Developing smarter, more confident football players one rep at a time.
I help football players become more confident, technically sound, and prepared for game day through individualized, position-specific training. With high school coaching experience at wide receiver and special teams, I focus on fundamentals, football IQ, and the small details that separate good players from great ones. Every session is tailored to the athlete’s position, experience level, and goals, with an emphasis on building skills that translate directly to the field.
How I can help you improve
I help athletes develop the technical skills, football IQ, and confidence needed to become more complete football players. My training specializes in special teams fundamentals, including coverage techniques, pursuit angles, blocking, and situational awareness, along with wide receiver and running back development. Athletes can expect focused instruction on footwork, route running, catching mechanics, ball security, and position-specific techniques. Every session is tailored to individual strengths, weaknesses, and goals, emphasizing proper fundamentals and translating practice into game-day performance.
A typical training session
Each training session begins with a dynamic warm-up and position-specific footwork drills before progressing into technical instruction tailored to the athlete's experience and goals. Depending on the position, we focus on route running, catching, ball security, blocking, pursuit angles, or special teams responsibilities. As the session progresses, athletes work through game-like scenarios designed to improve execution, reaction time, and decision-making. We conclude with constructive feedback and specific areas to continue developing, ensuring every athlete leaves with a clear understanding of their progress and what they need to improve.
Career & accomplishments
I coached football at Liberty High School in Kissimmee, Florida, serving as Special Teams Coordinator and Wide Receivers Coach. My responsibilities included developing special teams strategies, organizing practices, teaching position-specific techniques, and preparing athletes for game-day execution. I hold the NFHS Level 3 and Certified Interscholastic Coach (CIC) designations, a Florida Athletic Coaching Certificate, and CPR/AED certification. My background in education also provides valuable experience in mentorship, communication, and adapting instruction to help athletes of different skill levels succeed.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I have had the opportunity to work alongside is Janko Beras. As a head coach, he challenged me to grow and held me to a high standard while always making it clear that he genuinely cared about my development as a coach and as a person. He showed me that accountability and encouragement can, and should, go hand in hand. That experience helped shape my own coaching philosophy: set high expectations, coach athletes hard, teach them the “why,” recognize their growth, and never lose sight of the person underneath the helmet.
What athletes & parents should know
I take the responsibility of coaching young athletes seriously. My goal is to create a positive, competitive environment where athletes can make mistakes, learn, and improve without being afraid to be coached. Parents can expect honest communication, professionalism, and an emphasis on fundamentals and development. Athletes can expect energy, accountability, encouragement, and a coach who is genuinely invested in helping them get better.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
