Brown D1 Captain: recruiting guidance and shooting accuracy.
Brown D1 Captain: recruiting guidance and shooting accuracy.
Hi! I graduated in 2024 from Brown University where I played four years of NCAA D1 field hockey. I'm originally from Baltimore, MD where I trained for 10+ years with a club team and have coached private sessions and local clinics. I love to coach all ages, from beginners who want to learn the basics to high schoolers looking to get recruited at a college level.

About Me:
Played 4 years of D1 field hockey at Brown University, led my team as captain in the 2023 season and started every game of my career.
Before Brown, I attended Garrison Forest School in Owings Mills, MD where I received IAAM all-conference honors and led my team as captain my senior year. I also played for Hymax field hockey club from 2014-2020.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help athletes solidify their basic skills, as that foundation is essential to taking your game to the next level. My speciality is in defense so I can help with tackling, 1v1 skills, as well as how to attack as a defender. I also love to shoot and used to play forward, so I am happy to focus on shooting - whether teaching the basics of different shots or learning how to get shots off quickly and with increased accuracy. I also can offer recruiting advice for athletes who are interested in playing on the college level!
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I usually like to know the athlete's focus before we begin the lesson so I can set up a personalized agenda. I always start with warming up the basic stick skills and passing before we progress into more speed-based drills. I try to keep my drills active and stimulating, but like to switch up the pace between drills so give the athlete adequate recovery time. I always like to finish with a fun shooting drill!
Career summary and accomplishments:
I've done private and group lessons for several years. I also have helped coach my college clinics, high school clinics, and clinics in the local Baltimore area to help players who are new to the game.
Best coach I ever had:
My club coach, Michelle Webber, is the best coach I've ever had. She instilled my love for the game, my work ethic, and all my knowledge about on-field strategy.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I love to balance fun and learning into my lessons and am flexible on what type of lesson I can provide! Whether teaching basic skills or preparing to play at the college level, I always come prepared and make sure the lesson is well worth the athlete's time.

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.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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?
