About Me:
I am a Certified Mental Performance Consultant with experience in both athletic and military settings, helping athletes, soldiers, and leaders optimize their mindset under pressure. I have worked with athletes from youth levels to professionals across multiple sports, helping them strengthen their focus, confidence, and resilience to perform at their best. As a former NCAA Division I baseball player, high school educator of nine years, and coach, I bring a unique blend of competitive, educational, and leadership experience to my work.
How I can help you improve your game:
Teach you skills and drills to help you overcome any adversity or struggle you are experiencing mentally in your game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We will spend the first 10-15 minutes discussing any recent competitions or practices and what your mental approach was. We will then introduce a new skill, and make sure you know exactly what the skills is and how it can help you. Then, we will get you to apply the skill, through interactions with me, practicing it on your own, and then applying it in competition. I will then prompt you with something to think about or work on until our next session.
Career summary and accomplishments:
As a CMPC, I help athletes build confidence, focus, and consistency. I’ve worked with athletes at all levels to overcome pressure, bounce back from setbacks, and perform their best when it counts. My past clients have expressed greater levels of enjoyment in their sport, great understanding of their thinking and how it impacts their performance, and greater levels of confidence in their ability to perform their tasks at the highest level.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had believed in me before I did, and pushed me to grow without losing sight of who I was as a person. That balance of support and challenge is what I try to bring to every athlete I work with.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I care about the person just as much as the performer. My goal is to make mental training practical, relatable, and something athletes actually enjoy using to compete with confidence.

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 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!
