About Me:
I was a team captain of the Monmouth Field Hockey team. I am a MAAC Champion, a two-time America East Regular-Season Conference Champion, and a CAA Regular-Season Conference Champion. During all five years of my collegiate career, I have earned the NFHCA All-Academic Team and was awarded Scholar of Distinction 2 times for earning a 4.0 GPA. In High-School, I was a First Team All-Star in Lancaster County.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can coach players to play to their strengths. An important part of being a great player is knowing yourself as an athlete. Identify your strengths, and make a plan to improve on your weaknesses. I also have a large skill set for on the field and can coach mentality which is equally important.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me will properly warm up skills to execute at the highest level. My sessions focus heavily on basic skills such as receiving, passing, elimination skills, defense, and hitting the ball. Receiving is most important because if you can not receive the ball, you can not play the game. As a player progresses through my training, we will bring in new skills gradually to master over time.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached one-on-one private lessons for 4 years. I have been coaching high-school camps and college clinics for 6 years. I have experience coaching individuals, pairs, small groups, and teams. I have coached players who are just starting up to players about to enter their college careers.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Jess Shelemberger of Next Level Field Hockey because she only accepts the best. The best effort, the best execution, and the best attitude. She has pushed me to be the best player and person I can be and was able to adapt her coaching to my playing level throughout my career. Jess Shelemberger taught me how to play not only good field hockey but smart field hockey. She is the one coach that incorporated my brain into the game which helped me excel as a player.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a hard worker over everything. I truly believe hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. If you have the drive to succeed you will be successful. Through overcoming growing pains as an athlete in my college career, I can help athletes improve in different areas unique to their game. I have a lot of experience from being on teams and coaching myself that will be applicable to many players. I can teach players how to play to their strengths to be the best athlete they can be.

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!
