How I can help you improve your game:
I believe in fine tuning fundamental skills, big and small, in order to improve a player's physical performance. From personal experience, I have found that small adjustments, which are oftentimes overlooked, have been the key to unlocking an athlete's potential. By zooming into these fine details, we can begin to see an improvement on a larger scale that will then translate on the field.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session will always begin with a proper warm up and end with a cool down stretch. I am a strong advocate of prioritizing an athlete's health and mobility as this will also improve their performance. Sessions will vary depending on the skills that a player wants to improve on. Beginning sessions will focus on fine-tuning technical skills and learning about an athlete's approach to the game. These sessions will involve a heavy-load of drills as continuous, repetitive movements are vital in developing one's muscle memory. Later sessions will zoom out and focus on connecting movements by learning how to use such skills in game-like settings in order to develop the IQ of the sport.

Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was a former hitting coach who not only believed in my capabilities as a player, but wholeheartedly, wanted me to succeed in all areas of my life. Our hitting sessions became opportunities to learn valuable life lessons, which helped me grow into the person I am today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a recent college graduate (class of 2023), and because of this, I aim to bring a fresh perspective to the sport. I have many years of playing experience, and I believe in not only improving the physical performance of athletes, but to also develop a better IQ of the sport. As a former collegiate athlete, I have gained a deeper understanding of the mental sophistication of softball as well as the physical. I look forward to working with athletes who are interested in improving in these areas while continuing to find the joy of the game.

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 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.
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!
