Get to know Coach Christopher
About Me:
I have played as a starter in multiple games, primarily as a defensive tackle, leading my team in tackles and showcasing my ability to make game-changing plays with 4 tackles for losses, a sack, and a forced fumble in my senior year. Transitioning to coaching, I've honed my expertise in man-to-man blocking, double-teams, pass protection, and defensive line pass rush and run stop techniques. My foundation is built on an all-state and all-league high school career that laid the groundwork for my coaching philosophy focused on technique, strength, and leadership
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help athletes elevate their game by focusing on both the technical and mental sides of line play. Whether it's improving footwork, hand placement, leverage, or developing strength and conditioning, I tailor each session to the individual’s needs. I also instill a mindset of mental toughness and leadership that carries over to every aspect of their training and competition
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session starts with a quick dynamic warm-up, then agility drills to build quickness and explosiveness. Then, I focus on position-specific drills, emphasizing footwork, hand placement, and leverage for both offensive and defensive linemen. We'll work on drills for pass rush, run stopping, double-teams, and pass protection. The session wraps up with strength training or conditioning, followed by a cool-down and review of the day's progress. Throughout, I stress the importance of mental focus and maintaining a strong work ethic.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I’ve coached pass rushers, defensive tackles, and offensive linemen, focusing on technique refinement, gap control, and mental toughness. My coaching experience has been shaped by my playing days and a commitment to helping athletes develop a complete understanding of the game
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Coach John Dowd from my high school team. His commitment to building not just better players but better people stood out. He taught me the importance of mental toughness, discipline, and playing the game with passion. His ability to make complex techniques simple and motivating was something I strive to replicate in my coaching
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I believe in holistic player development—improving both the physical and mental aspects of the game. I emphasize consistency, hard work, and leadership while creating a supportive environment where athletes can push themselves to achieve their full potential. My approach is not just about X's and O's but also about fostering a mindset of resilience, focus, and determination.

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!
