About Me:
I started coaching youth sports while in high school. I played three varsity sports and each season coached clinics and teams for that respective sport. Giving back to the community through sports is something I've always felt is important for athletes and coaches. While playing baseball in college, I started my first "real" coaching job, middle school baseball. And I haven't stopped since then!
In the last 15 years I've coached different levels of baseball, from t-ball to college, and everything in between. The last three years I've been Head varsity Baseball Coach at Palm Beach Gardens High School, as well as teaching full time.
In terms of accomplishments, the biggest accomplishment as a coach is to see your team succeed and your players to achieve their dreams. I've coached teams that have won regional and district championships and numerous players have gone on to play collegiately at all levels. I've also won Coach of the Year awards from several media outlets.
How I can help you improve your game:
Honest feedback is key. Having an open line of communication with the athlete, specifically what they expect and what their goals are. An initial evaluation is typically where we start and determine how if the goals the athlete set are attainable in a specific timeline. Understanding that skill development is a process that usually takes time to master. Resources such as drills and video so athletes can build the skills they desire.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
This really depends on the athlete. I'm a process based coach so the athlete and parents will need to know development takes time. Every athlete is different, there's no one size fits all models.

Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had as an athlete was my high school soccer coach, Mr. Sam Pendleton. Growing up in small town Maine, it was important to have influential coaches who not only coached the game but were role models as well. Coach Pendleton did both. As a varsity coach of 40+ years, eight state championships and over 450 wins, he was a genius on the field in terms of "X's and O's" and developing players. However, off the field he was even more influential. He taught old school values but was able to connect to any young athlete regardless of talent. Coach P will always stand out among the many great coaches I've had in my sports career.

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!
