Play better, compete with confidence and love the game!
I have competed at a high level including reaching top 15 in the country on club teams, being a 6 rotation outside hitter at the Division 1 level and earning leadership roles on majority of my teams! Now, my goal related to volleyball is to assist athletes in reaching their potential on and off the court in a positive and encouraging environment. I focus on building off of and maintaining strong fundamentals, confidence, and game IQ while making sure players continue to truly enjoy the sport! My goal is not just to help develop better volleyball players and teammates, but to allow athletes to create a lasting love for the game!
How I can help you improve
With a background as an outside hitter who has played all the way around, I will cover every skill, ranging from technical improvements to creating a better court IQ, all tailored to each individual athlete and their strengths and weaknesses!
A typical training session
We will go over strengths and weaknesses, addressing both with 1 on 1 time to develop new skills and build off of the basics mentally and technically.
In person: I will stop and give feedback frequently while also maximizing the time and court space we have to get as many reps as possible related to your needs. This will all be tailored to the individual to improve areas that need growth, as well as learn new skills to up their game.
Virtual: We will go over any challenges you are facing, areas of success, and how to go about them from the mental side of the game. I am also happy to review film and give quality feedback/next steps to improve on the technical aspect of the game. I believe confidence is a skill that can be trained. We'll work on overcoming mistakes, staying positive, handling pressure, and building the mindset needed to compete at your best.

Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was my 17s year club coach, he pushed all of us to be the best TEAM we could be. He was tough on us, but at the end of the day, he made me a better competitor and helped me love the game more than I ever had! I knew he truly cared for us at the end of the day and wanted us to reach our full potential.
What athletes & parents should know
I have had coaches along the years who have built me up and have also had some that have broken me down. I want to be someone to your athlete that will help build them up, yes as a player, but also to maintain that confidence and belief in themselves off the court as well! I will work hard to develop your child into the best player and person they can be with my limited time with them, with the motivation of truly wanting them to succeed!

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!
