play.
Designed for athletes of all skill levels, players are challenged through game rep drills, competitive breakdowns, and decision making scenarios that translate directly to live competition. Every session is crafted to build efficient habits, improve basketball IQ, and elevate overall performance identity.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Having competed in soccer, baseball, track, football, and basketball throughout my youth, I gained the opportunity to learn from exceptional coaches and experiences that now allow me to intentionally pour into and develop the next generation of student-athletes.
Best coach I ever had:

What athletes and parents should know about me:
January's focus: Players are now in-season, and the focus shifts from learning to leading. The goal is to sustain excellence while maintaining energy, discipline, and focus through every practice, game, and classroom.

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!
