Get to know Coach Prebes
About Me:
27 years of experience as a wrestling coach. I have coached at all levels: from youth to international. Over 40 years of experience as a competetive wrestler. Master's Degree in Exercise Science and Health Promotion with a specialization in Sports Psychology. Published author.
How I can help you improve your game:
My areas of expertise within Sports Psychology include: preparing for peak performance, coping with competition anxiety, goal setting, helping athletes return to competition after injury/surgery. I will help you develop the skills that will help you reach your athletic goals, play to (and past) your potential, eliminate anxiety and fear before and during competition, coping with the pressures of success (or failure), and help you maximize your potential in your sport and in life.
We can meet virtually or in person. To safeguard the welfare of the client, virtual meetings will be recorded; in person meetings will be in a public setting (ie, Starbucks, Panera, etc.). Parents are encouraged to attend meetings for support.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A training session with me is just like having a conversation with a coach, but with a coach who will not judge you based on how well you perform in your sport. The more I learn about what makes you who you are, the better I can help you. I will provide you with ideas and tips that you should integrate into your training and preparation for practice and competition. You have to be honest with yourself 100% before we can make changes and improvements. Here is a general breakdown of how a program with me will work:
- Initial consultation to learn about what you want to get out my program. The program is tailored to YOUR needs!
- Weekly meetings to talk about how you are progressing. The key with my program is HONESTY! You need to be honest with me and most of all, yourself.
- How many weekly meetings will be based on how much you want to get out of my program.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Currently, I am an Assistant Wrestling Coach at St. Christopher's School in Richmond, VA. In my 17 years with the program, we have won 9 VISAA State titles, finished in the top 10 at the National Prep Wrestling Championships numerous times. We have produced numerous State Champions/Place Winners, National Prep Champions/All-Americans. I am also the Head Wrestling Coach for Maccabi USA Wrestling and coached at the 20th and 21st World Maccabiah Games in Israel. I have coached numerous National Champions and All-Americans as part of the Virginia Wrestling Association National Teams and was one of the Greco Roman coaches for Team USA that competed in the UWW Cadet Worlds in 2014 and the UWW Junior Pan American Championships in 2008. Athletic Accomplishments: 2X USA Wrestling Masters National Champion, 2021 UWW Veterans World Champion, 2019 & 2022 UWW Veterans World Medalist, 2023 & 2024 UWW World Championships 5th place. As a younger athlete I was a USA Wrestling National Champion, All-American and World Team Member. I wrestled at Millersville (PA) University, and graduated from Penn State.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was not the best technical coach. Rather, he found ways to motivate me and my teammates to be the best possible on the mat every day. This coach had a very unique way to relate to his athletes and give the drive to reach their potential.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Everything that your athlete is feeling or experiencing in their sport is something that I understand, because I dealt with those same feelings. As an athlete, I struggled (and still do to a degree today) with competition anxiety, coping with success and failures, pressure from parents/friends/community, and dealing with injuries and returning to competition after surgery. I want to help your athlete break through their current limitations and help them realize their goals and potential. I will help you on your journey. We will develop a plan based on YOUR needs.
I am a USA Wrestling Bronze level coach and have the most current, up to date Safesport certification. I am also a certified and licensed teacher (it's my main 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!
