Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.
As an RGV native who grew up in McAllen, I understand the values and challenges of our community. My high school football career was a testament to hard work and dedication, earning me offers from multiple colleges across all divisions. Although injuries and the competitive nature of higher-level sports shaped my journey, they also taught me resilience, perseverance, and the importance of character both on and off the field. I want to instill those same values in your kids, helping them develop not just as athletes but as individuals ready to tackle life’s challenges. With my firsthand experience and passion for mentoring young talent, I’m committed to creating a positive, growth-focused environment where your kids can thrive.

About Me:
In high school, my talents on the field caught the eyes of many universities. My off-the-field networking with multiple coaches and organizations allowed me to connect and further myself in my football journey. The biggest key parts that got me my scholarships and offers were my football IQ, mental strength in the game, and critical thinking. Of course being able to run, lift and hit harder is crucial too. I primarily played at Left Tackle but my other positions were defensive tackle, tight end, fullback, and sometimes linebacker.
How I can help you improve your game:
Working on speed, flexibility, agility, and strategic understanding of the game is how we take your skill to the next level. I plan to work on improving footwork, maintaining composure, blocking, block-shedding, and tweaking the little things that all others forget.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session starts with stretches and what I call a "status check", basically we are checking the mobility of the athlete. If properly stretched and mobile then we move on to working on footwork, hands, or blocking depending on the position of the athlete. On certain days if gameday film is available we will take the majority of the session studying film, calling out the wrongs, praising the small wins, and creating goals to better talent.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Parents, my coaching approach is shaped by a unique combination of experiences: my time as a football player and my success in business management leading teams to achieve their goals. Playing the game taught me strategy, discipline, and the importance of teamwork. Managing a team in a professional setting taught me how to guide individuals, build trust, and foster accountability. Together, these experiences enable me to coach your child not just as an athlete, but as a well-rounded individual, emphasizing hard work, leadership, and collaboration—skills that will serve them on and off the field.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my high school defensive coach during my senior year. I had just moved schools and was struggling to learn a new playbook in the middle of July’s conditioning season. The offensive line coach was frustrated, but the defensive coach saw the situation and stepped in. He pulled me aside, ran drills with me, and even considered me for a defensive tackle position, which boosted my confidence. This push also motivated the offensive line coach to dedicate extra time after practice to walk me through plays, improving my understanding and performance. Together, their belief in me and willingness to invest in my growth taught me the importance of leadership, adaptability, and supporting others.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
My main goal is to prepare you for the next level physically and mentally, prepare you to become a leader on and off the field, and to make sure you excel from where you started.

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 determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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!
