Get to know Coach Chance
About Me:
I'm an athlete and much more than that. I spent my life knowing my mission was to coach/teach my community after seeing so many of my friends not get the same opportunities I did and felt that becoming as well rounded as I could was the best way to relate to the generations following mine. I was born in 1998 so I understand the lingo of 12 year old's while being old enough to remember a time before everyone was online. Bridging the gap to connect and develop our young athletes of today has been my passion. So I studied music, business, psychology, sports. I needed to learn to communicate my knowledge with everyone I met so I intentionally worked in environments with exclusively women, kids, minorities, wealthy, poor, artists, intellectuals. For the purpose of being able to effectively teach/coach the members of my community who weren't as lucky as I was.
How I can help you improve your game:
I have years of the highest level coaching behind me. I have worked with athletes/students of every age and sex to develop them towards their goals in a way that they can understand. My focus is identifying your athletes motivators, weaknesses and goals. With those 3 foundations in mind I can create customized coaching plans to develop each unique client I have. As well, unlike most coaches I have actually experienced the current NIL college world and am fresh out so your athlete can have the best chance to succeed in the drastically changed environment of todays football.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
If an athlete isn't having fun, they can't succeed long term. I offer 2 types of sessions. 1 on 1 position training and 1 on 1 strength/agility training. Sessions are typically 1 hour and will start out as basic sessions to identify your athletes skill, physical, and knowledge level. After the first few sessions the training will adapt to the athlete. Typically, the first half of the skill session with be fundamentals and footwork followed by a second half of advanced training and IQ development. With all this in mind, the
Career summary and accomplishments:
I was born and raised in San Antonio Texas playing high school ball at Churchill. I played 5 years at the University of Colorado and studied Opera performance along with Sports Psychology. I spent my graduate year at Duke University under Coach Mike Elko and received my Master's in Business. Following that I played in the NFL preseason with the giants and the steelers and 2 seasons in the UFL with the Memphis Showboats. During the off season I taught Chess lessons at local Austin elementary schools and I was the Offensive line coach and offensive coordinator for the Austin women's football team. I now own a training company "Gentle Giant Training" based out of South Austin.
Best coach I ever had:
Mike Elko and Mike Tomlin
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I care deeply about developing the next generation of athletes in a way that they can understand. With social media and NIL as it is young athletes are being trained by antiquated coaching styles that don't adjust to the communication styles and value structures that the next generation cares about. This is the difference with my coaching style. I believe in a well rounded athlete and a well rounded life. developing that in my athletes is my mission with the time I have.

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.
