Every Goat was once a lamb.
Every Goat was once a lamb.
I help athletes unlock their full potential by combining strength and conditioning principles with individualized programming. My focus is on building strength, speed, and power while teaching proper technique and the ‘why’ behind the movement. As a coach, I strive to be the resource I wish I had back when I was in high school.

About Me:
Born & raised in Fairburn, GA, I’m a proud product of South Atlanta. I played football for 16 years as both an offensive and defensive lineman, starting with the Fairburn Flames in recreational ball. In high school, I played for the Creekside Seminoles, where I also competed in track & field, making it to state in shot put. I capped off my career at Furman University as a captain and member of the 2013 conference championship team.
How I can help you improve your game:
As a coach, I focus on key factors such as strength and conditioning, injury prevention, mental health, body & game IQ, and more. By integrating these elements, I help athletes enhance their performance while creating a safe space for them to learn, grow, and thrive.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session includes a dynamic warm-up, followed by a power/performance block, then strength training, core & conditioning work, and finishes with a cooldown. Each session lasts about 60 minutes.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I earned my degree in Kinesiology in 2017 and began my career as a strength coach at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I then advanced to LSU, where I was apart of the 2019 College Football National Championship team, before becoming a full-time Strength Coach at Southern University A&M College. Not only do I have extensive experience designing and implementing training programs for a variety of collegiate sports, but I’m also a certified stretch practitioner with specialized expertise in rehabilitation and stretch therapy.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was James Berry, father of Eric Berry. Coach Berry instilled in me the foundational qualities of being both a great athlete and, more importantly, a great person. The lessons he taught—true leadership, determination, integrity, showing up on time, winning with class, learning from losses, and having faith—still resonate with me today, beyond my athletic career.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
A good coach can change a game, but a great coach can change a life. I know what it feels like to be coached by someone who cares about you as opposed to a coach who doesn’t. That’s why for me the bonds I create with my athletes are just as if not more important than their athletic progression.
With everything going on in the world now it’s pivotal that I as a coach create a safe environment for today’s young athletes to improve and build confidence. Because at the end of the day these are just kids, and every kid just wants to be loved.

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!
