USATF certified coach helping athletes train with purpose and grow
I’m a competitive runner and a USA Track & Field (USATF) Level 1 certified coach with a background running at the Virginia Military Institute. I focus on building well-rounded athletes through smart, intentional training and a strong foundation in overall fitness. My coaching style is clear, deliberate, and built on active listening. I take the time to understand each athlete’s goals and tailor training so it actually works for them. I also make it a point to explain the “why” behind every workout and adjustment—so athletes aren’t just following a plan, they’re learning, improving, and gaining confidence in their training.

About Me:
I’m a competitive runner and a USA Track & Field (USATF) Level 1 certified coach. I’m passionate about overall fitness and building well-rounded athletes, not just better runners.
How I can help you improve your game:
I improve your game through smart, purposeful training and clear communication. I take the time to understand your goals, strengths, and challenges so everything we do is tailored to you—not a one-size-fits-all plan.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session is structured but flexible, built around your goals and level.
We usually start with a warm-up (easy running, mobility work, and drills), then we move to the workout (very goal and event specific), We wrap up with a cooldown and maybe some active injury prevention work. Finally we discuss how things went and whats next.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Growing up I was a typical multi sport athlete playing baseball, swiming and rugby in high school. When I went to college, at the Virginia Military Institute, I fell in love with running and specifically track and field as a sport with the running club. It is a sport that develops all athletes and can my practiced lifelong. After college I wanted to continue and complete my level 1 USATF coaching certification to further my education to better athletes.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was mr Towell, as he really had a focus on foster love of sport that made me want to get better and eventually correct myself.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a soon to be parent myself and I am a firm believer in having the parents be involved as much as they want to be.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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?

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!
