Get to know Coach Dakota
About Me:
I have been playing lacrosse since I was in 5th grade. I was a varsity starter all 4 years at Allentown high school and was named All American, First Team All State and First Team All County my junior and senior years. I played lacrosse my freshman year of college at York College of PA, one of the best D3 lacrosse programs around then transferred to Rutgers University where I walked onto the team. Shortly after walking-on, I suffered a knee injury and turned my sights on coaching and club lacrosse.
How I can help you improve your game:
As a coach, I pride myself in taking any sort of talent and building that to a competitive level. This helps someone's game by getting the basic drills and fundamentals down as a second nature. I will also help improve someone's game by getting them familiar with what college coaches look for in a player.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Depending on the time frame, a typical training session usually starts out with some stretching and calisthenics. Once we have gotten loose, then well head to some passing drills whether that be with me or wall ball. Then we will focus on dodging from all points on the field and finally we would wrap up into some shooting drills. All drills are subject to change or alter based off of the skill level on the athlete.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I started coaching in 2017 for my travel lacrosse team, Team Turnpike. I coached the 3rd and 4th graders for this team for 2 years before I moved away from my home town. I also coached as an assistant part-time for my high school lacrosse team where I specialized in shooting techniques.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my high school head coach, Carl Schubauer. He was a great coach because he listen to his players and learned to utilize their best talents while also building on their weaker skills.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
What people should know about me is that I give my full passion and investment into whatever I put my mind too. I pride myself in learning something new everyday whether that be becoming more fluent in my second language or building on my knowledge of computer coding. As a person, I strive to treat everyone with the same dignity and respect that I would want shown towards me so what you see is what you get!

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!
