I have some small success in the basketball world. I started in the YMCA leagues as a child to eventually play in the local semi-pro American Basketball Association team in Concord, California for one season. The Contra Costa County Delta Stars. I have played in the local Japanese leagues for one year in middle school where we won the championship. I sunk two free throws in the championship game to seal the victory. In high school, I was able to play one year of junior varsity where I made All League honors and co-MVP for my own team. I’ve always stuck around basketball since elementary because I have a passion for it. I will help bring the best out of you as a player. It won’t be easy, but you will come out stronger and better than you ever imagined.

I work on developing their foundations so that they can become an exceptional player. Strong foundations lead to skillful players. And learning good defense is more important than offense.
It will include physical conditioning, skill development, drills, and practicing form and repetition.
I’ve coached at the local middle level for girls and in the local youth YMCA leagues. I also coached during some practices for my semi-professional team. I enjoy coaching as much as playing. It is another way to give back to the game and community.
The best coaches are able to be clear and also lead the way. They have the experiences and willingness to share their knowledge and expertise. They know that it is about more than just practice but academics and all-around excellence.
I’m someone who seeks excellence on the basketball court. I will push all towards that goal so that they can enjoy the taste of success and contribute their talents and abilities to the game. I push myself to be the best that I can be and I am willing to go beyond the ordinary in order to become extraordinary.

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.
