Building safer spaces & stronger minds
I know firsthand that being a great athlete is about so much more than physical ability. I’ve been in the pressure, the doubt, the highs, and the hard days and I want to help athletes navigate all of it. I help athletes build confidence, handle pressure, improve focus, bounce back from mistakes, and become mentally stronger. My goal is to make mental performance practical, relatable, and something athletes can actually use. Whether your athlete is chasing a big goal, struggling with confidence, or simply wants to get better, I’m here to help them become the best athlete and person they can be.
How I can help you improve
I can help you become the athlete who stays confident when things get hard. We’ll work on the mental side of your game—building confidence, improving focus, managing nerves and pressure, bouncing back from mistakes, and developing routines that help you perform at your best. My goal isn’t to change who you are as an athlete, but to give you practical tools that help you trust yourself, play freely, and perform with confidence when it matters most.
A typical training session
Every session is different because every athlete is different! We’ll start by checking in on how things are going and what you want to work on. From there, we’ll focus on one or two mental skills—like confidence, focus, self-talk, handling pressure, or routines—and make them practical to your sport. Sessions are conversational, interactive, and judgment-free, with simple tools you can take straight into your next practice or game.
Career & accomplishments
I’m a mental performance coach, social worker, and lifelong athlete with a background in competitive soccer, coaching, mental health, performance psychology, and sport social work. I hold a Master’s of Social Work from The Ohio State University, am a Certified Social Worker in Kentucky, and have earned my U.S. Soccer D and C Licenses. I currently work in collegiate soccer as an DII Soccer Coach and sport social work research, while helping athletes develop the mental skills to perform and thrive. I’ve also been recognized as a regional recipient of the ESPN Billie Jean King Youth Leadership Award for my work with young athletes.

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!
