Get to know Coach David
About Me:
My career has been successful through drive, determination & with the help of others. A successful business career which a lot of this was driven though sports, coaching and hard work. Played basketball throughout high school and started playing soccer recreationally in college. Started working out in the gym seriously in high school and never stopped. I picked up golf & tennis after college playing in various tournaments.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can show them tools to practice during sessions but also easy things to do at home that will help keep what is taught at the top of mind so they don't lose it. Use it or lose it are very true words. Thorough my own experiences and by realizing how each kid learns will only accelerate their own learning in an environment that is fun, educational and at a pace that will help each kid obtain the most from each session.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Typically start with a quick review of what the session is for the day. Proceed to a warm up to loosen up and stretch out the body as a whole with a focus on the muscles that will be worked most during the session. A quick conversation & drink of water to go over goal of the day. Then into the meat of the session. Each revolution designed to build up on itself working toward the final revolution which will always be all of the things that we just reviewed into one final revolution. Finalize the session with a final stretch & cool down while speaking on what we covered to make sure we met our goal and their is a full understanding of what we covered.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Most of my coaching has come in the last 2 years. I've worked with groups of kids from one on one up to groups of 20 kids at one time. Primarily focused on the importance of speed & agility in various sports from soccer, baseball, football & basketball. I stress the importance of agility in the game not just flat out speed. Better ways to move and the best way to run properly to increase speed. Always want to touch base with parents first to see their wants and goals for their child but also have a conversation with the kids as well to make sure that they understand what the goal is an how we get there.
Best coach I ever had:
My best coach would have been in golf. Golf in 90% mental and I learned more from him than anyone about the importance of mental strength & how it affects every aspect of your game. Not just in golf or sports in general but in life and business. Mindset is everything.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
The last few years I have been coaching kids from 8-13, mostly working on speed & agility, and love working with young minds that are like sponges and they just want to learn. I thoroughly enjoy working with young athletes just to know that what I can teach can not only translate to the game but also to the bigger picture of life skills that they can take with them into the workforce as well. I always incorporate fun things that seem to be just "fun" for the kids not realizing that they are performing an activity that is helping them learn as well. Never want my sessions to feel like "work" or to be stressful. Always want the kids to feel accomplished and to have the feeling that they have improved.

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!
