Coach with purpose, compete with discipline, finish with heart.
I’m a coach and educator who builds disciplined, high-effort teams rooted in accountability, leadership, and development. With experience across football, basketball, and track, I focus on teaching athletes how to compete the right way—physically, mentally, and emotionally. My approach blends structure with motivation, creating a culture where athletes understand their role, trust the process, and perform under pressure. Whether in the classroom or on the field, my goal is simple: develop young people into confident, prepared competitors who know how to finish.

About Me:
I’m Coach Isaac, a coach, educator, and competitor at heart. I currently serve as a physical education teacher, assistant football coach, and head high school track coach in Mississippi. I’ve spent nearly a decade working with student-athletes at multiple levels, helping them grow both on and off the field.
Sports have always been a major part of my life—not just playing and coaching, but understanding what it takes to build winning teams and strong individuals. I believe in doing things the right way: discipline, accountability, and consistent effort. I bring energy, structure, and real-world coaching experience to everything I do.
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus on developing the total athlete—speed, strength, fundamentals, and mindset. Whether you’re trying to get faster, improve your position skills, or just become more confident in your game, I break things down in a way that makes sense and gets results.
I teach athletes how to:
Move more efficiently (speed & agility)
Understand the game, not just play it
Build confidence through preparation
Compete with discipline and consistency
My goal is not just to make you better for one season—but to give you tools that last your entire career.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Every session is structured, purposeful, and competitive. We don’t waste reps.
A typical session includes:
Dynamic warm-up (mobility, activation, injury prevention)
Speed & agility work (explosiveness, footwork, reaction)
Position-specific drills (football, track, or general athletic development)
Competition phase (races, 1-on-1s, or performance challenges)
Coaching feedback & adjustments
You’ll leave every session knowing exactly what you improved—and what we’re working on next.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Nearly 10 years of coaching and teaching experience
Current Head Boys Track Coach (High School)
Assistant Football Coach (High School and Middle School levels)
Former Head Basketball Coach (Louisiana)
Experience coaching multiple sports and age groups
Proven ability to develop athletes in speed, conditioning, and fundamentals
Currently pursuing advanced degrees in Educational Leadership
I bring both experience and continuous learning to my coaching approach.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coaches I’ve had were the ones who demanded accountability but also believed in their players. They didn’t just coach talent—they built discipline, character, and confidence.
That’s what stuck with me.
They taught me that coaching isn’t just about winning games—it’s about preparing athletes for pressure, adversity, and success in life. That’s the standard I carry into my own coaching today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I care about development, not shortcuts.
I’m going to push athletes to be better—but I’m also going to support them, teach them, and hold them accountable. I believe in clear communication, consistency, and creating an environment where athletes can grow with confidence.
Parents can expect professionalism, structure, and a coach who truly invests in their child’s progress.
Athletes can expect to be challenged—but also to improve.
And I’ll always keep it real with you… if you’re willing to work, I’m willing to go all in to help you reach your goals.

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 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!
