A player turned coach using sports science and real data to level you up.
Most training programs just tire an athlete out with random drills—my focus is making sure your athlete is noticeably faster, stronger, and more confident when it actually counts on game day. Having lived the game as a player, a team coach, and a sports performance coach, I know how to design workouts that directly transfer to real competition without risking burnout or injury. I eliminate the guesswork by using precise speed timing and strength-tracking tools to measure real progress every step of the way, giving your athlete clear, objective proof that their hard work is paying off. If you are looking for an encouraging, highly accountable coach who will challenge your child to raise their standard and truly dominate their sport, let’s get to work.
How I can help you improve
My goal is simple: make you visibly faster, more explosive, and harder to play against on game day. Instead of running random drills that just leave you tired, we track your exact sprint times, jump heights, and bar speeds so you see objective proof of your progress every week. We target first-step acceleration, top-end speed, and sharp changes of direction so those physical gains carry directly over to competition. You will build the strength and durability needed to stay healthy across a demanding season while gaining the confidence that comes with knowing you put in the work.
A typical training session
Every session begins with dynamic movement prep and targeted speed mechanics to prime your body to move fast and clean. From there, we move into timed acceleration, top-speed sprints, and change-of-direction work where timing gates give you immediate feedback on every run. Next, we transition into explosive power and strength work, using sensors on the bar and jump tests to ensure you are moving with intent and quality rather than just lifting heavy. We finish with focused durability work and recovery habits so you walk off the turf better prepared for your next practice or game.
Career & accomplishments
Over my career, I have coached athletes across youth, high school, and competitive club levels while leading fitness teams and personal training programs at regional and national scales. My early success came from using body composition metrics to deliver consistent, life-changing physical transformations for everyday personal training clients. That obsession with accountability drove me to earn advanced graduate degrees in sports performance and integrate modern athletic tracking tools into daily speed and strength development. Today, I actively develop youth and high school players, combining sports medicine principles, speed credentials, and live performance metrics to build complete athletes.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was my college soccer coach at Neumann University, Kevin Sloan. He challenged me harder than anyone else, demanding absolute accountability and raising my standard for what true preparation looked like. The competitive environment he built made it effortless for every player to buy in, hold each other accountable, and fight for the team. That experience shaped how I run my own training today: creating an intense, positive culture where athletes are pushed past their comfort zones and love every second of the grind.
What athletes & parents should know
I approach athletic development from three distinct angles: I was a player first, then a team coach, and now a sports performance coach. Because I have lived every side of that journey, I understand the tactical demands of the game, the emotional pressure on young athletes, and the trust parents place in someone to keep their child healthy. I do not run exhausting workouts just to show a sweat; I build durable, fast movers using objective measurements to ensure your athlete is truly advancing. Most importantly, I treat every athlete as a whole person, building their confidence, mindset, and work ethic alongside their speed.

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.

Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?

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!
