About Me:
Gannon Women's Lacrosse Team Defenseman;
Body Armor State Games Player 3 years;
SWAC All Conference Honorable Mention;
13 Years of Lacrosse Experience
How I can help you improve your game:
Breaking everything down to the basics is the best way to fix bigger issues. A player can only improve if they understand what is holding them back, and that is my goal as a coach.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We start with a quick stretch and warmup. Based on skill level I will set up stick work drills to work on basics of passing, catching, groundballs, and cradling. Through that, we would pick a couple individual skills to work on, starting with small drills to get through the basics of that and building that up into a larger drill. While we cool down, we can discuss what they want to work on next time, or what they still don't understand.
Career summary and accomplishments:
YMCA summer camp lacrosse coach; Triangle Twisters developmental coach for 10U and 8U
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Craig Reist was one of the greatest long term coaches I ever had. He coached me all through high school and was able to put me on the collegiate path. The best private coach I ever had was Emma Trenchard, who played for UNC, and it was so obvious that she knew her stuff and was able to target exactly what I needed to improve.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have a very flexible schedule and will meet as often or as little as is needed. My practice plans will be open to input based on what I think is needed, what the player is interested in, and what the parents would like to see worked on. My experience with high level defensive training gives me an advantage in that area, however I am open to coach any position.

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!
