Train The Brain: The Practice Of Self-Mastery.
No one is fit to lead others until they are master of themselves. I help athletes, coaches, and parents build Mental Fitness, developing the awareness and skills necessary to lead with intentional choice rather than react on autopilot; in sport and in life. Sport provides one of the greatest opportunities to develop human potential. My role is to train a system that does not rely on motivation and helps people improve how they perform, communicate, lead, and navigate obstacles. The Practice of Self-Mastery is the process, the system, and the destination. As we work on it, it works on us. A negative mindset will never produce a positive life or peak performance.

About Me:
My coaching philosophy is rooted in the belief: No one is fit to lead others until they are master of themselves.
My focus is Mental Fitness, developing the awareness and skills necessary to lead ourselves with intentional choice rather than react on autopilot, in sport and in life.
How I can help you improve your game:
Sport provides one of the greatest opportunities to develop human potential. Pressure, adversity, competition, success, failure, leadership, teamwork, and relationships are all revealed along the way. This is where we see and turn obstacles into opportunity.
My role is to train a system that does not rely on motivation and to help athletes become more aware of how they show up, improve, perform, communicate, and lead.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
In the beginning there is a sequence.
We identify strengths, obstacles, opportunities, and patterns.
Develop awareness.
Build skills.
Once the foundation is set we apply those skills to sport and life.
Then we practice with lots and lots of reps.

The Practice of Self-Mastery is the process, system, and destination. A practice for a lifetime.

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.
Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.
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!
