Who We Are
Academic and Athletic Sports Consulting (AASC) was founded in 2016 by former NCAA collegiate athlete, coach, trainer, scout, and lifelong student of the sports industry, James Shettleworth. He has over 20 years of experience in collegiate and scholastic athletics including:
- Veteran's Camp (aka NBA's G-League)
- Overseas Professional Touring Team
- Basketball Coach at Collegiate & Scholastic Levels
- NBA's Denver Nuggets Camp
- Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
- Athletic Academic Advising
- College Professor
- Student Recruiter
Coach Shettleworth is committed to providing each student-athlete with a personalized recruiting strategy and player development plan to make you the best player you can be.
Not only did my son’s basketball skills and athleticism improve, I saw a major increase in his confidence level. As a parent, the later was equally important to me. Even as my son pursues his dream in College he values James input and guidance. James also has never hesitated to be a source of support for my kid. He has become a mentor and role model and for that I am thankful.

I would like to provide great feedback on James Shettleworth in his excellent Basketball and Academic coaching for my son Kamrin Vincel. This year he is up 8 points per game from last year, and currently averages 25 points and 12 rebounds. Kamrin is one of the top rated players in the state of Colorado (5A states largest division) at the moment. James demonstrates excellent work ethic and coaching on both Basketball and Academic advising!
Kevin Vincel, Parent of Prarie View Athlete
Going through Player Development that me and Coach Shettleworth did made the transition from High School and AAU to College Basketball a much easier process. Working on game moves and situations gave me more confidence in practices and games when I was competing against older College players. His player development program definitely prepared me for playing at the Collegiate level. I highly recommend Coach Shettleworth for anyone looking to take their game to the next level.
