About Me:
I’ve been passionate about football my entire life, with a special love for playing wide receiver, where I honed my skills in speed, agility, and precision. Over the years, I’ve expanded my involvement by coaching kids and flag football for the past year and a half, where I’ve shared my knowledge of the game, built teamwork, and helped players develop both their technical and mental skills. My experience as a player and coach allows me to connect with athletes at all levels, teaching them not only the fundamentals of football but also the mindset needed to succeed on and off the field.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve their game by starting with the fundamentals, particularly for wide receivers. First, I assess their ability to catch and locate the ball, focusing on drills that develop these critical skills, such as tracking the ball in the air and timing the catch. I also place a strong emphasis on footwork, because proper footwork is essential for route running and overall performance. If needed, I’ll work on refining their technique to ensure they’re moving efficiently. Once the individual skills are solid, I put everything together in game-like scenarios to evaluate how well the drills translate to actual performance, making adjustments as necessary to ensure continuous improvement.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me is broken down into focused phases to ensure steady improvement. In the first few weeks, we focus heavily on catching, using a variety of drills to help athletes develop hand-eye coordination and consistency. During the next phase, we shift to tracking and locating the ball in the air, honing skills to track the ball's trajectory and improve timing for successful catches. In the third phase, we work on footwork and ladder drills to enhance agility, quickness, and balance—crucial for route running and overall movement. Finally, once the athlete has mastered these fundamentals, we move on to route running, where I integrate all the skills learned to ensure fluid and effective execution during actual game situations. This structured approach builds confidence and sharpens skills step by step.
Career summary and accomplishments:
As a coach, I focus on players who have strong attention to detail and a genuine desire to learn. I go above and beyond by coaching kids off the clock, ensuring they not only have a great experience but also develop a deep understanding of the game. My goal is to help them grow into knowledgeable, well-rounded players. In addition to my experience with traditional football, I’ve also coached flag football, where I’ve been able to apply my passion for teaching and coaching to players of all ages.
Best coach I ever had:
My equipment coach was my best coach because he was the one person who truly saw my potential and believed in my abilities, even when I struggled with motivation. His unwavering support and constant encouragement pushed me to believe in myself, and I'll be forever grateful for the impact he had on my growth, both as a player and as a person.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I’m a caring and passionate coach who is deeply committed to helping players succeed. I love watching individuals reach their goals, even when they don’t believe in themselves, and I’m always there to motivate and push them further. I’m also currently pursuing a degree in Physical Education and Kinesiology in college, which allows me to bring a deeper understanding of fitness, movement, and coaching techniques to help athletes perform at their 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.
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!
