I was a small point guard and knew that if I wanted to be good I had to standout despite my size. I had to work for everything I got. I'm not tall and not athletic, but my drive and work ethic got me to where I am now. I'm passionate about basketball and know I can develop your skills in due time.

By being available to put in the work and knowing that whatever needs improvement must be repped out. There are going to be many times where players feel uncomfortable and not confident practicing newer skills. This is why repetition is important because as you rep out the move more, it slowly becomes smoother and you slowly gain more confidence. During this process, I continuously encourage and motivate the kids to keep going.
This depends on the player and the skills that they're trying to develop. If a player needs all-around skills worked on, then a session would include form shooting into shooting with footwork, ball handling, passing, and finishing drills. I also like to incorporate shooting free throws throughout the session.
Because I'm freshly retired from playing basketball, I don't have a lot of coaching experience. I volunteered at my old JUCO to be on their staff to see if coaching was something that I could get into. I enjoyed it and here I am now continuing to pursue coaching.
George Albanez was my AAU coach growing up from 12-17 years old. He became a mentor and inspired me to play college basketball. I still talk to and train with him to this day.
The entire Moorpark College staff was amazing to me. I had 4 coaches and each one of them played an integral part of my basketball journey. Whether it was instilling confidence in me, taking the time outside of practices to train/workout, drive me to and from practice, and they were always honest with me about my game and what I needed to do to be better.
I love basketball it's my passion. I am dedicated and excited to help kids build their confidence and develop their skills.

Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
