"One must imagine Sisyphus happy" - Albert Camus
Being consistent is harder than being creative. How do you plan to create more consistency in your behaviors? My goal is to give you to tools to be successful and make consistent progress in your athletic career as well as assisting in transferring those skills to daily life!
How I can help you improve
The big thing I tell my clients is to create as much realism in how they prepare or practice for their chosen sport or activity. Context matters so much to how our brain perceives things and the better we can do that, the better we can expect performance to be!
A typical training session
I try to keep things short and concise with my clients but obviously is we're rolling on a topic I'm happy to maintain that conversation. I understand a lot of younger athletes have a shorter attention span these days to I try to keep them engaged for a 30 min conversation and get them excited to come back next time with more to discuss.
Career & accomplishments
I grew up in New England and played ice hockey and lacrosse, I played lacrosse into college. After that I worked with D1 football/NFL Draft preparation, followed by several years into my current work with military/tactical populations to teach and instill good behavioral patterns, health and wellness, and performance enhancement.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was in college and he didn't try to make me feel better all the time, he was honest with me but also gave me the time and attention to teach me how to make improves, hold me accountable, and be the first person to cheer me on.
What athletes & parents should know
I'm a life long athlete; I played sports into college, I understand the recruiting process but also what keeps an individual on the field and happy.

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!
