About Me:
Growing up I played all kinds of sports up to middle school, taking basketball & track seriously once high school began. I had competed in multiple summer AAU/Club seasons in the respective sports before I ever wore a HS jersey. As a High Schooler in Missouri, I competed in all event groups and qualified for state in 4 different events through my career. This was accompanied by repeated AAU National Championship All-American Statuses.
How I can help you improve your game:
As a decathlete, balancing many events requires focusing on all areas of performance in a holistic manner. I believe this approach benefits every athlete, and the skills they take away from my sessions should translate to other sports and a lifetime of athletics & fitness. I encompass the technical, physical and mental game that each event uniquely challenges the athlete in.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Preparing the body for a workout requires proper warm-up, including mental preparation. Taking ample time for mobility and activation, my sessions would be primarily geared towards the overall goals of the athlete/parents. By employing a variety of drills, visualization, and technique work, each athlete should walk away from each session with tangible growth in their understanding & confidence.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have mentored and coached peers and near peers as a part of my own development throughout my career. Coupling that with formal personal training experience post-High School that accompanied a decorated college career at UNC, I am prepared to bring your athlete to the next level in their Track & Field goals.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Gordon was my high school pole vault coach, he made a point of getting to know each athlete on a personal level before we got too far into practices. He truly understood us and our motivators, which enabled him to bring the best out of us. This especially helped us excel at meets, where mentality trumps all.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Experienced with all field event areas, hurdles, and a number of race distances. Extensive strength & conditioning experience with sports-specific power/speed development. Versatile problem solver with leadership and mentor experience from BSA as an Eagle Scout & various captain positions throughout my athletic career. Not a distance coach

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
