More About Coach Andy
I have trained/coached in many basketball camps. I was raised in NYC the “Mecca of Basketball” where basketball is a lifestyle. Throughout my time as a basketball player I’ve been able to help educate kids on how sports can help guide them in life while using tools such as discipline and hard work as a driving force.
I have played basketball for 25+ years. I have experience at the high school, college, and professional level. I Graduated from NCAA Division 1 Eastern Washington University in 2009, where i was on a full athletic basketball scholarship and a part of the teams starting 5. I was fortunate to play basketball professionally in South America (Mexico, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic) for a few years up until 2012 and then I went back to school for my 2nd degree (BSN in Nursing). I am currently a registered nurse for 8 years.
My goal is not only to train physically but to educate. Educate a player on the foundation of basketball and what it takes to play at whatever level they’ve set their goals to. It takes a lot of training physically but also training mentally to achieve desired goals. I teach the details, I teach scenarios. Anyone can set out cones and run drills but a true trainer has to have playing experience in order to teach.

Jesse (CoachUp client)
My kids play other sports, but they are brand new to basketball and need skill development. They just had their first training with Andy. He did an excellent job assessing them and providing drills that would be valuable for both, despite their four year age gap and significant size difference. The training was challenging yet still a lot of fun. Both kids really enjoyed it. He gave them lots of individual feedback throughout the session. Their form and handling had clearly improved from the start of the session to the end. Very impressed! They’ll definitely be training with Andy again to keep the accelerated progress up!
Suzanne (CoachUp client)
Wow! Coach Andy was fantastic. He worked for an hour on absolutely everything with my son. He’s encouraging, shares his experience in basketball and life, and truly loves what he does. He taught him some guard skill that a center needs.
Jenny (CoachUp client)
Andy is a fantastic coach! Charlie is making huge gains after only one lesson, and we’re excited to see how far he can go with Andy’s help.
Asad (CoachUp client)
Awesome coach. I met him for my 15 years old son. Andy is very kind, talented and shared great helpful techniques.His teaching style is easy to follow.I’ll definitely recommend him to anyone who’s interested in learning more about basketball. I’m glad we found him.
Annette (CoachUp client)
Great coach!
Jennifer (CoachUp client)
My 11 year old son had a great first lesson with Coach Andy! He is thoughtful and is looking at giving him a foundation of skill sets so he can improve his game overall.
Zaheer (CoachUp client)
Andy knows his stuff! I’m 30 years old trying to join a corporate league. Even though I love playing basketball I’ve unfortunate never played structured ball nor have I developed any fundamentals. Andy has taken the time to explain all the basics, reasoning behind it, and how to improve. He is very patient and versatile in his teaching methods, tailoring each lesson to my skill level. Definitely would recommend and will be booking more sessions.
Mike (CoachUp client)
Only one session in but I was very impressed with coach Andy. My 12 year old son is a diehard basketball player who plays on multiple teams and attends many camps. He was looking for something more that would be more individual to help take his game to the next level. After many months of finding someone to help achieve these goals we found coach Andy! Only one session in but we are confident that coach Andy can help with achieving his goals. His training techniques are fantastic and his positive but tough attitude with my son is exactly the type of feedback he needs. We are looking forward to seeing Sheppard excel in basketball after more sessions with coach Andy.
Georgina (CoachUp client)
My son is so happy to be taking basketball lessons with coach Andy. He has helped build up his confidence, encourages a positive attitude and his performance level has enhanced a great deal. I highly recommend him!!!
Sabrina (CoachUp client)
Coach Andy is a great coach! He trained my husband and I together which was a treat and met us at our level despite the fact that neither of us have ever been formally coached in basketball, so we are both relatively new. He gave really good feedback and helped us identify our problem areas and also how to fix them. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!
Stephanie (CoachUp client)
Within the first 20 minutes of my son’s first session with Coach Andy - you could see my son’s confidence rally. I was not prepared to see such an improvement in just one session. Coach Andy was able to get on my son’s level and really connect with him. He was able to pick out his strengths and weaknesses in just a short amount of time and really tailored the session based off his assessment. My son and I were very pleased! We booked several more sessions almost immediately after our first. Im so excited to continue to see the improvements my son makes now that he’s working with Coach Andy.
Tyreef (CoachUp client)
We had a great first session with Coach Andy. Coach Andy made my son feel really comfortable and confident. My son is excited and can't wait for his next session. Thanks again.
Erick (CoachUp client)
My son just had his first training session with Coach Andy and I am already very impressed with the way he explains everything to him. You can tell his years of high-level experience transfers over to coaching perfectly. It's only been one session and I already feel like I can see improvement in ball handling and confidence. I believe Andy is well-suited to coach all levels of players and positions. We are super happy to have found him on this website and absolutely will be suggesting him to other members in the community.
Emmy (CoachUp client)

Improve very quickly. We are very excited to continue working with him.
