Book Private Track-and-field Lessons with Coach Elise
Hello everyone! My name is (Coach) Ellie and I am an experienced track and field athlete and coach! I started coaching right out of high school due to my love and passion for track and field. I was a collegiate track athlete for 1 year but unfortunately had to hang up my spikes because of health reasons. This has never stopped me from being a part of the track and field community. I believe in caring for the wellbeing of student athletes above all else but still strive to push young athletes forward in their athletic paths.

How I can help you improve your game:
I want to act as a mentor for young athletes' in their athletic performances and mental wellbeing. I want to provide a safe space for young athletes to fall in love with track and field so they may push themselves further. By being a private coach I want to show them it's fun and that it's okay to fail. Failure just means there is room for improvement!
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Track and field is a unique sport that encompasses so many different athletic abilities that I am happy to work with. Our first training session will start with an introduction of who I am and who the athlete is (just to get to know each other and help me better under the athlete's goals!). A private training session always starts with a good warm up session followed by a detailed workout plan created to fit the athlete's chosen event and a slow cool down. Athletes will bring a notebook to journal how they feel, what they want to improve on, practice goal setting, etc.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I started coaching in March of 2020 but was unfortunately interrupted by the pandemic. I came back later in 2020 and was the modified cross country coach. This experience, though regulated by COVID rules, was nothing short of AWESOME! This made me realize I wanted to coach more. I came back to be the assistant track and field coach in 2021 and 2024.
Best coach I ever had:
Easily my track and field coach from high school. Not only did he encourage me to strive to be the best, but was a shoulder to lean on when I faced difficulties. Athletes are people too and we all need a hug here and there!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have always said track and field is the love of my life. In high school I would eat, sleep, breathe track and field. My notebooks and papers were filled with hurdle steps and pentathlon scores. The track is truly my happy place and I would love nothing more than to share that with young athletes striving to love it as well.

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.
