How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve their game through personalized, data-driven training that enhances speed, strength, and power while addressing hockey’s unique demands. Using advanced performance analysis and fatigue monitoring, I tailor programs to optimize performance, reduce injury risk, and ensure athletes are training at their peak.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session is highly individualized based on the athlete’s needs, goals, and season demands. Sessions often include a dynamic warm-up, sport-specific movement drills, and tailored strength and power work. I utilize gold-standard heart rate monitors and linear position transducers to objectively guide training intensity, monitor fatigue, and ensure each session is optimized for performance gains while minimizing injury risk. Every session is grounded in sport science and designed to help athletes reach their full potential.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have 8 months of internship experience in sport science and strength and conditioning with the Ontario Reign (AHL), where I assisted in training athletes in the weight room, conducted data analysis for performance monitoring, and ran on-ice injury rehabilitation sessions. I also had the opportunity to work with the LA Kings (NHL), contributing to athlete development at the highest levels of the sport.
Best coach I ever had:
My 16u coach (a former NHL number one overall pick) pushed me to be my best on the ice while teaching the importance of preparation, discipline, and attention to detail. What stood out most was his ability to connect with each player, motivating and holding us accountable while remaining supportive. His commitment to developing both the athlete and the person left a lasting impact on me.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I bring a deep understanding of hockey’s physical demands, combining science-backed training with real experience at elite levels. I’m dedicated to developing well-rounded athletes by focusing on performance, recovery, and long-term growth through individualized, data-driven methods.

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!
