Unlock the Mind. Elevate Performance.
Empowering athletes to compete with confidence, clarity, and heart. Performance isn’t just physical. It’s how you think under pressure. How you respond to mistakes. How you show up when the moment gets big. The athletes I work with learn how to: Focus on what they control Reset quickly Compete with confidence Perform freely Because the mind is the most powerful tool in sport.
How I can help you improve
I help athletes improve by strengthening the mental side of performance. Whether you're looking to build confidence, stay focused under pressure, bounce back from mistakes, or perform more consistently, I'll give you practical tools you can use in training and competition.
Every athlete is different, so I tailor my coaching to your goals, challenges, and sport. Together, we'll develop skills like confidence, focus, resilience, emotional regulation, visualization, goal setting, and pre-performance routines that help you compete at your best.
My goal isn't just to help you play better today—it's to help you develop the mindset and habits that lead to long-term success both in sports and in life. Whether you're trying to make the varsity team, earn a college scholarship, or simply enjoy your sport with more confidence, I'm here to help you unlock your full potential.
A typical training session
Every 30-minute session is personalized to the athlete's goals, sport, and current challenges, but most sessions follow a consistent structure.
We begin by checking in on recent practices or competitions and discussing what's been going well and where you've experienced challenges. From there, we'll focus on a specific mental performance skill—such as confidence, focus, emotional regulation, visualization, resilience, or performing under pressure—and explore how it applies to your sport and current situation.
You'll learn practical strategies and techniques that you can immediately apply in practices and competitions. Sessions often include guided mental skills exercises, performance reflections, scenario-based discussions, and the development of personalized routines or action plans. We'll also review progress from previous sessions, celebrate improvements, and adjust strategies as you continue to grow.
My coaching style is interactive, supportive, and athlete-centered. Rather than simply giving advice, I help athletes understand how their mindset influences performance and empower them with tools they can use independently. The goal is for every session to leave you feeling more confident, prepared, and equipped to perform at your best.

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!
