Get to know Coach Emelia
About Me:
I grew up in sport and learned early that talent only gets you so far. As a boxer chasing national and Olympic titles, I realized that greatness isn’t just physical—it’s mental. The athletes who separate themselves are the ones who can stay composed, confident, and focused when everything’s on the line.
That realization led me to pursue a career in mental performance. I’m now completing my master’s in Sport and Performance Psychology and working toward certification so I can help other athletes develop the same tools that changed my career. My coaching blends real competitive experience with practical, science-backed strategies to help athletes perform at their best—under pressure, in training, and in life.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes develop the mental skills that drive consistent performance—confidence, focus, and resilience. Through strategies like goal setting, visualization, and pressure management, you’ll learn to control your thoughts, reset after setbacks, and perform with confidence. My goal isn’t just to motivate you—it’s to help you build lasting tools you can use on your own, both in sport and in life.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each session starts with where you are—your goals, challenges, and current mindset. We’ll break down performance patterns, work through mental blocks, and build practical tools you can apply immediately in competition. My sessions are structured but conversational—challenging, supportive, and always focused on helping you grow as both an athlete and a person.
Career summary and accomplishments:
• Founder & Mental Performance Coach (in training) – Red Corner Consulting • 5x National Boxing Champion and Olympic-level competitor • Consultant for collegiate and semi-pro teams, including the Utah Islanders • Featured speaker at FightCon 2024 – “The Fighter’s Mindset” • M.S. in Sport & Performance Psychology (in progress) • Specialist in confidence, focus, resilience, and high-pressure performance
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my second boxing coach. He helped me understand that being great isn’t just physical—it’s mental. He taught me that staying motivated and excelling requires balance and skills that go beyond what you can teach in the gym. My favorite thing he used to say was, “Give me your nerves and I’ll hold on to them during the fight for you.” Even though it was a joke, it was my first introduction to how visualization and mindset can completely change performance.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’ve been where your athlete is. I’m not just speaking theory—I understand what it feels like to perform under pressure and how mental skills need to be received, practiced, and lived by the athlete. I’m empathetic but blunt; I’ll listen, but I’ll also challenge and push. My coaching combines compassion with accountability, because greatness requires both.
I want athletes to walk away with the confidence to use these tools on their own—on the field, in the ring, and in life. While I take pride in building strong relationships, my ultimate goal is independence: helping great athletes become even better through balance, focus, and mental toughness.

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.
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!
