Helping athletes develop elite speed, mechanics, and confidence
Helping athletes develop elite speed, mechanics, and confidence
I’m a former collegiate track and field athlete and performance coach specializing in sprinting, speed development, and jumping events. I work with athletes in the 100m, 200m, long jump, triple jump, and high jump, as well as athletes from other sports who want to improve their speed and explosiveness. My coaching focuses on sprint mechanics, acceleration, power, and building strong athletic foundations. I break down technique in a way that athletes can understand and apply immediately while creating an encouraging and high energy training environment. Whether an athlete is new to speed training or preparing for competition, my goal is to help them move faster, build confidence, and reach their full athletic potential.

About Me:
I’m a former collegiate track and field athlete and speed coach who is passionate about helping athletes unlock their full athletic potential. I specialize in sprinting, speed development, and jumping events including the 100m, 200m, long jump, triple jump, and high jump.
I work with athletes from many different sports because speed translates to everything. Whether you play football, soccer, basketball, or run track, improving acceleration, mechanics, and explosiveness can take your game to the next level.
My goal as a coach is not only to make athletes faster, but to build confidence, discipline, and a strong foundation that will help them succeed both in sports and in life.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve their acceleration, top speed, explosiveness, and overall athletic movement. Many athletes are fast but have never been taught proper sprint mechanics, which is where a lot of performance gains can be made.
In training we focus on sprint technique, starts and acceleration, stride efficiency, jumping mechanics, plyometrics, and strength for speed. I also work on building body control, coordination, and confidence so athletes move more efficiently and powerfully.
Whether you are preparing for your season, trying to earn a starting spot, or simply want to become a faster athlete, my goal is to give you the tools and coaching to help you perform at your best.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session starts with a dynamic warm up and movement preparation to get the body ready to perform at a high level. From there we move into sprint drills that focus on mechanics such as posture, arm action, and stride efficiency.
After the drill work we focus on speed development through acceleration work, sprint training, and explosive exercises like plyometrics or jumping drills. Depending on the athlete’s goals, we may also incorporate event specific work for sprinters and jumpers.
Each session ends with a short cooldown and feedback so athletes understand what they did well and what we will continue to improve in the next session.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Former collegiate track and field athlete and collegiate record holder with a background in sprinting and speed development. I currently coach youth and high school athletes in sprinting and jumping events while also working with multi sport athletes who want to improve speed and explosiveness.
I run private speed training sessions focused on sprint mechanics, acceleration, and athletic performance. My experience as both an athlete and coach allows me to break down technique in a way that athletes can understand and apply immediately.
Best coach I ever had:
My dad.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I take pride in creating a positive, structured, and encouraging training environment. My goal is not only to help athletes become faster and more explosive, but also to build confidence, discipline, and a strong work ethic.
I believe every athlete develops at a different pace, so I focus on individualized coaching that meets each athlete where they are while still challenging them to improve. I place a strong emphasis on proper mechanics, injury prevention, and long term athletic development so athletes can continue to grow and perform at a high level.
Most importantly, I want athletes to enjoy the process of getting better. When athletes feel confident, supported, and motivated, that is when real progress happens.

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.
