About Me:
From Bertie, NC, I attended Bertie High School, where my passion for sports flourished in football, basketball, and track & field.
Earning a scholarship, I played defensive back at Saint Augustine’s University, excelling as a leader and team captain, while maintaining academic excellence with a 3.2 GPA in sports management. Continuing my education at North Carolina Central University, I earned a master's in Kinesiology and Recreation. My journey reflects a dedication to excellence in athletics and academics, and I'm eager to inspire others on their paths to success.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help improve an athletes overall performance by helping them improve mentally, and physically. I’m going to help improve their game by giving them the tools they need to succeed. My athletes are going to be faster, stronger, and smarter than everybody else on the playing field.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
The training session will always start with dynamic stretching. Which would roll into a warmup, then we would get into the main training session. Addition to that, we would work on speed and agility training, ending in a cool down.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Defensive Back Coach & Strength and Speed Coach - Bertie High school for (2 years) Assistant Coach Saint Augustine’s University (1 year) YMCA Recreation all ages (5 years)
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I’ve ever had I would say would be my dad. Because he developed me, mentally and physically, and challenged me to be great all the time. Which helped mold me into the man I am today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m a very hardworking person, that never settle for anything less than the best. I’m going to challenge the athletes to be the best athlete they can be, and help them to be better and more explosive in their field of sports. I love what I do, and I love to work and help develop these future stars.

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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
