Try Coach Jordain risk free. If you don't love your first lesson, we'll switch you to another coach or give you a full refund.
My name is Jordain "Dane" Brown but most just call me Coach! Over the past decade and a half I have been committed to uplifting and elevating young people. Both on and off the court or fields, not only with Player Development but also with assistance with Academic Tutoring and Test Prep as well. These days I am wholly devoted to establishing a new Standard of Athlete and have been on the forefront of the new NIL Era at both the High School and Collegiate Level.
I simply put things into perspective for you as an Athlete, I am not here to just challenge you. I am here to encourage your Growth, allow you to both recognize and actualize your potential. Overall I emphasize the mental aspect of Athletics while cultivating an environment that encourages athletes to excel physically as well.

I bring a diverse background spanning public service, nonprofit leadership, financial services, customer success, and construction management across the Forest Preserves of Cook County network and the Chicago area. Most recently, as a Permit Field Monitor, I implemented daily permit operations, led standardized data collection processes adopted systemwide, and documented compliance issues in coordination with the Forest Preserves of Cook County Police Department. Previously, as Partner Outreach Specialist at The SENECA Foundation, I collaborated with senior leadership to drive organizational strategy, strengthen governance, and cultivate partnerships across academic, donor, and government sectors. In financial services roles with WestPoint Financial Group and Northwestern Mutual, I developed client-centered wealth and risk management strategies while leading financial literacy initiatives for student-athletes nationwide. Earlier in my career, I supported client success and product optimization at Vail Systems and contributed to large-scale infrastructure projects with Joel Kennedy Construction Corp, strengthening my operational leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and community engagement expertise.

Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
