From ball handling, spot shots, movement shots, guard skills and playing in the post too. Whatever you are looking to improve, I can help you.

About Me:
I played basketball ever since I was young. Many different AAU circuits, playing in the EYBL for two years with the St Louis Eagles and Chicago Meanstreets. I then played D1 college basketball at Grand Canyon University for 1 year, and 3 years at Wright State university. Winning our conference and playing in the NCAA tournament in the 2021-2022 season. I then went to play professionally in Europe. With stops in Sweden and my most recent team was in the Czech Republic.
How I can help you improve your game:
Analyzing their habits, foundation and moving forward from there. Without a solid foundation, there is nothing to fall back on when your in a real game. From here, we develop into more advanced training.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We start with an active stretch routine to get the body warm and ready to play. Immediately we are into stationary and then movement ball handling. From here, depending on the player we go into guard skills or post player skills work. These drills will consist of many different exercises, focusing on footwork, form, pace, and overall ability to improve. I will simulate the defenders in many instances. Providing what it will really feel like in a game like situation.
Career summary and accomplishments:
In the summers during my off season I have run countless workouts training the youth through various cities I have been in. I have also worked many high school and college camps. I have experience dealing with all ages, skill levels and personality types.
Best coach I ever had:
My dad. He taught me the fundamentals and how to play the game. He also helped me with one of the most important sides of the game, which is the psychological aspect of basketball.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am adaptable to the player. I am very involved in the development of your child, and will do a very detailed assessment from the beginning to ensure we are working on beneficial aspects of the game to get the best results. Starting with foundational principles and moving our way up. And if they are more advanced we simply step into this fluidly right away.

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.
