Developing confident, skilled, and mentally strong athletes—on and off the court
I specialize in helping athletes improve their technical volleyball and basketball skills while also building confidence, discipline, and game IQ. What makes my training different is that I combine skill development with sports psychology principles and strength-based performance training, so athletes grow both physically and mentally. My goal is to help athletes become more confident, competitive, and prepared for the next level.

About Me:
Hi, I’m Alyssen. I’m a former collegiate volleyball and basketball athlete with over 14 years of competitive experience and current coaching experience developing youth athletes. I’ve taken losing programs and have helped flipped them into winning programs.
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus heavily on a players foundational skills. With a solid foundation physically and mentally I find athletes are able to develop more advanced skills and concepts easier with a higher level of confidence.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
The first visit is always slower, more personalized where I find out the athletes goals (short term and long term), and a bit about their experiences. Following that, a personalized program is made specifically towards them and their goals.
Career summary and accomplishments:
First Team All-Conference Player (Basketball, Volleyball, and Track)
All-Conference Honorable Mention (Basketball)
Four Year Varsity Athlete (Volleyball and Track)
Two Year Varsity Athlete (Basketball *didn’t have a varsity program to tryout for my freshman nor sophomore year*)
Collegiate Basketball & Volleyball Player
HS Varsity Volleyball Coach
Took 0-16 Team to a winning record of 11-7 in a more competitive league
Best coach I ever had:
My best coach I ever had coached a we>me concept and a stronger together concept. I think through those mottos, they coached us to be selfless with one another. Emphasizing the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m super bubbly, can have a good time, but will push you to become the best version of yourself. A lot of my athletes I work with will say I’m their favorite coach, but I also push them outside their comfort zones. I’m super flexible and am very understanding to situations. I believe in equal opportunity so as long as you’re willing to put the work, I am too.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
