About Me:
University of Illinois Defensive Back Captain
How I can help you improve your game:
With a strong background as a former college football player and experienced coach, I excel in creating personalized improvement plans tailored to each athlete's strengths and areas for development. I carefully assess their performance, establish clear goals, and design progressive strategies to enhance their skills and physical fitness.
In sessions, I focus on teaching proper techniques, providing constructive feedback, and correcting form to maximize efficiency and reduce injury risks. By analyzing game and training footage, I identify areas for refinement, offering detailed yet simple explanations to ensure concepts are easily understood and implemented.
I value adaptability, adjusting plans based on progress and feedback to keep athletes on track and motivated. My approach simplifies complex ideas, making them actionable and meaningful to athletes at any level, empowering them to achieve consistent and measurable improvement
What a typical training session looks like with me:
In each training session, you can expect a structured and high-energy approach designed to maximize performance. We will start with a dynamic warm-up to prepare your body for the demands of the session and reduce injury risk. From there, we’ll focus on technique-sound movements specific to your position, ensuring you master the fundamentals and develop precision in your execution.
We’ll also incorporate situational periods where you’ll be challenged to apply your skills in game-like scenarios, enhancing your decision-making and performance under pressure. The intensity will remain high throughout the session, pushing you to compete at your best while building endurance and resilience. Each session is designed to be both challenging and rewarding, keeping your growth and success at the forefront.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I bring extensive coaching experience across various levels, including serving as a youth football program director with Penn State Athletics and a Playball youth instructor. As a former college football player (Defensive Back), I leverage my firsthand knowledge of the game to develop athletes’ skills, teamwork, and performance. My roles as a personal trainer at Premier Fitness and group fitness instructor at Reconstructed by Sam further highlight my ability to create personalized and effective training programs tailored to athletes' unique needs
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my position coach, Tim Banks, who is now the defensive coordinator for Tennessee. Coach Banks didn’t just teach the game at an elite level—he provided me with tools and lessons that have helped me thrive far beyond the field
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I want every athlete I train to walk away knowing that Coach Vontay believed in them even when they doubted themselves. With me, giving up isn’t an option—because it’s not just about avoiding failure; it’s about pushing past limits and putting your absolute best foot forward every single time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
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.
How do I book lessons?
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.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
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!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
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.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
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.
When is the coach available to train?
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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
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.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
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.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
