Get to know Coach Benjamin
About Me:
I have participated competitively in several sports, but my favorite is Baseball, which I played through High School. After receiving no scholarships, I decided to focus on academia instead of attempting to walk on in college. I pursued a career in psychology, specifically focusing on behavior in efforts to help the athletes of the next generation be more prepared mentally for collegiate sports than I was. Since then, my athletic journey has shifted to non-competitive weight lifting and calisthenics, which I find to be effective confidence boosters!
How I can help you improve your game:
We will improve by assessing your current level of participation and identifying strengths and weakness both on and off the field. After that, we will implement psychological skills (routines, planning, goal setting, imagery, etc.) to compliment your schedule, *not create busy work*. We will then re-assess and decide whether the new routine is helpful and sustainable.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session would consist of us practicing psychological skills to see which ones you believe will be the most helpful. Then, we will figure out how to apply them to preparation (training, film, even school/home tasks) and competition.
For sports performance, a typical session will focus on cardio, stability, mobility and flexibility, endurance, and functional strength.
Career summary and accomplishments:
In my youth I occasionally provided 1 on 1 coaching for various family friends. However, most of my coaching experience has been with children from 6 weeks up to 13 years. I was a fitness instructor focusing on strength, mobility, flexibility and cardio. I taught groups up to 20 through ninja warrior obstacle courses, Zumba, basic gymnastics and the basics of several other sports like kickball, baseball/softball, track and field, football and soccer.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my dad. He coached my little league baseball team and the thing I remember most was how he was able to help every player identify their strengths and weaknesses. He somehow found ways to maximize our abilities while simultaneously focusing on things we weren't so good at. He loved choosing "misfits"; we were all small and inexperienced, but he had us growing, competing and beating everyone!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athlete's and parents should know that I have worked hard to learn from my own experiences to find the tactics to create individualized plans for your child. Everyone experiences difficulties in life. Through empathy, experience, eagerness to educate and a strong belief that there is a DAWG in everyone, I believe I can help athletes and parents develop the mental and/or physical edge for them to overcome obstacles they should face in their journeys. Ultimately, I want parents to know that my goal is for their child to maximize the amount of fun they have, and be proud of what they can achieve.

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!
