About Me:
I’m a former Marine with a strong foundation in discipline, leadership, and mental resilience. After my service, I transitioned to coaching, where I’ve guided high school basketball teams in Australia and soccer teams in Japan. My coaching experience spans multiple cultures, where I’ve helped athletes develop not just their skills, but their mindset, building teamwork, perseverance, and mental toughness. With a unique blend of military experience and international coaching, I bring a results-driven, cross-cultural approach to developing strong, resilient individuals and teams.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help someone improve their game by focusing on both their physical and mental development. With my background in the Marine Corps and coaching, I emphasize mental toughness, discipline, and resilience—traits that are just as crucial as technical skills. I’ll help athletes stay focused under pressure, overcome setbacks, and develop the mindset needed to consistently perform at their best. Through personalized coaching, goal-setting, and tailored strategies, I’ll guide them in building confidence, mastering their mental game, and unlocking their true potential to elevate their performance.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me starts with a brief mindset check-in, where we focus on goal-setting, visualizing success, and mentally preparing for the work ahead. Then, we move into dynamic stretching to warm up the body and prepare for the intensity of the drills. The main portion of the session focuses on sport-specific skills and mental conditioning, where I challenge athletes to push through discomfort, stay focused under pressure, and break mental barriers. After the intense work, we transition into a cool-down phase, including static stretching and a reflection period to review progress, reinforce mental strategies, and set goals for the next session. The goal is to leave each session stronger, more resilient, and ready to tackle challenges both mentally and physically.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have a diverse coaching background, having led a high school basketball team in Australia and a soccer team in Japan. Drawing from my Marine Corps experience, I focus on developing athletes' mental toughness, discipline, and resilience, alongside their technical skills. I prioritize building strong, confident individuals who can perform under pressure and overcome challenges, both on and off the field. My approach is tailored to help each athlete unlock their full potential and thrive in any competitive environment.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was SSgt Law. His approach to mental toughness transformed the way I viewed challenges and adversity. He didn’t just teach me to push through the tough moments; he taught me to embrace discomfort, stay focused under pressure, and always keep moving forward, no matter how hard things got. His leadership wasn’t about giving orders—it was about instilling a mindset that made you believe you could accomplish anything, no matter the obstacles. His impact on my mental toughness still drives me today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I’m deeply committed to developing not just skills, but the mental resilience necessary for success both on and off the field. With my background as a Marine and experience coaching in diverse international settings, I bring a unique, disciplined approach to training that emphasizes hard work, focus, and overcoming adversity. I believe in building strong foundations—teaching athletes how to handle pressure, bounce back from setbacks, and perform at their best when it counts. For me, coaching is about helping athletes become stronger, more confident individuals who can thrive in any environment.

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!
