Get to know Coach Kevin
About Me:
I started running track and field when I was in middle school, and then in high school. In 2001 I went on to become certified in coaching and sports first aid by the National Federation State High School Association and the American Sports Education Program through the University of Illinois. I started coaching for my old high school and coached there for 10 years. In that time I developed training and exercise programs to meet individual requirements and team play strategies. I coached sprints, relays, long jump, triple jump, high jump, and distance. During my time here I had advanced over 30 athletes to state, and have
won more than 8 state championships and a third-place state title.
How I can help you improve your game:
You will work hard to improve with individually set goals and programs that will allow you to succeed. I will take the time to get to know the athletes inside and out. I will take the time to understand their strengths and weaknesses. We will set goals together and develop a program that will get you to those goals.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Due to the physical demands of an athlete, we will work on core development and strengthening. Hard training as a 400-meter running (because there is nothing harder than a 400-meter dash, you accomplish that and you can conquer anything else). We will look at every aspect of your abilities including everything from your diet to exercise and beyond. I will expect 110% every day.
Career summary and accomplishments:
In 2001 I went on to become certified in coaching and sports first aid by the National Federation State High School Association and the American Sports Education Program through the University of Illinois. I started coaching for my old high school and coached there for 10 years. In that time I developed training and exercise programs to meet individual requirements and team play strategies. I coached sprints, relays, long jump, triple jump, high jump, and distance. During my time here I had advanced over 30 athletes to state, and have won more than 8 state championships and a third-place state title. I help advance individuals to state and long jump, high jump, triple jump, sprints, and relays. Have accomplished many state championships in sprints and relays including achieving a third-place state title with only four girls.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach that I ever had was Coach Lane. He was my P.E. teacher in middle school and he was the high school track coach at that time too. I went out for track in middle school and found out I was not so bad and the track thing, so I worked hard and carried over to high school where coach Lane coached me through high school. He motivated me to want to be the type of coach he was. I went on to get my certifications and came back to coach under him. He was a great mentor and helped me to become the coach that I was and am.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I like to push and drive the athlete to the best of their abilities. I like to go hard and leave everything out there. I like to develop an athlete as not only a well-rounded athlete but also as a well-rounded person in society. Whether you are looking to get scholarships or a college athlete that is looking to excel further I like to make sure you are excelling not only on the track but also in the classroom and in the world. I earned an Associate's Degree in Law Enforcement from Joliet Junior College, a Bachelor's Degree in Social and Criminal Justice from Ashford University, and am in the process of completing my Master's Degree in Business Administration from Western Governors University. I spent 24 years working in emergency services as a firefighter, EMT, and emergency services officer. I retired from the fire service as a Lieutenant. I own and run my own companies now as well.

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 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.
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.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
