I’m coach David Heeps, I hold a Master’s in Psychology specializing in Sports Coaching. I’ve coached at the pro level in both Europe and North America, including Finland’s Mestis league with Imatra Ketterä and the ECHL with the Allen Americans. My background as a two-sport collegiate athlete and former starting goalkeeper gives me a deep understanding of the mental demands athletes face. I help players build resilience, sharpen focus, and perform under pressure on and off the ice.

I am a seasoned hockey coach with experience at the collegiate and professional levels. I wanted to expand my knowledge to benefit the athletes I train on ice, so I went back to school for my master's degree. I graduated from the University of Denver in 2025.
I will work with you and give you the tools you need to get your mind ready before the competition. Teaching you techniques from visualization to self-talk and the benefits they have to your game.
A typical session would look like a normal conversation with your coach. Learning about your game and giving you tips to improve your game.
Winning a state championship in my first year as a high school coach. Coaching in the Finnish Mestis league as both an assistant coach and video coach. Assistant video coach for the Allen Americans in the ECHL.
I have had a lot of great coaches, each has had an impact on my coaching career
I'm here for your athlete. I take pride in seeing the athletes I work with achieve their goals both in the sport they play and in life.

Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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.
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!
