About Me:
Started playing volleyball in High School in Arizona and made it to State Playoffs both junior and seniors years. I also joined a club where we traveled all around the West Coast for tournaments and Nationals. I then joined Arizona State University's club team where I had the opportunity to play against some notable Division I teams such as UCLA, Long Beach State, and Pepperdine.
Since then I've played in various tournaments whether it's Beach, Grass, or Indoor.
How I can help you improve your game:
Like most sports, understanding and mastering the mechanics and footwork are key to any improvement! Once those are recognized and practiced, different facets of the game can be introduced.
Depending on your skill level, we'll spend the time necessary to be comfortable in every situation of the game first, and then move on to more tactical situations.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Ever session starts with a proper warm up, which is usually some light stretching, "peppering", and footwork.
After that, we'll attack the basics to assess skill levels for serving, passing, setting, and hitting. Once that is done, there's a wide range of drills that can be done to enhance abilities and comfort levels.
At the end of every session, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to reproduce those skills in any volleyball setting. This is really a "practice makes perfect" situation. The sooner you're able to repeat what you learn during a session, the faster you'll progress to more skilled drills.

Best coach I ever had:
My Club volleyball coaches are the reason I love to coach to this day. They showed me a different side of volleyball, and how important being consistent is to success and progress. They taught me how to be adaptable and analytical in order to recognize different ways to win or succeed.
Most of all, they taught me how to have fun no matter what, and how volleyball brings people together no matter where you go or play.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Volleyball has given so much to me over the years, friends, my family (met my wife playing on the beach in San Diego!), competition, travel, and just pure fun. And now I just want to find a way to give that passion back in any way I can.
My first time coaching volleyball was probably the most rewarding experience of my life, where this group of girls who had never played volleyball before but were all athletes in different sports and were able to come together and win some games in the end. After starting the season 0 - 12, to see them win that first game and see all that work and effort finally come to fruition was something I will never forget!

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 determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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!
