Get to know Coach Gillian
About Me:
I have pitched for almost my entire life! I played for state championships at rec ball and SCHSL levels. I have also had lots of mound time in travel ball, and I played for Univeristy of South Carolina Union in 2023!
How I can help you improve your game:
I am big on mechanics, instead of focusing on the big picture I look for places where you can improve even by 1%. Small things can make a big difference when it comes to pitching, and I can help you improve your game one step at a time!
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I like to start with dynamic stretching and warmups specified to you. Depending on what you struggle with or what we have planned to work on that week, we may spend a lot of the session doing pitching exercises specified to one area of improvement, and get in as many pitches as we can at the end! I like for my players to have a notebook so they can jot down important points and things to work on until next time.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Getting chosen for the all american team when I played at USC Union, as well as getting all region player in High school.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my hitting coach located in Georgia who took a wildly different approach than any other coach had. He was always very encouraging and kept me accountable. lessons were both fun and hard work.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
My focus is pitching. I have lots of knowledge to give and tools to help your athlete exceed. I expect practice outside of lessons and I like to be updated on how things are going in between lessons (especially if they are further apart) but this is not a necessary part! You do have to provide your own catcher! (whether that be a parent or a fellow player is up to you!). I am all about keeping it fun but I also expect hard work!

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!
