About Me:
I’m a passionate and dedicated coach with experience working with youth and athletes in multiple sports, including track and field and basketball. My focus is on helping athletes develop not only their physical skills but also their confidence, discipline, and leadership. I take pride in building strong relationships with my athletes and creating a positive, motivating environment that brings out their best both on and off the field.
How I can help you improve your game:
I’ll help you strengthen your technique, boost endurance, and sharpen your mindset. My approach combines individualized feedback, performance drills, and mental conditioning to help you reach your goals. Whether it’s improving your speed, power, or confidence under pressure, I’ll push you to be your best while keeping training fun, focused, and supportive.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each session starts with a dynamic warm-up to prevent injury and prepare your body for peak performance. From there, we’ll move into skill-specific drills, conditioning exercises, and game-scenario training that match your goals. I emphasize consistent feedback, teamwork, and growth—finishing each session with reflection and motivation to carry into your next workout.Each session will get more difficulty to help athletes improve.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I began my coaching journey in Colorado, where I worked with youth and student-athletes in track and field, basketball, and leadership development. Over the years, I’ve helped athletes improve their performance, discipline, and confidence through personalized training and positive motivation. I earned my B.S. in Sports Psychology with a minor in Nutrition from the University of Northern Colorado (May 2025), combining mental performance strategies with physical training. My proudest accomplishments include mentoring athletes who achieved personal records, earned team leadership roles, and developed a lifelong love for the game.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Coach Mattio. She played a huge role in shaping the coach I am today by guiding me through my internship and giving me the opportunity to coach Division I women’s basketball athletes. Her mentorship taught me the importance of preparation, communication, and building relationships with players. Coach Mattio inspired me to lead with confidence, passion, and purpose—qualities I now strive to bring to every athlete I work with.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m a coach who leads with passion, patience, and purpose. I believe every athlete has unique potential, and my job is to bring it out through hard work, positive energy, and consistent support. I focus on developing not only strong athletes but strong people—teaching teamwork, discipline, and resilience that extend far beyond sports. Parents can trust that I’ll invest in their child’s success with the same care and dedication I’d give my own team.

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!
