About Me:
I’m a Los Angeles–based basketball coach and professional team owner with a passion for developing players at every level. As the owner of the Phuket Panthers in the TEBA League (Thailand), I bring real pro-level experience and insight into what it takes to compete and succeed overseas.
I’ve worked with athletes of all ages, focusing on building high-IQ players who understand the game, not just play it. My training emphasizes skill development, game reads, conditioning, and confidence—so you’re prepared to perform when it matters most. Whether you’re just starting out, trying to make your school team, or chasing a college or pro opportunity, I tailor each session to help you reach your goals.
If you’re ready to be pushed, improve fast, and take your game seriously, I’m here to help you get to the next level.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help you improve your game by focusing on what actually translates to real performance, skill, IQ, and confidence. I break down your strengths and weaknesses, then build a plan to tighten your handle, improve your shot consistency, and develop your scoring and decision-making. I teach you how to read defenses, play at different speeds, and make winning plays, not just look good in drills. Every session is game-like, intense, and tailored to your goals, so whether you’re trying to make a team or reach the next level, you’ll see real results.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me is structured, intense, and focused on real game improvement. We start with a quick warm-up and ball-handling to get you ready, then move into skill development where we work on shooting, finishing, and position-specific moves. From there, we apply everything in game-like situations to build your decision-making and confidence under pressure. We finish with conditioning and competitive drills to push your stamina and toughness, followed by quick feedback so you know exactly what to improve. Every session is tailored to your goals so you leave better each time.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Owner of the Phuket Panthers (TEBA League, Thailand), leading player recruitment, hosting tryouts, and building the roster for the upcoming professional season. Background includes training at the Mamba Sports Academy, working with Kobe Bryant, and coaching at the professional level overseas.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Kobe Bryant. He really understood the game.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I’m serious about development and results. I bring a professional-level approach to every session, focusing on discipline, accountability, and building habits that translate into real game performance. I hold players to a high standard, but I also create an environment where they can grow with confidence and clarity. Communication is important to me, I make sure both athletes and parents understand the goals, progress, and areas for improvement. My focus is not just on getting better in workouts, but helping players build the mindset and consistency needed 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.
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.
Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.
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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
