Get to know Eddie
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 provide position-specific training focused on the fundamentals that translate directly to game day. Depending on the athlete's position and goals, we can work on footwork, route running, releases, catching, ball security, technique, agility, football IQ, and special teams skills. I also help athletes understand the why behind what they are doing so they can play faster and more confidently.
A typical training session
Every session is built around the individual athlete. We will start with movement and position-specific warm-ups before progressing into fundamental technique, skill development, and game-like drills. I emphasize quality repetitions, immediate feedback, and correcting the small details that make a difference on Friday nights. We will finish by reviewing what improved and identifying what the athlete should continue working on between sessions.
Career & accomplishments
I have coached high school football with experience as a Wide Receivers Coach and Special Teams Coordinator. I hold a Florida Athletic Coaching Certificate, am an NFHS Certified Interscholastic Coach (CIC) and Level 3 Coach, and am CPR/AED certified. My experience has included position development, practice planning, game preparation, film study, and coordinating special teams.
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!
