About Me:
*I will be unavailable May 1-5, 2026, but will be available other days (Tues-Fri)*
I’ve played sports my whole life, so I understand how much of performance comes down to mindset. With a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I’ve combined my education with real athletic experience to help players overcome nerves, bounce back from mistakes, and stay confident under pressure.
Whether it’s striking out and resetting in baseball or staying locked in during a high-pressure soccer match, I help athletes build the mental tools they need to stay focused, confident, and in control. My approach is practical, simple, and built for real game situations—not just theory.
How I can help you improve your game:
In competition, mistakes, nerves, and pressure are unavoidable—but what separates great athletes is how quickly they recover. I work with players to reset after setbacks, refocus their attention on the present moment, and perform with confidence and clarity when it matters most.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
My approach combines psychological principles with real athletic experience, giving athletes practical tools they can use immediately in games and training. Whether it’s stepping up to the plate after a strikeout or staying composed during a high-pressure soccer match, I help athletes build the mindset to stay locked in and trust their abilities.
I'd love to start with simply discussing with the athlete deeper into how their mindset is and what their worries and hopes are from our sessions! From their, I will structure a realistic and attainable plan that will help the athlete with their specific sport for practice and competition. Or if an athlete is injured and trying to cope with injury and their sport, I will build a plan to reset the mind into taking their injury from something stressful to more manageable.
Career summary and accomplishments:
My biggest accomplishments up to now would have to of been earning my B.S. in Psychology, being an intern with Stanford Athletics and having teaching experience in South Korea! As for coaching, I'm fairly new, as I have just begun my steps for my own future career, but I can guarantee that I will give my all into coaching with you!
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was back in middle school from my track and field team! At the time females were not known to be in shot put, so I was the only girl on the team at my middle school. My coach was so supportive of me and trained me 1-on-1 on how to become a great shot put athlete! He was always there for me, even when I was at my worst and thought it was daunting being one of few women in a male dominated sport. Because of that coach I went on to take 2nd place in my state for girls shot put and broke a new record for my middle school with a distance of 39.5 feet with a 6lb shot put! I wouldn't have been able to achieve that without my coach. I want to be like that with my athletes!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I will do my absolute best to be supportive and build personal plans that work best for you, in order for you to perform your best!

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.

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.
