About Me:
Throughout my high school career, I was the captain of the varsity basketball team for all four years. I earned titles like Conference Player of the Year, Regional Player of the Year, First Team All-State, District Player of the Year, First Team All-Conference, and First Team All-District. I then played D2 college basketball at Bluefield College before transferring to Radford University, where I focused on my studies and played club/travel basketball. Now, I routinely play basketball to stay in shape and fuel my passion for the game.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help someone improve their game by focusing on essential skills and working on them step-by-step. This includes teaching techniques for better scoring, ball protection, quick and accurate shooting, and enhancing balance and coordination.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me is comprehensive and focused on several key aspects of basketball. We start with warm-up exercises to improve balance and coordination, ensuring the body is ready for more intense activity. Then, we move on to drills that teach how to score the ball easier by finding the best angles and using effective shooting techniques. I emphasize protecting the ball while dribbling, showing how to maintain control and avoid turnovers. We also work on getting your shot off quickly and accurately, even under pressure. Throughout the session, I incorporate drills to enhance teamwork and communication, helping players understand how to work effectively with their teammates on the court.
Career summary and accomplishments:
My coaching background includes occasional training sessions with kids I've met at the YMCA while I'm there working out. These sessions are informal but focused, allowing me to share my knowledge and passion for basketball with young athletes.
Best coach I ever had:
Brandon Smith was the best coach I ever had because he was incredibly passionate and always held me accountable. He never let me give up, even when frustration tried to get in the way. Coach Smith had a unique ability to see potential in his players and pushed us to exceed our limits. His dedication to the game and to our development as athletes and individuals left a lasting impact on me. He taught me the value of perseverance and hard work, and his unwavering belief in my abilities helped shape me into the player and person I am today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I am respectful, well-rounded, and professional. I bring a balanced approach to training, focusing not just on physical skills but also on mental toughness and sportsmanship. My goal is to help athletes reach their full potential while maintaining a positive and encouraging environment.

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 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.
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!
