I started my basketball career at Crossroads School. As a freshman I helped lead the Varsity team to one of four undefeated league championships. We also won a CIF Championship in 1992. I was All League three times, All CIF, and on the All State team. After Crossroads. I attended UC Davis and won a Division 2 National Championship; which lead to the school becoming a Division one program.
I can help a person improve their game by expanding on the skill sets they already have and by working on the skills they don't have. I make sure all my athletes know some skills take longer than others to develop.
A typical session starts with a warm up drill. Warm up drill vary depending on an athlete's skill level. After a few warm up drills, we may do some ball handling start off stationary and progress into movement. After ball handling we will progress in to shooting. Shooting maybe stationary, off the dribble, or on the move. After every drill we shoot free throws and get water if needed. What happens after shooting depends on the athlete's skill set. We may do some drill improving footwork or we may work one 1 on 1 moves. Technically there is no typical session.
I have been coaching/training for 24 years at all levels. I have helped athletes get full scholarships to play college basketball, I have helped a few players get to the NBA, most importantly all of the players I have and continue to coach get better.
The best Coach I ever had was John Lonsdale. He was the first coach that taught me how to be a leader, he taught me about community service, and to always be me. Most importantly Coach John taught me to never be afraid of the moment.
Parents and athletes should know that I am a parent of three athletes and being a former athlete I am very relatable. I take pride in being very punctual, I am aware that your time is valuable. Lastly I really enjoy helping athletes get better on and off the court.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
