About Me:
A Point Gaurd at The Southern University, been playing basketball for 13 years!
How I can help you improve your game:
You should choose me because I don’t just train skills. I train understanding. As a high-IQ point guard, I see the game through reads, timing, spacing, and decision-making, not just drills. I teach players how to control tempo, break down defenses, make the right pass, and score efficiently. The same way elite guards like Chris Paul and Luka Dončić control games. My training goes beyond cones and combos; I develop poise, leadership, and real in-game confidence so players don’t just look good in workouts, they dominate when it matters.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We start with intentional warm-up and footwork activation (5–10 minutes) — ball control, change-of-pace dribbles, balance work, and finishing footwork to build rhythm and body control. Then we move into decision-based skill work (15–20 minutes): pick-and-roll reads, manipulating help defenders, pocket passes, floaters, and scoring off live reads instead of scripted cone drills. After that, we go into game-situation reps (15–20 minutes) like advantage drills, late-clock scenarios, and tempo control — teaching when to attack and when to slow the game down.
Career summary and accomplishments:

HIGH SCHOOL:
Attended Spire Academy where she was the schools first dual sport athlete ... three-time all county selection for basketball ... two-time all tournament team selection
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Nichole Ohlde, played at K-state and went pro after. She taught me the in and outs of the game, and how to work hard.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I’m not just a trainer. I’m a teacher of the game. I focus on real development, not just flashy drills. Every session is built around decision-making, game situations, discipline, and confidence so players improve where it actually matters: in live competition. I hold athletes accountable, push them to think the game, and build leadership, not just skill. My goal isn’t quick hype or social media clips it’s long-term growth, higher basketball IQ, and helping players become complete, dependable teammates 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.
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.
