Strength-first coach building stronger, explosive, more resilient athletes

I'm a CSCS-certified Strength & Conditioning Coach with internship experience at Notre Dame and Indiana University and coaching experience at the NAIA and high school levels. I build strength-first programs rooted in the belief that strength is the foundation of everything an athlete does. My coaching is direct, encouraging, and results-driven — I meet athletes where they are and motivate them to work hard and learn life-long training habits.

About Me:

As a former competitive athlete with experience training elite high school, collegiate, and professional athletes, I bring a deep understanding of what it takes to perform at a high level. I am passionate about the process — developing sound movement, purposeful programming, and a culture of hard work in every session. My approach is straightforward: we are here to get stronger, and we will do it with intention, good technique, and a lot of effort.

How I can help you improve your game:

Intensity and intent are the greatest drivers of adaptation. Regardless of if your goal is strength, power, speed, or muscle hypertrophy, every session is built around purposeful, high-effort training. I take a science-based approach grounded in research and practical application to ensure every athlete is making measurable, sustainable progress.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

~45mins

- High-intensity weight training with variety of exercises

- Power/explosive movements first

- Strength/accessory movements second

- Relationship-building & talking between sets

- Emphasis towards YOUR goals (we'll work on what you want to improve, strength, power/speed, muscle size)

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.

Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.

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.

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!
