...My dad meant my mind. Growing up (which I am still doing, by the way) I mostly struggled with reactions. I would overreact to the bad, the good, and to the insignificant. It impacted my ability to perform my best. I had a terrible habit of "majoring in the minors." I have spent years combatting my competitive voices. It is something I work to be intentional about, and I have come a LONG way. Together, we will gradually work toward finding your why and aligning your competitive voices with your mind and your heart, regardless of sport. I'm Steven (Coach A, Coach Steven) and I look forward to being on your team! Play on!

Try Coach Steven risk free. If you don't love your first lesson, we'll switch you to another coach or give you a full refund.
Philly born Pittsburgh resident with years of playing, coaching, spectating, and advising!
Anxiety before, during, after competition. Self-talk. Visualization. Accepting failure as part of being human. Leadership development. Motivation. Future prospects. Time management.
Virtual. Our initial conversation(s) will always be based on an introduction. I want to know who you are, your why, and who you want to be. I also want you to hear my journey and view me as a real (now NARP) person. From that connection, we will discuss what you're experiencing. This is a judgment-free space to be truly authentic with yourself. That is the only way we can make any progress. My belief is that you already possess your own answers - I just hope to play a small role in your lightbulb/"ahha" moment when it all starts to click. Then, we will be intentional about trial and error, about being intentional AND human. I know you got this; I just like to compete.
I "played" many sports: soccer, hockey, baseball, basketball, lacrosse, football. I spent eight seasons coaching football. I transitioned to higher education and have been an academic advisor to D1 student-athletes, an academic coach, and a student success coordinator.
My dad coached me in everything EXCEPT football. He is the best coach I have ever had (Tom Brady vibes).
I am NOT a licensed sports psychologist. If that is what you're seeking, please search for that service specifically as that field has lots to offer. I would like to be viewed exactly as Athletes Untapped promotes: a coach. A mentor, even. A real human being who cares about the intentional development of others. I have lots of corny sayings and am pretty unfunny - but folks do tend to learn something from me. I care.

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.
