Train with me to unlock your full potential and have fun while doing it!
As a former Division 1 lacrosse player at Manhattan University, I’ve learned that success on and off the field is built on hard work, discipline, and a relentless pursuit of improvement. My coaching philosophy centers around the belief that every player has the potential to reach their highest level, and it's my job to help unlock that potential through a combination of technique, mental toughness, and teamwork. I believe in fostering an environment where athletes are challenged to grow, both as players and individuals. I emphasize the importance of fundamentals, strategic thinking, and resilience. The game of lacrosse is not just about physicality; it’s about decision-making, creativity, and adapting to the challenges that come with competition. I hold my players to high standards, but I also provide the support and encouragement needed to help them overcome obstacles. Success is not only measured by wins, but by the progress and growth made throughout the season. I strive to develop players who are disciplined, committed, and passionate about the game, while also helping them build character and life skills that will serve them beyond lacrosse. In my program, every player is valued, and every contribution counts. Together, we’ll push past limits, build lasting relationships, and strive for excellence in every practice, game, and moment.

What athletes and parents should know about me:
As a coach with a background as a former Division 1 lacrosse player at Manhattan University, I bring a deep understanding of the game, discipline, and the level of commitment required to succeed. Here’s what athletes and parents should know about me:
Commitment to Growth: My focus is on helping each athlete improve, not just in terms of skill, but also in mental toughness, leadership, and teamwork. I’m dedicated to making sure every player grows both on and off the field.
High Expectations with Support: I hold my athletes to a high standard because I know they’re capable of more than they might realize. That said, I provide the tools, guidance, and encouragement they need to reach their goals.
Teamwork is Key: While individual success is important, I prioritize building strong, supportive team dynamics. Success is achieved through collaboration, mutual respect, and working together to achieve common goals.
Honesty and Transparency: Communication is crucial. I believe in open, honest conversations with both athletes and parents to ensure everyone is on the same page and working toward the same objectives.
Life Lessons Through Sport: I believe sports teach valuable lessons beyond just the game—resilience, time management, accountability, and dealing with adversity. These are the principles I instill in my athletes to help them succeed in life, not just lacrosse.
Balance is Important: I understand the demands of school, sports, and life. I encourage a well-rounded approach, making sure athletes can excel in all areas of their lives, not just athletically.
In short, I’m committed to helping athletes reach their highest potential while fostering an environment of support, discipline, and teamwork. Together, we’ll make progress, achieve goals, and build a foundation for success, both in sports and life.

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!
