About Me:
Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, I am a former athlete who has dedicated my career to mentoring young athletes in Austin, Texas, since graduating from St. Edward’s University in 2010. With a master’s degree in Sports Psychology, I am passionate about helping athletes develop not only their skills on the court but also the confidence, discipline, and mindset needed to succeed in life. Seeing young athletes grow, achieve, and realize their potential is what drives me every day.
How I can help you improve your game:
My goal is to prepare every athlete to perform at their highest level—whether that means excelling during the season, standing out at tryouts, or becoming a more complete and confident player. I focus on enhancing each player’s greatest strengths while turning weaknesses into assets. Training emphasizes key areas such as footwork, ball-handling, court vision, shooting, defense, offensive skills, discipline, and focus.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
In each session, I focus on helping athletes elevate their basketball skills through structured, individualized training. The first session begins with an assessment of key areas such as ball-handling, shooting, speed, strength, and agility. This evaluation allows me to design a personalized plan that targets both strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring steady and visible progress.
Workouts blend skill development with strength and conditioning, emphasizing off-hand control, shooting consistency, and mental focus techniques that build confidence and perseverance.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I was honored to be selected as an All-Star in Chicago’s East vs. West High School Basketball Game in 2006 while representing Taft High School. My college career continued at Oakton Community College, where I was named the NJCAA Illinois Skyway Conference Player of the Year in 2008. I later advanced to St. Edward’s University in Austin, TX, where I earned First-Team All-Conference honors in the NCAA Division II Heartland Conference.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Steve Pratt (Full Package Athletics, Oakton Community College) taught me how basketball lessons and obstacles reflect and impact decisions that we make in life.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m deeply passionate about teaching young athletes the fundamental skills of basketball. I understand how essential it is to master the core principles of the game, as doing so makes playing both more enjoyable and more effective. I’m fully committed to helping my athletes experience immediate progress, building the confidence they need to succeed on and off the court.

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.
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!
