Book Private Football Lessons with Coach Cole
Why train with me? I’ll tell you… I have been training for sports my entire life. I began playing football at the age of 7 and played all the way till I was 22. I played from pop warner to high school, junior college and all the way to d1 college football at UC Davis. However, not all players can coach all though I’m new I have some high school coaching experience coaching defensive line. But i know how to train. I’ve been training to be the best player possible since I was 7. Working on technique, speed and strength. I’ve trained with world class coaches; nfl players, d1 college players and coaches, even at a young age I trained with my father a retired Navy SEAL. I can work with all players but I specialize in defensive line. I can work with any position or even non football athletes on strength and speed as well. I have been strength and speed training my whole life and have a lot of knowledge there as well. I am also a certified and working EMT which gives me great knowledge on how to keep athletes safe from injury and how to treat an athlete if an injury occurs. Anyone who wants to reach their full potential as an athlete I encourage you to come train with me and have some fun.

How I can help you improve your game:
I can help all players improve.
I specialize in defensive line and to a lesser extent offensive line technique. However I can coach any player with basic football fundamentals.
For all sports I can also help improve on strength and speed.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session completely depends on what the athlete wants to improve. All training will start with proper warm up. For football we would go straight into position specific drills with demonstration and explanation of techniques. For speed training we would focus on isolation drills and sprinting. A strength training session would consist of teaching and demonstrating proper lifting movements and going through customized lifting programs specific to the athlete. Training shouldn’t be typical it should be specific to the needs of the athlete.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Coached pre season at O’farell charter as dline and assistant coach Experience with teaching weight training and formulating lifting programs Intern at Power Athlete
Best coach I ever had:
The greatest coach I ever had was one of my high school coaches. It wasn’t his knowledge and the skills he taught, though he did teach me a lot, it was the motivation and the mental coaching I received that stuck with me. Some coaches can teach more than the sport and can even help you succeed in life.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know I am new to coaching but I have so much experience that I can’t wait to pass on.

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!
