Get to know Cory
"Every champion was once a contender who refused to give up"
I believe in meeting challenges head-on, fostering a culture of resilience, and motivating others to reach beyond what they think is possible. I welcome the opportunity to bring the same dedication that turned a losing season into a championship win to you.
How I can help you improve
All sports require dedication, teamwork, consistency, and - most importantly- a genuine love for the game.
I can help you improve by deepening your understanding of the game and helping you discover your unique strengths and style of play- your "game." My goal is to guide you in developing both skill and confidence so you can reach your full potential as a player.
A typical training session
There's no one-size-fits-all training session with me, because every athlete has different needs and goals. However, we always begin with a proper warm-up to get the body ready, followed by focused work on the fundamentals. This helps me evaluate where you're at and identify the areas we'll target to improve your overall performance moving forward.
Career & accomplishments
One of my proudest accomplishments has been coaching 6th -8th graders over the past three years. We went from losing every game our first season to becoming champs three years later! The win was sweet, but what I loved the most was seeing the players grow, believe in themselves, and come together as a team.
Best coach I ever had
I can't say I had a coach who truly stood out as a great mentor in the traditional sense- and that experience has shaped the way I approach coaching today. Not having that kind of guidance inspired me to become the coach I wish I'd had: someone who motivates, supports, and believes in every player's potential.
What athletes & parents should know
Parents and athletes should know that I’m committed to helping each player grow—not only in skill, but in confidence, teamwork, and love for the game. I believe in creating a positive, structured, and encouraging environment where athletes can challenge themselves, learn from mistakes, and celebrate progress. My goal is to help every player reach their potential both on and off the court.

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?
AU was created by former college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
