Book Private Mental-performance Lessons with Coach Michael
I provide sport/performance psychology consulting services to youth and adult athletes and performers, including individuals, teams, organizations, coaches, trainers, and administrators. My role as a consultant is to engage in a broad range of activities including the identification, development, and execution of the mental and emotional knowledge, skills, and abilities required for excellence in performance. I am also passionate about diversity and the positive impact of true inclusivity. I believe in seeking greater awareness and understanding of differences and committing to an inquisitive approach to clients. It is important that I create inclusive environments that are caring, respectful, empathetic, and welcoming for all.

Get to know Coach Michael
About Me:
I have been working primarily with High School and Collegiate student-athletes for 15+ years. I have also worked with a few professional athletes as well. I have a Doctorate in Sport and Performance Psychology, and I have been a Certified Mental Performance Consultant through the Association of Applied Sport Psychology since 2022.
How I can help you improve your game:
Self-awareness is always the first step to improved performance. Once one can recognize the areas of improvement, then we can seek specific strategies of improvement. There are no shortcuts to performance improvement. However, having someone with the knowledge and skills to train the brain to approach performance the right way, and to respond to setbacks the right way can make all the difference in the world.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical individual session would be conducted virtually, most likely, where I would ask the right questions to get to the source of the presenting issue(s). From there we will work together in collaboration to find the right tools and resources to meet the issues and work toward a resolution. I will always allow the client to express themselves openly, honestly, and without judgement. I always take an unbiased approach and allow clients to explain to me what they would like to see improved. I approach all clients with humility and empathy, but I also like to set the bar high for their improvement.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have been working primarily with High School and Collegiate student-athletes for 15+ years. I have also worked with a few professional athletes as well. I have a Doctorate in Sport and Performance Psychology, and I have been a Certified Mental Performance Consultant through the Association of Applied Sport Psychology since 2022. I am currently working with soccer, tennis, golf, and volleyball student-athletes. In the past I have worked with athletes in football, basketball, track and field, and baseball, as well as other performers in the arts.
Best coach I ever had:
My little league baseball coach, Willie Stephens is my all-time favorite coach. "Coach Will" introduced me to competitive sports at a very young age and created the foundation upon which I would go on to build a career in sports, working with athletes and other performers. I learned competitiveness, high expectations, teamwork, sportsmanship, and the value of winning under his tutelage. Thanks, Coach!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I take a holistic approach to working with clients. My expectations is that each client becomes much more self-aware, learn some useful new strategies, and become better versions of themselves as people and as athletes with my help. Each individual is the one true expert on themselves, and I believe that we we each have the capacity within to find solutions to any issue we face.

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!
