Get to know Coach Warren
About Me:
I'm Coach Warren. My passion is helping young athletes build confidence, develop strong fundamentals, and learn the habits needed to succeed both on and off the court. I believe in creating a positive, high-energy environment where players are challenged to work hard, adapt to adversity, and continuously improve. My focus is not just developing better basketball players, but helping young athletes become disciplined, accountable leaders.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help players improve their ball handling, shooting, footwork, defense, basketball IQ, and overall confidence. Every athlete receives instruction tailored to their skill level and goals. Whether you're looking to make the school team, earn more playing time, prepare for AAU basketball, or simply become a more complete player, I'll provide the drills, coaching, and accountability needed to help you reach the next level.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each session begins with dynamic warmups and footwork development. We then focus on ball handling, shooting mechanics, finishing at the rim, defensive fundamentals, and game-specific skill work. Players will compete in drills that simulate real game situations while emphasizing effort, communication, and decision-making. Every session ends with competitive challenges and a review of key areas for improvement.

Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was someone who cared about me as a person first and an athlete second. He held me accountable, pushed me to be my best, and taught me that effort, attitude, and discipline matter just as much as talent. I've carried those lessons into my own coaching philosophy and strive to provide that same positive impact for every athlete I work with.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I believe in creating a positive, encouraging, and challenging environment where athletes can grow both on and off the court. My goal is to help players build confidence, improve their skills, and develop the work ethic needed to succeed in basketball and life. I emphasize fundamentals, accountability, sportsmanship, and consistent effort. Parents can expect clear communication, professionalism, and a coach who genuinely cares about their child's development and success.

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!
