I have played field hockey for 15 years. I was a field hockey goalie and I still love to play. I played varsity field hockey in college at the University of Mary Washington. Last year I was the goalie coach for the Roanoke College Field Hockey team and I fell in love with coaching. I believe that it is important to refine skills by reviewing basic techniques first. When goalies become more advanced sometimes they lose form on skills like diving. By reviewing the basics, goalies will improve their safety and success in more advanced skills. I love working one on one with goalies and tailoring each practice to what they need. I love to work on technique and strategy, but I believe that the most important thing is to keep loving the game! It is important to me that players remember that field hockey is fun! When players remember to enjoy their sport they are more successful.

When I am not doing field hockey I am playing with my dog,
making art, reading or hanging out with friends and family. I have a full time job as a mental health therapist.
My focus when working with goalies is to focus on technique, strategy and have some fun!
Typically I will begin with having the goalie warm up and stretch. I will lead the goalie through a warm up including clears, hand saves and dives. The rest of the session really depends on what the individual player needs and their skill level. I typically work on several skills throughout the session to keep things exciting and review. However, I do choose one skill to really focus on. I always start with the basics of a skill for technique and then I work on making the skill more advanced. I will always make goalies work up to making a save on the move or several saves in a row. I want to create realistic game scenarios. I love work through worst case scenario situations in games because realistically not every save is pretty. I think that this builds confidence and helps when goalies are under a lot of pressure.
I was a starting goalie for the University of Mary Washington and was a goalie coach for Roanoke College last year.
My club coach! My club coach had a huge impact on my life growing up. If I had not played with him, I do not think I would have made it so far in field hockey. His philosophy was to focus on teaching players the love of the game above everything else.
I want to make sure that players understand the why behind what I teach. I also love to joke around and have fun while coaching! I have worked with players of all ages and I just really love field hockey!

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.
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.
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.
