As a former track and field athlete, current PT student, and coach, I can help someone improve their game by combining my athletic experience, coaching expertise, and growing knowledge of physical therapy. I focus on analyzing their strengths and areas for improvement, then create customized training plans to enhance performance, technique, and overall fitness. By emphasizing injury prevention, recovery strategies, and proper biomechanics, I ensure they can train and compete safely and effectively. Additionally, my background helps me foster a growth mindset, build confidence, and teach discipline, which are essential for sustained success in any sport.
Practices will focus on sprint-specific techniques, including acceleration mechanics and jump mechanics. Each session will begin with a thorough warm-up and cool down, followed by a tailored workout designed to meet the athlete’s needs, incorporating elements such as acceleration mechanics, jump techniques, and strength training. Each athlete will have access to practice objectives, goals, and schedule so they are informed and know what is expected during the session. I value transparent and strong communication. I want the parent, the athlete, and myself to be on the same page.

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.

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.
