About Me:
Originally from northeast Pennsylvania I have now slowly found my way migrating down south and currently reside in Georgia. I attended Penn State University, where I was an athlete their for one season. I graduated from Penn State with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Kinesiology. I then attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where I graduated with a master's degree in Kinesiology with an Applied Sport Psychology focus.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help you improve your game by bringing awareness to thoughts, emotions, and feelings that you may not even realize you are experiencing and therefore subconsciously affecting your game. Once this awareness is gained, we will work together to find the best forms of behavior interventions or implementation of mental skills to overcome said obstacles.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical 45 minute to an hour session looks like exploring each individual athletes immediate needs and concerns and then working together to find a plan that works best for them. This plan can include skill implementation, but also can be a dynamic working experience where we explore the athlete's mind to truly find what they feel can best help improve their performance.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have been doing mental performance work for two years working with Division I, II, and III programs as well as non-athlete populations. I enjoy creating a strong connection with athletes and clients to ensure a trustworthy working relationship that is the foundation for helping athletes and clients achieve their ultimate goals.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coaches I ever had were the ones who I absolutely hated at the time. It was only when things were said and done that I realized that they were so tough and hard on me because they truly wanted the best for me.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
As a former athlete, I have experience with the struggles, stresses, and unexpected funks that come from playing at highly competitive levels. I believe in the importance of normalizing these feelings, emotions, and struggles instead of looking at them in a negative light. We all experience different stressors and struggles in sports and life and it is important to implement proper behaviors to be able to handle them.

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.
