How I can help you improve your game:
I emphasize the importance of fundamentals and consistent effort, teaching athletes that mastery of the basics builds a foundation for long-term success. Training should be challenging but enjoyable, striking a balance between discipline and enthusiasm to keep athletes motivated.
Equally critical is mental preparation. Encouraging athletes to embrace setbacks as opportunities for growth cultivates mental toughness and self-belief. I promote open communication, offering constructive feedback and listening to athletes’ needs to build trust and mutual respect.
Ultimately, my goal is to help athletes become not just better competitors, but better people—instilling values such as teamwork, integrity, and perseverance that will benefit them both on and off the field.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session is designed to be intense, purposeful, and tailored to the individual athlete's needs. Each session begins with a clear plan of action, ensuring every minute is focused on growth and improvement. My approach emphasizes mastering the fundamentals while addressing specific areas for development, helping athletes build a strong foundation and enhance their overall performance.
Throughout the session, I provide personalized, meaningful feedback to ensure athletes understand how to maximize their efforts, both in the current drill and in future training. My philosophy is simple: every session is an opportunity to get better. The goal is to leave each training day stronger, smarter, and more prepared for the next challenge.
Parents can trust that their athletes will receive professional guidance in a supportive yet challenging environment, fostering not just skill development but also confidence, discipline, and a passion for continuous growth. With my training, athletes are set up to succeed both on and off the field.

Best coach I ever had:
Coach John Shank, he kept me accountable both on and off the court. He also still calls me to this and checks up on me. He is 98 years old
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m a coach who is deeply committed to not only developing athletes but also building lasting, positive connections with them. My mission is to pair kids with a great coach like myself who genuinely care about their growth, not just the bottom line. Coaching is my passion, and I truly love helping each child reach their full potential. From day one, you’ll see a noticeable impact as I work to bring out the very best in your child, both on and off the field.

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!
