I elevate younger athletes' confidence by mastering technique and fundamentals!

I've coached peewee through collegiate football programs, specifically pertaining to quarterbacks, receivers and linemen. I've worked in both rebuilding and winning programs, from the depths of an 0-10 record to the heights of winning the championship game. I know how to teach the game at its core and keep it simple for understanding, to truly build that confidence level needed for your young athlete to not just succeed but excel. Every session has a plan, lots of reps, and take-home drills so parents can actually see progress week to week.

Get to know Coach Gavin

About Me:

Youth football fundamentals coach specializing in QB, WR, and OL/DL. College football experience at Slippery Rock University (Offensive support, QB/WR/OL assistance) plus coaching experience at Hampton as the girls' varsity flag football head coach and receivers coach for the boys' varsity team. I help young aspiring athletes build strong technique, confidence, and game understanding through organized, high-rep sessions.

Playing football in my youth, interning with a collegiate team, assistant coaching for a boys' varsity team and leading a group of young adults as their head coach; said experiences has prepared me to share my knowledge of the game of football in the best way that I can.

How I can help you improve your game:

I'll help you play faster and more confident by mastering the basics and turning them into game-speed habits. We'll sharpen your footwork, technique, and football IQ, then compete in drills that simulate real situations... so you're ready when the lights are on!

What a typical training session looks like with me:

Each session will follow a proven approach: Evaluate --> Teach --> Rep --> Compete --> Review --> Repeat

I'll identify your top 2-3 areas to improve, coach the technique, and give you high quality reps that translate to game day. You'll also get a simple development plan, so progress is consistent week to week.

Best coach I ever had:

Coach Bud - OL/DL coach during my Hampton varsity football tenure. Coach Bud was and is a coach I can only ever dream of becoming, thanks to his utmost competent, caring, intelligent, and emotional style of interaction with his students of the game. To this day, I look up to Coach Bud as a father figure and someone I can go to for advice.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

I offer a different approach; a lost practice that all athletes should learn and master.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.
