Instead of guesswork or generic programs, I apply proven principles from sports science, strength and conditioning, and injury prevention to build training plans that actually translate to performance on the field. The goal isn’t just short-term gains, instead it’s developing durable athletes who can perform at a high level, recover efficiently, and stay healthy throughout their season and career.

We will always start with a full-body warm up catered towards specific muscular function and activation. As the body heats up and gets prepared for higher intensity the warm up will move from mobility to dynamic exercise.
Then we will train for specific adaptations that we discuss with proper form using drills, banded exercises, etc. for about 45 minutes.
I have a BS in Kinesiology from Utah State University and a MS in Leadership from Grand Canyon University. I'm a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and have the Certified Performance Sport Scientist (CPSS), Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), and Registered Strength and Conditioning Coach (RSCC) certifications.
While at Grand Canyon I've assisted the sports staff in winning 7 conference championships with the teams I've worked with.
The best coach I ever had was one of my high school Lacrosse coaches. He was very hard on the defense and held very high standards, called out mistakes, and treated starters and non-starters equally. He also taught us life skills that extended beyond Lacrosse like discipline, accountability, and handling failure. He always made sure to check on us as students and kids instead of just athletes. Not only was he a great coach, but he actually gave me my first job working for his company, which I also learned a lot of life lessons during my time.

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.
