TRANSCEND NEW LEVELS THROUGH FUNDAMENTAL LACROSSE DEVELOPMENT
Lacrosse has been a defining part of my life for years, shaping not only my skills on the field but also my discipline, leadership, and competitive mindset. Through years of playing and coaching, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the game and a passion for helping athletes of all ages unlock their full potential. My goal is to use the lessons and techniques that have helped elevate my own performance to guide players toward unlocking new levels of confidence, skill and success. Lacrosse has given me incredible opportunities, and I’m committed to helping the next generation use the fastest game on two feet to elevate themselves both on and off the field.

About Me:
I AM A LACROSSE MOM, A DOG LOVER AND A WOMENS AND GIRLS LACROSSE COACH!

I BELIEVE YOU TRAIN HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME - I BRING A DEPTH OF PLAYING EXPERIENCE, STRATEGIC KNOWLEDGE AND A PASSION FOR DEVELOPING ATHLETES THAT TRANSLATES DIRECTLY INTO MEASURABLE OUTCOMES AND IMPROVEMENT ON THE FIELD.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A TYPICAL LACROSSE TRAING SESSION WITH ME S DESIGNED TO BE FAST-PACED, PURPOSEFUL AND TAILORED TO THE MY ATHLETE'S POSITION, SKILL LEVEL AND GOALS. EACH SEGMENT BUILDS ON THE LAST SO PLAYERS DEVELOP BOTH TECHNICAL SKILL AND GAME INTELLIGENCE. EACH SESSION CONSISTS OF DYNAMIC WARM-UPS AND FOOTWORK, STICK SKILLS AND BALL CONTROL, POSITION-SPECIFIC SKILL DEVELOPMENT, LACROSSE IQ AND DECISION-MAKING, COMPETITIVE GAME DRILLS AND REVIEW/TAKEAWAYS.

Best coach I ever had:
THE BEST LACROSSE COACH I EVER HAD WAS MY COLLEGE COACH AT MANHATTAN AS A JASPER. SHE SET THE STANDARD FOR WHAT GREAT COACHING LOOKS LIKE, COMBINING KNOWLEDGE OF THE GAME WITH THE ABILITY TO MOTIVATE, TEACH AND TRULY CONNECT WITH OUR TEAM. THE DISCIPLINE, ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND LOVE FOR THE GAME SHE INSTILLED IN US, ARE PRINCIPLES I CARRY FORWARD TODAY WHEN I TRAIN AND MENTOR MY ATHLETES.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I BRING A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME, YEARS OF PLAYING AND COACHING EXPERIENCE AND A GENUINE COMMITMENT TO HELPING EVERY ATHLETE REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. PARENTS CAN TRUST THAT MY APPROACH PRIORITIZES NOT ONLY ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT BUT ALSO CHARACTER, DISCIPLINE AND RESPECT FOR THE GAME. I EMPHASIZE ACCOUNTABILITY, TEAMWORK AND PREPARATION SO ATHLETES DEVELOP HABITS THAT BENEFIT THEM BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD. ATHLETES WHO TRAIN WITH ME CAN EXPECT DETAILED INSTRUCTION, HIGH-ENERGY SESSIONS AND HONEST FEEDBACK THAT HELPS THEM IMPROVE QUICKLY TO THE NEXT LEVEL. MY GOAL IS TO HELP PLAYERS BECOME SMARTER, MORE SKILLED AND MORE CONFIDENT LACROSSE PLAYERS WHILE FOSTERING A TRUE PASSION FOR THE GAME.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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!
