Get to know Coach John
About Me:
I've played football for 15 years. That's over 60% of my life! I've played almost every position on the field but focused on Linebacker and Edge Rusher later on in my career. I still hold the title for all time leading tackles of my high school team - the Sandhills Titans. After my high school years I played 5 years of college football for St. Andrews University where I was a 3 year starter at OLB and Edge leading the team in sacks and TFLs in the 2024 season. In that same season I broke the AAC conference records for TFLs in a game with 5.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help an athlete improve their game by finding their strengths and capitalizing on what they do best while also finding their weaknesses and working progressively to make them less of a liability and more of a useful ability.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each session will begin with stretching and dynamic warmups and progress to speed and agility work, ending with some power goal based exercises and some light conditioning. I believe every athlete is different which means every athletes training should be different. We'll work together to find exactly what works for each individual athlete to help them become exactly who they want to be!
Career summary and accomplishments:
Fayetteville Guard High School Defensive Coordinator
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I've ever had was coach Ronald Geddie. He was the best coach I ever had because of the simple fact that he wanted to win and knew how to bring the best out of his players in order to get the win. He treated everyone the same and always knew how to bring the fire out of all of us. I'm thankful for coach Ronald Geddie to this day!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a very passionate and energetic person. I want the athletes that I coach to be great, not for my sake but for theirs. Football strongly influenced my life and I want other athletes to feel the same way I felt about it for so long. My one and only objective is to help push each athlete to their max potential so that one day they will want to give back the way that I am giving back now. Of course after their professional career is over!

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!
