How I can help you improve your game:

First I like to start from the ground up. Before we can do anything skill wise, I love to ensure that my players have a great base and excellent footwork. We improve on the mental side of the game as well by developing basketball IQ and reading/reacting.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

Training sessions vary depending on what each player is looking to accomplish. Typically sessions begin with ball handling conditioning, allowing for both to be intertwined. Finishing and shooting typically takes place in the middle, and lastly a combination of in game scenarios will end the session (ex: backdoor cut into a layup, to bringing the ball downcourt with light pressure, into coming off a screen for a shot)

Career summary and accomplishments:

Assistant Coach for TN Valley Prep Postgraduate Program (Sent 11 players to a JUCO during my 2 years there) Middle school assistant/head coach (2020-2024); 2 championships and 3 runner ups Assistant Coach for Calhoun Community College

Best coach I ever had:

The best coach I ever had was Coach Dwayne Shumate. He treated each player like they were his own son and wanted the best for them. I want to be able to do that in my own way and pay it forward through the game we all love.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

I have a passion for growth and development on and off the court, and my ultimate goal is to get you to the next level and make you the best version of yourself as a player and young person!

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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!
