My basketball IQ is backed by a career of proven results, and I bring that same standard to every athlete I train. I don’t just run drills; I build players. We dive into film, cultivate elite habits, and master the art of 'read and react' basketball. People often overlook the deeper elements of the game, but I focus on the mental and strategic layers that separate the good from the great. I believe athletes have the power to change the world—it all starts with shifting their perspective on and off the court

Get to know Coach Sherwyn
About Me:
Sherwyn Devonish Prince Jr, a young man from Bladensburg, Maryland. A person that values relationships over anything. A young man that had/has a dream just as your child. I've had dreams of playing at the next level, but most importantly I've dreamed of proving myself right. That I belong. That no matter how hard you try to overlook me, I will work endlessly to come out victorious. To some people I'm viewed as a star, but I tell them that I'm no different from the next person.
How I can help you improve your game:
My development process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of a player’s strengths and weaknesses, whether through live game observation or intensive skill testing. Once a baseline is established, I design a customized blueprint centered on two-dimensional versatility. My goal is to ensure every player is as much of a threat off the ball as they are with it. By combining rigorous ball-handling refinement with basketball IQ enhancement, I pass on my full breadth of knowledge to prepare them for the next level."
What a typical training session looks like with me:
approach every training session with the same discipline and intensity I maintained during my own playing career. We don't skip steps. Every workout begins with the fundamentals: proper stretching and form shooting to set the tone. From there, the session is entirely adaptive. Whether the focus shifts to high-intensity conditioning or technical footwork, the plan is dictated by the athlete’s specific needs in that moment. I train players to not just play the game, but to respect the preparation it requires.

Best coach I ever had:
Coach Todd Bozeman has an incredible legacy of developing elite guards, including NBA greats like Jason Kidd and Shareef Abdur-Rahim. Having him as my coach during my freshman year was transformative. He showed immense faith in me from day one, allowing me the space to learn while guiding me through the inevitable ups and downs of a collegiate career. He didn't just prepare me for the court; he prepared me for the weight of expectations and the mental toughness required for a long-term career in this sport.
What athletes and parents should know about me:

With professional aspirations in sight, I am dedicated to giving one hundred percent to every player I train. My mission is to help young athletes recognize their own potential, embrace the grind, and understand that while the path is challenging, the rewards of hard work are unmatched.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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.
