I love coaching. It is a constant learning process that so many life lessons are derived from, on both sides. It is active, productive, and a challenge, all wrapped in one. I was a 6x All-American sprinter at the University of Arkansas, a NCAA Champion and a 5x SEC Champion. I have been ranked in the Top 20 of the World in multiple events. I have qualified for over 5 USA Track & Field Championships, and placed within the Top 20 in the United States in multiple events on multiple occasions. I acquired a USATF Coaching Certification, and have coached high school athletes to NCAA rosters, Navy Fitness Exams, and more. I was a Speed & Strength Coach with Houston Dynamo2, and have recently acquired licensure from ASFA for personal training. I have close relationships with over a dozen World/Olympic Medalists, and more with coaches and trainers of said Medalists.

Houston Dynamo FC - Strength & Conditioning Coach
I always like to start at a basic level, no matter the experience of the athlete. Once a solid base of form and conditioning/strength are established, lessons can intensify at the respective level of the athlete.
Warm-up, 15-30min: Working on activating and warming our muscle groups while hitting on proper running &/or lifting form. This is essential to getting faster, quicker, and stronger.
Session exercises, 20-40min: anything from max speed drills, acceleration drills, strength drills, etc...
Cooldown, 5-15min: stretch, jog for a few minutes...recover our bodies

The best Coach that I ever has was my high school jumps & sprints coach. He was knowledgeable and knew how to include everyone and make hard days more fun and more purposeful.
I will always engage athletes and challenge them to be their best while having fun and enjoying what they are doing.
I am always open to questions and encourage communication.

Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
