About Me:
Playing basketball at the University of Arizona provided a solid foundation for a promising career in the sport. The competitive collegiate environment honed skills, fostered teamwork, and instilled a strong work ethic. Following this collegiate stint, working for the Utah Jazz offered invaluable insight into the professional basketball world. It provided firsthand experience of the demands and dynamics of the NBA, contributing to personal growth and skill refinement.
Before these professional experiences, being ranked as one of the top 14 ESPN high school basketball players in the country showcased exceptional talent and dedication at a young age. This recognition solidified a reputation for excellence and laid the groundwork for future successes. Combined, these experiences represent a journey marked by achievement, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in basketball at various levels, from high school to the professional arena.

Best coach I ever had:
Sean Miller stands as the epitome of coaching excellence in my journey, as he seamlessly balanced the roles of motivator and believer. His coaching transcended mere instruction; it was a testament to his unwavering commitment to my development both on and off the court. Coach Miller possessed an unparalleled ability to push me beyond my perceived limits, challenging me to strive for greatness with every practice and game. Yet, amidst the intensity, he never wavered in his belief in my abilities, instilling a sense of confidence and self-assurance that fueled my performance.

I understand firsthand the challenges and obstacles one encounters on the path to realizing their dreams. It's a journey fraught with setbacks, doubts, and uncertainties. However, I firmly believe that with unwavering dedication and relentless hard work, anything is possible. My role is not only to guide athletes through the rigors of training but also to nurture their belief in themselves and their potential to achieve greatness.

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 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.
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!
