I treat coaching like school, I never stop learning. I imagine being the best coach as competition and I spend countless hours, training, reading, studying, film studying, researching, simulating, any way you think of, to make myself a better coach.
Start off with a 15 min warm up/ workout design. If you are out of shape we will condition, if you are weak we will workout, if you lack footwork we will ladder drills, don’t have coordination jump rope. If you warmed up prior we will skip warm and cut straight to practice.
Next 30 minutes could be anything fundamental such as; jump stops, pivot work, dribbling, passing, shooting, etc.
Last 15 minutes dedicated to competitive drills. 1 v 1, track shooting, timed drills, punishment drills, or working on something we struggled on in pass. Ending with 10 tracked free throws.
I’ve been coaching since junior year I’m college volunteering for my nearby boys and girls club. And after school programs. I desired to go privately so I used sites like CoachUp and word of mouth to coach at minimum wage or even free. Worked my way up to charge what I deserved while continue to volunteer coach for different recreation center. Now I’m at a point where I’m trusted with my work and clients reach out to me!
Coach Torino Johnson, coach of Cal State Los Angeles Girls. The last basketball coach I had, wish I performed better, but he always acknowledged my will for continuing athletics after not making the JV team then switching my focus to Volleyball.
I’m extremely passionate and I coach behind the “what ifs” if I stayed focused and trained harder during my youth days.

Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
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.
