About Me:
I'm a passionate endurance athlete, competitive triathlete, and lifelong cyclist who believes great coaching is built on trust, consistency, and smart training. I combine evidence-based coaching with real-world racing experience to create training plans that fit your life, not the other way around. My goal is simple: help you become stronger, faster, healthier, and enjoy the journey.
How I can help you improve your game:
Every athlete is unique. I analyze your current fitness, race goals, heart rate, pace, power, and recovery to build a personalized plan that develops endurance, speed, and confidence. I also help with race strategy, nutrition, hydration, pacing, transitions, and mental preparation so you're ready on race day.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Every workout has a purpose. You'll receive detailed instructions including warm-up, main intervals, target heart rate or pace, cooldown, and post-workout feedback. We focus on quality over quantity while monitoring fatigue to maximize improvement and reduce injury risk.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I've spent decades competing in endurance sports and continue to race and train as a triathlete. My coaching combines personal racing experience with modern sports science and performance data. Outside of coaching, I have extensive experience in analytics and performance optimization, bringing the same data-driven mindset to athletic development.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coaches I've learned from shared one thing in common: they cared about the athlete as much as the result. They challenged me, explained the purpose behind every workout, and believed consistency beats perfection. That's the same coaching philosophy I bring to every athlete I work with.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I believe every athlete deserves honest coaching, individual attention, and a plan built around their goals. I'll always communicate openly, explain the purpose behind each workout, and adjust training when life happens. My priority is long-term health, confidence, and consistent progress not burnout. Whether you're a beginner, a junior athlete, or an experienced triathlete chasing a personal best, you can expect encouragement, accountability, and a coach who is genuinely invested in your success both on and off the race course.

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.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
