Hey hey! My name is Coach Ri, I am a former NCAA D2 Point Guard and a current Pro Hooper in Europe. While home for the summers, I coach with PGC Basketball and do private training! My main goal in life is to leave this world better than I found it- I just happen to have a knack for this basketball thing ◡̈. My goal with each athlete is to give them the tools to be the best version of themselves, on and off the court. I learn about each athlete’s aspirations, and hold them to their individual standards. I believe that wherever you want to go in life, you need to act like you are already there. Sessions with me are entirely personalized. Varying anywhere from a 30 min film/mental coaching session to an hour of a skills workout to a 2 1/2 hour of the full instruction and application of new basketball tactics with strength and conditioning work. My work schedule is entirely flexible- I’ll be in the states until October! Looking forward to reaching your goals with you!
How I can help you improve
I can help improve your game both on and off the court. I offer on court skills and drills training: shooting, ball handling, passing (an underrated asset), and finishing, all in creative yet fundamental ways.
I offer strength and conditioning training, all formulated uniquely to each athlete and informed by my athletic experience.
Virtually, I like to stay connected with athletes through monthly check-in meetings that include mental performance advice. I also offer film breakdown of your own film but also at levels that you seek to play at.

Best coach I ever had
I’m not sure I can pick out one coach in particular- Each coach I have ever been with has given me little nuggets that I carry with me to this day. I have been blessed with an array of great coaches in my life, but even the “subpar” ones have taught me things 🤣
What athletes & parents should know
For every athlete, the ball eventually stops bouncing. In life, what you will most learn from basketball is what you put into it (relationship development, handling adversity, standing up for yourself, confidence, the list goes on).
I put the holistic well-being of my athletes first and foremost. I will make sacrifices to your workout if I deem it is not helpful for who you are becoming as a whole person.

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!
