Book Lessons with Coach Griffin
An athlete helping athletes build skills, confidence, and a love for the game.
I know what it's like to be the player putting in extra work, trying to earn a spot in the lineup, and wanting to get better every day. My goal is to help athletes develop confidence, learn how to compete, and understand the game at a deeper level, not just improve their skills. I believe the best players are built through consistency, hard work, and a positive mindset. Whether you're new to softball or have big goals for the future, I'll create a fun and challenging environment that helps you grow as both a player and a person.

About Me:
Hi! I'm Griffin, and I recently completed my freshman year as a Division I softball player at Quinnipiac University, where I'm studying Health Sciences. I've played competitive softball for most of my life, including 5–6 years with Connecticut Impact and four years of varsity softball in high school. As a senior captain, I helped lead my team to a state championship appearance and earned FCIAC First Team, FCIAC Second Team, and All-State honors throughout my career. I love helping younger athletes build confidence, improve their skills, and enjoy the game as much as I do.
How I can help you improve your game:
Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your game to the next level, I can help you improve your hitting, fielding, throwing mechanics, softball IQ, and confidence. As a current Division I athlete, I understand what it takes to develop your skills and compete at a high level. My goal is to help players build strong fundamentals while creating a positive environment where they feel comfortable learning and asking questions.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Every lesson is tailored to the athlete's age, skill level, and goals. We'll start by identifying what you'd like to work on and then focus on drills that directly translate to game situations. I believe in keeping sessions upbeat, challenging, and productive while providing plenty of feedback and encouragement. Athletes can expect to leave each lesson with a better understanding of their game and specific things to work on moving forward.

Best coach I ever had:
The best coaches were my Impact coaches who cared about me as a person just as much as they cared about me as an athlete. They pushed me to be my best, held me accountable, and always believed in me even when I doubted myself. They taught me that confidence, work ethic, and attitude are just as important as talent. Those are the same qualities I try to bring to every athlete I work with.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am passionate about helping young athletes succeed and making sure they enjoy the game along the way. As a current Division I softball player, I know how important good coaching and mentorship can be. I strive to create a positive, encouraging environment where athletes feel comfortable learning, making mistakes, and growing. Parents can expect clear communication, professionalism, and a coach who genuinely cares about their athlete's development both on and off the field.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.
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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
