About Me:
A standout athlete from East Paulding High School, I dominated on the field, earning 5A Defensive Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year while leading the state in tackles from 2014-2016. My talent carried me to the collegiate level, where I played at Kentucky Christian and Kennesaw State, earning All-Freshman Team honors and starting as a freshman running back.
Pursuing the next level, I showcased elite athleticism at multiple professional combines and tryouts, excelling in key metrics:
🏋️♂️ 30 reps – Highest Bench Press at Pro Day
⚡ 4.50 sec – 40-Yard Dash
🛑 4.1 sec – Shuttle
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve their game by focusing on explosive strength, speed, agility, and mental toughness—the key components that set elite competitors apart. My training includes:
✅ Strength & Power Development – Building muscle and explosive force for better performance.
✅ Speed & Agility Training – Enhancing quickness, acceleration, and change of direction.
✅ Position-Specific Drills – Tailored workouts to improve skills relevant to their sport.
✅ Conditioning & Endurance – Increasing stamina for peak performance when it matters most.
✅ Mental Toughness & Discipline – Teaching athletes how to stay focused, push through adversity, and develop a winner’s mindset.
With my experience at the high school, and collegiate levels, I know what it takes to stand out. I provide personalized coaching, real feedback, and the right training techniques to help athletes reach their full potential and take their game to the next level.

Career summary and accomplishments:
I have minimal coaching experience but a deep understanding of high-level training and competition from my own football career. Having played at the high school, and collegiate levels. I know what it takes to develop strength, speed, and discipline. My experience training alongside elite athletes and competing in professional combines gives me first-hand knowledge of the skills and work ethic required to succeed. I'm passionate about helping athletes improve and bring a high-energy, results-driven approach to training.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I had was Coach Barrows at Kentucky Christian because he gave me the opportunity to start and compete as a freshman running back. He didn’t care about seniority or favoritism—he wanted players who were hungry to win. His belief in me pushed me to excel, and beyond football, he provided invaluable life lessons that had a huge impact on my early career.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Parents and athletes should know that I am a dedicated, experienced, and results-driven coach who has competed at high levels and understands what it takes to succeed. I don’t just train athletes—I develop them, focusing on discipline, work ethic, and mental toughness alongside speed, strength, and agility.
I’ve played at the high school, and collegiate levels earning top honors and proving myself through hard work, not favoritism. I know what coaches are looking for, and I prepare athletes to stand out and dominate in their sport.
Above all, I genuinely care about each athlete’s growth—on and off the field. My goal is to help them reach their full potential, build confidence, and succeed at the next level.

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!
