Dedicated to the Development of your Athlete
You should train with me because I bring a unique combination of personal experience, technical expertise, and a passion for athlete development. I understand the demands of competition firsthand. I’ve spent six years coaching athletes of all levels—from young beginners to collegiate sprinters and professional triathletes—helping them refine technique, build strength, and develop the mental toughness needed to succeed. My coaching approach is rooted in kinesiology and athlete physiology, ensuring that every session is tailored to your specific needs and goals. Whether you’re looking to improve your efficiency in the water, optimize your run mechanics, or build strength without unnecessary fatigue, I focus on the details that make a real difference in performance. Most importantly, I create an encouraging and uplifting environment. I know how powerful the right coaching can be, and I want to provide the support and knowledge that I wish was provided when I first started. Whether your goal is mastering the fundamentals, setting a personal best, or competing at the highest level, I’m committed to helping you get there.

About Me:
Growing up I was never particular great at any sport but I was good enough to be varsity in every sport I participated in. This trend continues till college where my first year of triathlons I became the fastest 21 year old in the nation at 2023 USAT Age Group Nationals. From there I continued to improve in the three sports and just recently became a professional triathlete.
How I can help you improve your game:
I have a bachelors degree in exercise science as well as extensive knowledge in biomechanics, exercise physiology. Most importantly however, I’ve been an athlete for over 16 years and understand the process and frustrations that come along with it.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We first start off with sport specific warmup. Depending on the athletes needs we will either work on technique or conditioning for their sport, then move into a warm down to conclude the session.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have 6 years of coaching experience, swimming, middle to long distance track and field events, and strength and conditioning. I have coached ages of 5-74 for water safety, to now helping collegiate sprinters and professional triathletes attain their performance goals.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I have ever had is my current one. I’m currently a professional triathlete training for the Olympics. He is outstanding because he understands what it means to be a top level athlete and what it takes to become the best in the world.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
As an athlete or parent, you should know that I bring both high-level experience and a deep passion for helping athletes succeed. I’ve been a competitive runner and swimmer for 16 years and recently became a professional triathlete, so I understand firsthand what it takes to perform at your best.
With six years of coaching experience, I’ve worked with athletes of all levels—from young beginners learning water safety to collegiate sprinters and professional triathletes refining their mechanics. My coaching focuses on technique, strength & conditioning, and mental preparation, using kinesiology and athlete physiology to tailor training to your specific needs.
Most importantly, I believe in creating an encouraging and uplifting environment. Whether your goal is improving your form, getting stronger, or competing for a national title, I’m committed to helping you achieve it. I thrive on seeing athletes set goals and reach them, and I want to provide the kind of support I wished I had when I was starting out.

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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
