About LujensCoach Lu is a basketball trainer passionate about developing players from the ground up, with a focus on building strong fundamentals that translate into real game performance. With over a decade of playing experience, including starting at point guard as a varsity freshman and the versatility to play all five positions on the floor, Coach Lu transitioned into coaching with a belief that every player—regardless of starting skill level—can improve dramatically with the right instruction, repetition, and mindset.
Coach Lu's training philosophy centers on three pillars: fundamentals first, individualized development, and building confidence alongside skill. Sessions blend proven skill-building progressions—ball-handling, shooting mechanics, footwork, and basketball IQ—with situational drills that prepare players for real game speed and decision-making.
Currently working with players ranging from beginners to competitive youth athletes, Coach Lu emphasizes patience and clear communication, breaking down complex movements into simple, repeatable steps. Known for creating a positive, high-energy training environment, he believes that a player's love for the game is just as important as their technical growth. His own background as a starting point guard who could play any position gives him a unique feel for how each role sees the game, which shows up in how he teaches spacing, decision-making, and versatility to his students.
Coach Lu is continuing to expand his coaching education through [certifications, mentorships, camps, or clinics] and is committed to growing alongside every athlete he trains.Go to profileLujens M.From $220 per lesson

About ChrisFor over 15 years, the soulful melodies of the saxophone have been my musical voice. My journey began at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where I delved into Jazz Studies, honing my skills and deepening my understanding of this captivating genre. In addition to playing, I have dedicated 5 years to private teaching, sharing my passion and knowledge with eager learners.
Through the years, I've had the privilege to play and arrange music for an array of incredible artists including Becca Stevens, Alexa Tarentino, Camille Thurman, The Four Tops, and Reliably Bad. My saxophone has resonated in harmony with various orchestras, leaving a musical imprint wherever I go. Music isn't just a part of me; it's a journey that I continue to embrace, enriching lives with the beautiful strains of the saxophone.Go to profileChris P.From $120 per lesson
