Book Private Track-and-field Lessons with Coach Izaic
I have competed as a professional athlete with Brooks Running. I have performed at some of the highest levels and dedicated countless hours to pursuing excellence. I have traveled the world and operated on elite teams. One of my many accolades includes earning a silver medal at the 2018 USA Championships. Transferable this means the following: I am a self-starter, I understand how to communicate effectively, plan for long-term success, experienced and gained a holistic education around health/performance. What does this mean for your athlete? I understand how to program and periodize exercise from weight training to running and instill healthy habits. I can own mistakes, learn quickly, assess information quickly, and ensure long-term goals are met.

About Me:
As a mid-distance athlete, I competed for many years on the world stage as a professional athlete. Sponsored by Brooks Running I was a U.S. Championships Silver Medalist. Additionally, I have had the pleasure of representing Team USA on multiple occasions. Last, in college I was a 2x NCAA runner-up and at the time the fastest U.S. collegiate miler all-time.
How I can help you improve your game:
For every athlete, improvement looks different but the core remains the same. Following initial assessments of the athletes ( these include skills, psychology, neurotype, goals, durability, and current level) I will make a plan tailored to the individual needs. From there it's all about communication, education, and tweaking as needed.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session will include an initial assessment of the athlete's mood and state of recovery, followed by a structured warm-up into the day's session. We will close the day with auxiliary movement and cool-down techniques.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I’ve coached world-class athletes with Puma Elite in N.C. I know my way around elite teams, management thereof, and their needs to excel in pressing environments. Athletes I helped coach include names like Fiona O’Keefe, Patrick Dever, and Konstanze Klosterhalfen—to name a few. Additionally, I have tutored under some of the brightest minds in the sport of track and field: Danny Mackey, Dan Pfaff, Alistair Craig, and more. This does not include what I’ve learned from nutritionists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and more.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I've ever had was my professional coach, Danny T. Mackey. His depth of expertise, mentorship, and concern for the whole individual shapes how my coaching.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Parents should know that I am concerned with the totality of sport and coaching. I view my role as a mentor - to educate, guide, and develop. I am not the guy concerned with making your child an overnight star. My goal is to help them in a way that equips them with lasting growth and the tools to overcome the obstacles in their athletic pursuits.

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!
