About Me:
I play college football at Western New England University. My primary position has been cornerback, while having a lot of experience at safety as well through my 3 years in college. In high school, I was the team captain at Wethersfield High School. Through college, I was a 2x Conference Rookie of the week and was just awarded 1st team all CNE this past year.
How I can help you improve your game:
I will focus on footwork, your overall technique, breaks, agility, ball skills, and the mental side of being a DB, while making sure each session is focused on the athlete and what their specific needs are.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Sessions will usually last around 1 hour, starting with a warm up, priming the feet, and working drills around the athletes needs for around 35-40 minutes.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I'm a student athlete at Western New England University, where I have trained teammates in the film room and on the field. I haven't had much experience coaching, but I have helped many of my teammates out, getting better physically and mentally.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Forcucci, my defensive coordinator and db coach for 3 years at Western New England. He has so much knowledge and helped me grow so much as a player and a person through his focus and attention to detail
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have worked a full time job for the past 4 years, but I am looking to focus my attention on coaching and helping athletes grow, as I will be helping out a high school football team as the DB coach as well. I am passionate about the defensive back position and pushing athletes to get uncomfortable, because that's how you grow!

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?
