Book Private Basketball Lessons with Coach Sherwyn
My knowledge's of the game speaks for itself. I will constantly push my athletes to the maximum. Training isn't about drills , its film, its habits, its seeing the game live, read and react. There are so much elements to basketball that people fail to realize. Athletes have the ability to change the world it all comes down to how they perceive the world.

How I can help you improve your game:
Finding their strengths and weaknesses. Evaluating them by either attending a game to see live tendencies, or testing their ability in a workout. With what I've seen, I'll create a plan from there. Initially what I look to do is to emphasize ball handling. Being a two dimensional player. You want to be a threat on the ball just like you would be off the ball. enhancing a players IQ. Using my knowledge about the game giving them every thing I know.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I treat everything like how I would if I was playing .
Stretching
Form Shooting
Depending on what I see that athlete needs to work on is what I work my session around. Some days it's conditioning, some days its footwork.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Coached for Team Durant's 8th Grade Team during the 2023 summer.
Best coach I ever had:
Todd Bozeman background of guards he coached. Coached Jason Kidd , and Sharif-Abdul Rahim. Two NBA Guards that had a wonderful career. I think he prepared me for the years to come in my collegiate career, as a freshman he showed faith in me. He let me learn , he guided me through my ups and downs. He prepared me for what I was going to face, that hardships of college, the preparation, the weight I was going to carry for the continuation of my career.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Im a player's coach. I teach from experiences. Playing at the highest level in collegiate basketball has allowed me to utilize basketball to my full discretion.

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.
