Get to know Coach Abby
About Me:
I played many sports growing up (gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, soccer, and curling). I grew a love for sports as a whole and started watching play them and even started watching them on tv and expanded my knowledge on numerous sports I was not familiar with at the time. I knew in high school that I wanted to have a career that was in the sports field and focused my masters studies on sports psychology.
How I can help you improve your game:
I take an individualized approach to each athlete that helps them improve their game by providing mental skills to them that are specific to their needs and situation. I am able to help them through the mental challenges they may be facing that are affecting their performance. Some examples of skills I can provide are: confidence, motivation, managing failure, goal setting, imagery, self-talk, mindfulness, transfer of energy and emotional regulation.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session starts with the athlete talking about what they are going through and how they are performing. The athlete does not need to come "prepared", I will be asking them questions that will guide the conversation and lead the session. From there I will discuss relevant mental skills that I feel would benefit their performance. Each athlete will be leaving the session with at least one mental skill that they can implement and a follow up would be the next step to see if that skill worked and if not, taking a different route and trying a new mental skill until we find one that works and benefits the athlete.
Career summary and accomplishments:
As a mental performance coach, I have worked with many different populations including collegiate athletes, professional athletes, competitive athletes, and recreational athletes of all different ages in both individual and group settings.
Best coach I ever had:
My weight lifting coaching has been the best coach I have because she is always in a good mood and gives good energy that I can see in athletes I work with and am able to provide them the same good energy she gives me. She pushes me and sees my full potential and this is something I have carried on to my athletes. She is very encouraging, motivating and always reminds me how far I have come and I make sure to do the same in my work as well.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have a Master's degree in Sports Psychology and Rehabilitation Sciences. I have experience with collegiate and professional athletes and am looking forward to helping athletes with their performance one mental skill at a 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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
