About Me:
High school was an all-league defensive back, league special teams player of the year with 4 returns for touchdowns, broke the school relay record, and set the relay record for the league. I received a preferred walk-on spot at San Diego State where I redshirted my freshman year then started to creep my way onto special teams in the next coming years with covid involved. Started to make plays on teams turned heads at practice and went on to have the best spring and fall camp on the team in 2022 started that year. Had a great year earned a scholarship continued to have another good 2 camps started in 2023, but I was hit with some nagging injuries that lingered all year. End-of-year coach retires I stayed for spring and decided to transfer after, and I ended up in Dallas at SMU, where we had a historic season first year in the ACC.
How I can help you improve your game:
Teaching them the things coaches forget about. Little things you can't get with a team indy drill or on a 7on7 team.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Warm-up catching regardless of position. Depending on age and where the skills are start our sessions with variations of catching with hands only. Teach them the proper way to catch how to move your body with the ball, and also how to track a ball (over the shoulder, back shoulder etc). Then move on to out the frame catches making sure again we are using our hands. Now that we have that incorporate that into routes for the offensive side, defense into breaks, and drills with catching incorporated in.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Just started coaching I am a coach at Next Level Sports 7on7 team and coach 1st and 2nd grade. I also train some kids from my team outside of our regularly scheduled program.
Best coach I ever had:
My best coach ever was my college safeties coach at San Diego State named Kyle Hoke. Plain and simple he believed in me, he believed I could get on the field and produce and play at a high level for this team, he vouched for me when no one else was. Always had my back and was someone I could go and talk to about anything at any time. You can't find that in many coaches, we bounced ideas off each other and always had that open-door policy with him.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a hard-working individual I think my story speaks for itself all I know how to do is work. You can't cheat the process I had to learn the hard way I'm here to make sure your child doesn't.

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!
