Former Division III Basketball Player | Basketball Fundamentals
As a former college basketball player, I've seen what it takes to get to that level and compete there. I can help others develop their game and mental approach, building a foundation for whatever their individual goals may be.
How I can help you improve
As a player on a strong college basketball team, I saw what it took to compete with the best teams in the country. Our successes were just the end result of our very disciplined process and emphasis on staying present.
I can help other's developer their shooting and footwork, but also provide guidance on discipline and mental approach. When I was working hard to become a college player, I found a mix of rigid drills and drills that allowed for some freedom and decision making, while allowing for some mistakes, was what grew my game the most, and I am eager to share that process with others.
A typical training session
A session would be about an hour and will be tailored to an athlete's specific goals, strengths, and areas of improvement. We'll start with a warm-up to get ready, then move into a few ball handling drills and a shooting warm-up (form shooting/mechanical drill variations). From there, drills (shooting, finishing, dribbling) will be a mix of block practice and variable practice to build both confidence in repetition and decision making in less repetitive drills. Mistakes (of effort) are encouraged and will simply be teaching moments.
Career & accomplishments
As a member of the Swarthmore Men's Basketball team:

Best coach I ever had
I've been fortunate to have great coaches across all the levels I've played at and it's extremely difficult to pick just one. However, I will always be grateful for my high school coach, who believed in me even when I struggled on the court, and pushed me hard while also showing he truly cared about me as both a player and person.
What athletes & parents should know
The Swarthmore team culture that thoughtfully balanced discipline and accountability with care and expectations for supporting others both on and off the court is something I will always carry with me.

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.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
