To help athletes grow and enjoy the process
Having played various levels of collegiate volleyball and beach volleyball, I know what it takes to improve on and off the court.

About Me:
Starting competitive volleyball at 8 years old, I started out as a setter. by 13 years old, I played libero, middle and set for three separate teams in one club season. In 9th grade, I started as the varsity libero at Green Canyon High School, and in club season I was a right side, libero and a setter once again. By 10th grade I started as one of the varsity outsides for Sky View High School, where we won the state tournament in straight sets for 4A in Utah. That club season, I pursued my path of being an outside/libero for mutliple teams once again, before my junior year where we placed 3rd at state, and I earned Herald Journal All Valley Player of the Year. The following club season was covid, but I spent what time we had playing outside and I commited to play libero for Utah State University. In 2020, we won 4A state and I recieved the Herald Journal All-Valley Player of the year again. My senior season in club consisted of playing whatever position I was needed for.
At USU in 2021, we won the Mountain West Conference for the first time in USU's history. In 2022, I transferred to USU Eastern to play outside, and we finished 10th in the nation. In 2023, I continued my education and my pursuit as an outside hitter at the College of Idaho, where we made it to the openning round of nationals for the first time since before the epidemic. I began my first ever beach volleyball season that following spring in 2024, and finished my indoor career in December 2024, at the NAIA nationals final site, finishing 17th out of 261 programs. I'm going to play my final collegiate season and my degree this Spring in April, 2025. Below is a list of all awards won, excluding in-team ones.

How I can help you improve your game:
I believe the best way to help those improve their game is prioritizing the fundamentals; advanced movments are the basic movments done correctly. By adjusting skills and movements to be more simple, bad habits can be broken and good habits can be built through effectice repition. By the end of the training, I aim to have the athlete recognize what they did wrong in their skill(s) or movement, and recognize what they did right, so they can learn to make self adjustments.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A training session for volleyball is generally between 1-2 hours, though I don't recommend more than 90 minutes for one singular athlete. I recommend the athlete shows up 10 minutes early to put their equipment on and so I can lead them in a warmup. After warmup, I use basic drills to evalute their current skill level, habits, and what drills I can incorporate to help them improve. This evalution will not take up more than 20 minutes, no matter how many skills they want to cover. The rest of the lesson consists of the skill at its basic level, then working on separate parts before bringing multiple parts together at the end. If an athlete has more than one skill they would like to improve, it's their choice on if they want to work on them all in one lesson, or seperate each lesson to practice each skill.
For a speed and strength session, they typically wont last longer than an hour. Have the athlete show up 5-10 minutes early in case they need to change or switch shoes. They will then go through a guided warmup that will help activate the right muscles, then jump into the workout. Generally this consists of 2-3 circuits and prioritizes movement over maxes, so loads will start light. I will guide them through the process the whole way, ensuring they lift and move with safety. For more speed work ontop of strength, their will be access to a gym, agility ladder and various equipment.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I started coaching AAU club volleyball at the age of 16, where I coached two teams in 6th and 7th grade. By the age of 18, I was hired by Nike to help coach a 4 day volleyball skill camp and coached a 9th grade club team that year as well. In 2022, I started coaching for Adidas Revolution Sports Camps in Salt Lake City, UT, and started private lessons for girls and boys ranging from ages 12-17 in any position, for any skillset. Now by 2025, I continue to coach club, coach for Revolution Sports in UT and Idaho, and provide private lessons for any athletes asking for help. For future plans, I hope to assistant coach for a high school team in the fall ontop of where I'm already coaching. With coaching experience for speed and strength, I just earned my exercise science degree for personal training and sport performance. This summer, I plan on receiving my offical certification. Starting in 2021, I underwent sport performance coaching myself to jump higher, run faster, at a county business. It was training there and training under Jimmie Stitz, I found a passion for the results I would get. From there I pursued my career path under exercise science, interned under a sports performance facility in 2024 called Off the Field, and have written workout plans for those around me.

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!
