Are you an athlete just getting into track and field and looking to find your niche? Or are you a more experienced athlete looking to refine your skills? Either way, I think I can be the coach for you! In my 11 years of cross country/track and field experience, I have run every event from the 100m all the way to the 5k. I have earned collegiate school records in the cross country 5k, 1500m and DMR, SMR, 4x400 and 4x800m relays. I also have minor experience with javelin and triple jump, though my skills in running events are much stronger. Through my many years in the sport and experience with all disciplines of running (sprints, middle distance, and distance) I offer a unique coaching experience where I can use my knowledge and first-hand experience to help find your sweet spot and develop your skills in it! My main strengths as an athlete are my dynamic starts, strong pacing and muscle memory, finishing kicks, and relay racing strategy. My strongest event group is middle distance (400-1500/mile). As your coach, I bring to the table strong skills in weakness recognition and form correction. In terms of workouts, I like to focus on hill work and aerobic/anaerobic focused track workouts. Additionally, I will recommend additional work you can do outside of sessions including weekly mileage, recovery day routines, and supplemental lifting (NOTE: I am not a strength and conditioning coach, any lifting advice is simply what has worked for me). When starting work with an athlete, I would like to find out your goals and expectations and run some testing to determine a baseline. From there, we'll tailor a plan to chase those goals, capitalize on your strengths and mitigate your weaknesses. I look forward to hearing from you!

Get to know Coach Benjamin
About Me:
I have recently graduated from Regis College with a B.S. in Biology. I’m also pursuing a Masters in Biology. When I’m not studying, odds are I’m exercising! I still plan to compete post collegiately, so I continue to train both on the track and in the weight room; I won’t be preaching anything I don’t currently practice!
It’s not all work for me though, other hobbies of mine include reading comics books and drawing!
How I can help you improve your game:
I plan to teach you some of the often overlooked aspects of the sport and identify and tackle your weaknesses. I believe this approach will maximize improvement in all athletes, regardless of talent.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We’ll start with a comprehensive warm up to get you ready for whatever our workout plan is for the day. We’ll also fit in some tech work and skill refining drills as needed. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a cooldown and maybe some core!
Career summary and accomplishments:
In high school, I qualified for the outdoor state championship once in the 800m. In college, I was a 3 time Cross Country MVP, and multiple time all conference award winner for cross country and track. I hold 5 school records and was even awarded Outstanding Athlete of the Year out of my entire class freshman year.
Best coach I ever had:
In all my years, my favorite coach was my high school indoor track coach. While he was energetic and fun, he wasn't afraid to challenge his athletes. The more dedicated you were as an athlete, the better relationship you would have with him. I plan to provide a similar experience for my athletes.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I strongly believe in all the training I prescribe to my athletes; I do not believe in fruitless labor. Belief isn't always enough though. If you have any doubts about what we're doing, please ask! Everything we do will be designed with intention. If I can't explain why we're doing it, we won't do it again.

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!
