About Me:
I’m a former college baseball player with experience in player development and baseball analytics for USC baseball program. Through my playing career at Lander University and Southern Wesleyan, I developed a strong understanding of the game and the work it takes to improve both on and off the field. I’m currently a graduate student completing a dual MBA/MSEM program at the University of South Carolina. I love the game of baseball and enjoy playing a part in seeing athletes improve their game.
How I can help you improve your game:
My goal as a coach is to help athletes improve both their physical skills and their understanding of the game. Drawing from my experience as a former college baseball player and my background in baseball analytics, I focus on helping players build strong fundamentals, improve confidence, and develop smarter habits that translate directly onto the field. Every athlete is different, so I tailor instruction to each player’s strengths, weaknesses, and goals to help them continue improving and competing at a higher level.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Sessions are tailored to each player’s skill level and goals, whether that’s hitting, fielding, throwing, or overall baseball development. I like to keep practices competitive and positive while emphasizing consistency, confidence, and game-like reps that translate directly onto the field. I also try to make sure that the sessions will be enjoyable, just as the game of baseball should be.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Scouting and Analytics for the University of South Carolina baseball team
Southern Wesleyan University & Lander University relief pitcher. Competed in Conference Carolinas, best D2 baseball conference in the country.
Masters of Business Administration from the University of South Carolina, Bachelors from Southern Wesleyan University.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Coach Buck from Lander University. Buck wanted to ensure that we developed as players and win as a team, but he also truly cared about our well-being and how much we enjoyed our time as college baseball players.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I understand and remember how it was at any phase their athlete is currently at. I have experienced it and I appreciate the hard work and dedication it takes for the athletes to succeed, and maybe even more so the hard work of the parents who support them financially, with rides, at games, and at all other times. I want the player and myself to enjoy our lessons and time together, and I truly care about the development and success of any player I help coach.

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.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
