Get to know Coach Ethan
About Me:
I am a Colorado native, married with three kids, and a lifelong Broncos fan. I bring 20 years of competitive football experience in both tackle and flag football, along with over three years of coaching and officiating multiple sports. I have also gained valuable experience running recreational sports programs, focusing on development, organization, and positive athlete experiences. Outside of sports, I enjoy traveling and seeking out new experiences whenever I have the chance.
How I can help you improve your game:
I improve a player’s football game by emphasizing fundamentals, discipline, and accountability while tailoring coaching to each athlete’s strengths and position. Through detailed instruction, conditioning, and consistent feedback, I help players build confidence, football IQ, and physical toughness. My approach focuses on effort, preparation, and development, ensuring players grow both on the field and as competitors.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical football training session is fast-paced, structured, and focused on development. Sessions begin with a dynamic warm-up to improve mobility, flexibility, and injury prevention. This is followed by fundamental skill work, where players focus on position-specific techniques such as footwork, tackling, blocking, ball security, and route running.
After fundamentals, players transition into competitive drills that emphasize game-speed execution, decision-making, and situational awareness. Examples will be running through the agility ladder, T-drill, cutting drills, modified Oklahoma drill, etc.
Each session concludes with conditioning, accountability work, and a brief review and cool down stretch to reinforce key teaching points, expectations, goals and maintain flexibility and loose muscles. The overall focus is on effort, discipline, football IQ, and continuous improvement in a positive, competitive environment.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I bring 20 years of competitive football experience, beginning with earning a varsity role in high school as both a receiver and safety. I received scholarship offers from Division I programs but chose to pursue a free-tuition college scholarship while continuing to compete at a high level. During college, I began my flag football career, helping lead my team to multiple championship game appearances in highly competitive flag football leagues. This combination of tackle and flag football experience provides a well-rounded understanding of the game, player development, and competitive success.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was actually my older brother, Robbie, who played cornerback at Colorado State University. He went out of his way to spend extra training sessions with me to make me the best I could be and encourage me to go the extra mile.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I coach with high standards while creating a positive, supportive environment where athletes feel challenged, confident, and valued. I emphasize fundamentals, football IQ, and accountability to help players improve both on and off the field.
Communication and trust are important to me. I am transparent with expectations, provide consistent feedback, and work closely with athletes and parents to support growth. My goal is to help every athlete develop skills, confidence, and a love for the game while learning lessons that extend beyond football.

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!
