About Me:
Over my career, I have been fortunate to achieve many accomplishments that shaped both my athletic and personal journey. As a pole vaulter, I had the honor of breaking and holding the state record in Ohio, where I’m from—a milestone that remains one of my proudest achievements. Beyond setting records, athletics opened incredible doors for me, including earning a scholarship that allowed me to have my college education fully paid for. These experiences taught me the value of hard work, dedication, and perseverance, and they continue to fuel my passion for helping young athletes chase and achieve their own dreams.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help someone get better by focusing on their individual strengths, identifying areas for improvement, and creating a clear plan to achieve their goals. My approach combines personalized training programs with consistent feedback to ensure steady progress. I prioritize teaching proper technique to prevent injuries and build a strong foundation for long-term success. Beyond the physical, I focus on mental toughness, motivation, and goal setting, helping athletes overcome challenges and stay focused. Most importantly, I strive to build trust and provide encouragement, creating a supportive environment where athletes feel confident to push their limits and grow.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session starts with a dynamic warm-up to prepare the body and prevent injuries, including mobility exercises and light cardio. We then focus on skill-specific drills tailored to the athlete’s goals, such as improving speed, strength, or technique. Strength and conditioning exercises are incorporated to build power and endurance. The session ends with a cool-down routine, including stretching and recovery techniques, to ensure proper muscle care. Throughout, I provide real-time feedback, encouragement, and adjustments to maximize progress and confidence.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have had the privilege of coaching both swim and track for a variety of families and alongside different coaches, which has given me valuable experience in adapting to diverse needs and coaching styles. One of my proudest accomplishments has been leading an all-girls group dedicated to inspiring young women to pursue their dreams, both in sports and in life. This experience reinforced my belief in the importance of empowerment and encouragement, especially for young athletes. Through my coaching, I aim to instill confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose in every athlete I work with.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I’ve ever had is my high school coach, Coach Coblentz. He taught me what it truly means to be a great coach, not just in terms of athletic training but also in building meaningful relationships with his athletes. As a young athlete, I admired how much he cared about each of us, taking the time to understand our goals and challenges. He showed me how a coach’s input can shape not just athletic performance but also personal growth. His guidance inspired trust, respect, and motivation, and it’s those qualities I strive to bring to my own coaching style today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I am a dedicated coach who genuinely cares about the success and well-being of every athlete I work with. I bring firsthand experience as a state record-holding pole vaulter and a scholarship athlete, which allows me to understand both the challenges and opportunities that come with competing at a high level. My coaching philosophy emphasizes skill development, injury prevention, and personal growth, all in a supportive and encouraging environment. I’m passionate about helping athletes build confidence, develop discipline, and reach their full potential both on and off the track.

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!
