About Me:
Basketball is my life. Every day is an opportunity to be better than I was yesterday, and I bring that mindset into everything I do. I’m committed to constant improvement, hard work, and pushing past limits.
I don’t just train players I want to make an impact on their lives in any way possible. Whether it’s building confidence, discipline, or love for the game, my goal is to help athletes grow both on and off the court.
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus on helping players develop complete, game-ready skills. My training emphasizes attention to detail, consistency, and building habits that translate directly into real game situations.
I prioritize both offensive and defensive development, making sure players become more confident, disciplined, and effective on both ends of the court. My goal is for every athlete to improve their performance, mindset, and overall understanding of the game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session starts with a dynamic warm-up followed by core workouts and push-ups to build strength and endurance. Then we focus on skill development, including ball handling, shooting, footwork, and defensive work.
We train at game speed with a lot of repetition and attention to detail. I emphasize defense, effort, and building habits that translate into real game situations.
I also use an app to track progress, so players can see their improvement over time and stay accountable.
We finish with game-like drills and feedback so you leave every session better than when you came
Career summary and accomplishments:
I’ve dedicated myself to basketball through consistent training, discipline, and a strong work ethic. I played point guard at the varsity level, where I’ve developed strong leadership, decision-making, and game IQ.
Even without focusing on awards, I’ve earned recognition through my impact on the game and my ability to lead. I was selected as an All-Star coach, which reflects my knowledge of the game and my ability to help others improve.
I bring that same mindset into my trainingfocusing on fundamentals, confidence, and helping players reach their full potential.

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.
