About Me:
I am a Student athlete at UNC Charlotte studying mechanical engineering. I am a rising junior in love with track & field, and I have been running since elementary school. I like reading, playing games, spending time with friends, fishing, and art.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve by using a mechanical approach to the long jump. Because I study mechanical engineering and compete as a D1 jumper at UNC Charlotte, I don't just teach the 'how,' but also the 'why' behind every movement. We will focus on optimizing your approach speed, mastering the physics of your takeoff to get more lift, and using efficient landing mechanics to maximize your distance. My goal is to use data-driven drills to turn complex movements into simple habits, helping you jump further and build confidence in the pit.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
In a typical training session, I would start with a solid warmup followed by sprint drills. In my experience, a solid warm-up is the most critical foundation for a safe and successful practice. Then, we would do a couple of approaches followed by short approach jumps. These could have several different variations. After that, we would finish up with sprint work. These include flying 10s/15s, 30 m sprints, and 30 m sleds. Then, we can end with some static stretching.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Apex Friendship High School (4A): 2x SWAC long jump champion, Regional Champion, 4th place State finish, 5th place State finish, school record holder
UNC Charlotte (D1): 6th place finish American Conference, #7 All-Time outdoor long jump
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I have ever had is my current college coach. He has been the head coach at Charlotte for 27 years, and he is by far the most distinguished coach the university has ever had. He is a great person and is very understanding. He is probably the best track coach Mecklenburg County has ever seen. I bet I could argue the best in North Carolina.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a kind and smart person who can communicate well. I love problem-solving and helping others. I am looking forward to giving back to the game and helping out the younger generation. In the future, I hope I can be a jump coach to develop athletes. My ultimate goal is to give back to the sport by helping improve track facilities for communities across the country.

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!
