Get to know Coach Jake

About Me:

I'm Chicago native and lifelong athlete/coach. I believe quality movement is a key component not just to improving sports performance but to leading a long and quality life.

How I can help you improve your game:

I have over 6 years of experience working with athletes from youth to professional across a dozen different sports. I'm continuously expanding my knowledge on sports and training to be the best coach I can be.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

A quick check-in to make sure you're ready to go!. We'll start with a dynamic warmup to prime the body for the session. From there your goals dictate what the session will look like as it is tailored specifically to you.

Career summary and accomplishments:

6+ years of coaching experience; Sports Scientist/Strength & Conditioning Coach in professional rugby; Sports Data Scientist for 2025 USA Club Rugby Women's 7s National Champions and Men's National Runner-Up; privately coached athletes in MLB, NHL and NCAA DI

Best coach I ever had:

Dr. Brendan Meany, he was my high school rugby coach. I only played one season under him but the impact he had influenced my life and career path nearly a decade later. Without the values and love of rugby he instilled in me I never would have ended up working with the Chicago Hounds. I am fortunate enough to work alongside him now as he is the Mental Performance Coach for the Hounds.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

Athlete health and well-being is always my top priority. I always want my athletes to feel safe in their training environment. I aim to build quality relationships with all my athletes to ensure they achieve their maximum potential and I can match my coaching to their needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.
