About Me:
I’ve spent 8 years immersed in the track and field world—6 as a dedicated athlete and 2 as a successful assistant coach with Gately Park Athletic Club. My journey has been fueled by a passion for the sport and a commitment to helping others achieve their best. As an assistant coach, I’ve had the privilege of working with young athletes who consistently show remarkable success and growth. My coaching approach emphasizes not just physical training but also the psychological aspects of the sport, which I believe are crucial to an athlete’s development.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve their game by providing personalized coaching that targets both their physical and mental needs. I focus on refining technique, enhancing speed and endurance, and developing mental strategies that build confidence and resilience. By addressing the psychological aspects of the sport, I strive to ensure athletes are not only physically prepared but also mentally strong to handle the pressures of competition.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me is dynamic and well-rounded. We start with a thorough warm-up to prepare the body and mind, followed by drills that focus on technique, speed, and strength. We also incorporate mental conditioning exercises to build focus and resilience. The session ends with a cool-down and a reflection period, where we discuss progress, set goals, and ensure athletes leave feeling accomplished and motivated. Each session is designed to be challenging yet engaging, with an emphasis on both physical and mental growth.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I’ve spent 2 years as an assistant track and field coach with Gately Park Athletic Club, where I’ve had the pleasure of working with young athletes who have consistently shown significant improvement and success. My coaching journey has been driven by a passion for developing both the physical and psychological aspects of my athletes, ensuring they reach their full potential. During my time at Gately Park Athletic Club, I’ve helped athletes achieve personal bests and develop a deeper understanding of the sport. My coaching focuses on a balanced approach that emphasizes fundamentals, mental toughness, and a growth mindset. I believe that track and field is not just about physical ability but also about cultivating the right mental attitude.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had understood that track and field is as much a mental game as it is a physical one. They focused on building my confidence and mental resilience, teaching me that the right mindset can make all the difference in performance. Their influence shaped my own coaching philosophy, where I prioritize the psychological well-being of my athletes.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I’m deeply committed to each athlete’s overall development. I understand that success in track and field comes from a strong mind as much as a strong body. My coaching style fosters not only physical improvement but also mental toughness, confidence, and a love for the sport. I’m here to support athletes in becoming the best versions of themselves, both on and off the track.

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.
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!
