Get to know James
Train with a former D1 athlete for elite physical, mental, and academic growth.
Elite, experience-driven performance coaching from a Dartmouth Division I track athlete and former Houston 6A dual-sport standout, delivering a comprehensive program that unites physical training with mental and academic preparation.
How I can help you improve
I help athletes translate talent into consistent, high‑level performance by integrating sports philosophy and mental preparation into daily training and competition. My approach equips you to make clearer decisions under pressure, sustain confidence through adversity, and align your habits with long‑term goals.
I draw on my experience as a Division I athlete and my work with student‑athletes to provide practical tools you can apply immediately.
A typical training session
I divide the session into two integrated phases that emphasize mental preparation and sports philosophy early, and applied practice and physical training thereafter, with intentional carryover between phases.

Undefeated Flag Football Coaching Career
Best coach I ever had
One of the most influential figures in my athletic journey was Coach Carter, my high school football positions coach. His unique blend of Division I and professional experience, combined with a relatable demeanor, made every practice both strict and exciting. Coach Carter's ability to maintain high standards while ensuring the environment was fun and engaging left a lasting impact on me. His approach taught me the importance of balancing discipline with enjoyment, a philosophy I carry into my own coaching today.
What athletes & parents should know
I bring a teaching and coaching perspective to my practice, drawing on experience as a middle school summer camp instructor and as a karate coach. Those roles sharpened my communication, mentorship, and leadership skills—qualities I rely on every day in client counseling and courtroom advocacy. I also come from a family with multiple Division I and professional athletes, a background that instilled a deep respect for preparation, resilience, and high performance.

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!
