High Energy, Competitive & Accountability
I'm passionate about helping players become the best version of themselves, both on and off the court. As a former D-III college player, 1,000-point scorer, All-Division player and Hoop Group All-Star, I know what it takes to develop your game and compete at a high level. Every training session is built around energy, accountability, and improvement. I also coach boxing, which gives me a unique approach to footwork, conditioning, discipline, and mental toughness. Whether you're looking to make the team, earn more playing time, or elevate your performance, I'll bring the same commitment to your growth that I brought to my own journey as a player.
How I can help you improve
I help athletes improve by combining proven basketball experience, high-energy coaching, and individualized skill development. I understand what it takes to succeed at multiple levels and strive to lead athletes on the path of becoming stronger players and individuals.
A typical training session
I focus on improving ball handling, shooting, footwork, decision-making, basketball IQ, and overall confidence. Conditioning, discipline, and mental toughness are a crucial area of emphasis. Every session is designed to challenge athletes, build confidence, and create measurable improvement, so they leave better than when they arrived.
Career & accomplishments
Some of my career accomplishments are:
- Division III College Basketball Player
- High School Varsity 1,000 Point Scorer
- 2x All-Division Basketball Honors
- Hoop Group All Star
- PIAA Class A State Qualifier - Cross Country
- Multiple medals in PIAA Track Events - 4x800, 800, 1600, 4x400
- Title Boxing Group Coach
Best coach I ever had
I was an 8th grader who was being moved up to the Freshman basketball team. My goals were set on advancing to JV & Varsity as a freshman so this was the season I needed to make significant improvements to my strength and skill on the court. My new coach was Coach Armstrong who was also the Head Varsity Football Coach at my school. He made a lasting impact on my game and my life. I learned countless lessons on failure and struggle and created my methods of overcoming obstacles. His ability to challenge me and develop my mental strength and toughness laid a foundation of how I can tackle any obstacle in life on and off the court.
What athletes & parents should know
I bring energy to every session. I believe athletes learn and improve best when training is challenging, competitive, and engaging. I bring high energy, enthusiasm, and positivity every time I step on the court, helping athletes stay motivated while pushing them beyond their comfort zone.
I'm committed to continuous improvement. My goal isn't just to run drills. Every workout is designed with purpose to help athletes make measurable improvements in their skills, confidence, and understanding of the game. I expect effort, focus, and a willingness to learn, and I give that same commitment back to every athlete I coach.
I bring a unique perspective from my experience with the heavy bag. As a boxing coach, I emphasize footwork, conditioning, discipline, balance, reaction time, and mental toughness. These skills translate directly to basketball and help athletes develop an edge over their competition.
I care about more than basketball. I want athletes to become better players, but also more confident, disciplined, and resilient individuals. The lessons learned through sports often carry over into school, work, and life.

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!
