Helping young athletes grow through effort, confidence, and joy.
From a young age, I have gone to many 1 on 1 workouts with many different trainers. I believe that trainers have a huge impact on an athletes game mentally, emotionally, and physically. My trainers always instilled confidence in me through countless reps and hard work. I want to do the same, encouraging young athletes to work hard, persevere, and most importantly, make the game of basketball FUN.
How I can help you improve
-Develop confidence on and off the court
-Improve ball handling skills
-Improve shooting skills
-Improve basketball IQ and decision making
-Teach proper foot work and fundamentals
-Improve passing and court vision
-Prepare for tryouts and competitive play
-Develop leadership and communication skills
-Create a strong work ethic and a growth mindset
A typical training session
Typically I will ask the player what they want to work on. Anything they want, I can form a training session based on the info. If they come and don’t know what they want to work on, I will have a training session that will focus on dribbling, shooting, and passing.
I want to hear each player out, understand their goals and where they want to be, and help them get there. If a player wants to just have fun… I can do that too!!

Best coach I ever had
The best coach I had is named Troy Devries. He played in Europe and on the Lakers for a little. I came to him when I wanted to become a better basketball player, in 6th grade. I wasn’t getting any playing time on my team and so I never felt good enough. I came across Troy who taught me more than just basketball. He equipped me with skills and moves that elevated me above my teammates. He also instilled confidence in me on and off the court. The best thing about Troy is he took the time to listen to what I needed, and gave me that with encouragement, no judgement, and fun. He completely changed what basketball meant for me from a stressful sport to a fun activity that I can be great at. Till this day, seven years later, I still train with Troy.
What athletes & parents should know
The biggest reason why I want to become a trainer is to make an impact in young athletes lives to grow confidence and improve their skill set, just as Troy did for me. I want them to have fun while giving everything they got each rep with hard work.

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!
