How I can help you improve your game:
For the past 5+ I have worked with division 1 collegiate athletes of all different training ages and experience levels. What makes me successful is my ability to meet athletes where they are currently at and work on their long term development from that point. Through well thought out and progressed programming, athletes will avoid early plateaus and will continue to see improvements.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
1. Warm Up: 10-15 minutes. Focusing on raising body temperature, warming up tissues, moving in different planes of motion and priming the body for the purpose of the day.
2. Jumps + Speed Work: 15-20 minutes. Jumps are chosen based on what the speed goal of the day is. Speed work is split up by acceleration, top end speed, and change of direction or agility training.
3. Lift: 25-30 minutes. Multi-joint compound movements combined with core, rotational, and isolated exercises to make for a full body workout.
4. Breakdown of the day to discuss how the session went, possible recovery and nutrition loading thoughts/questions, and give insight on what is to come in the next session.
Career summary and accomplishments:
- Connecticut College Women's Ice Hockey Assistant Coach - Harvard University Strength and Conditioning Intern - University of Denver Sports Performance Intern - Currently University of Denver Senior Sports Performance Coach (primarily working with Women's Basketball and Men's/Women's Swimming)
Best coach I ever had:
My assistant coach during my junior and senior year at the University of Vermont. I had just changed positions the year before she was hired and was feeling lost at to what my role was. She took the time to have extra skill sessions and film reviews with me to make sure I made the most of my last two years in my new role.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I believe that consistency is the most important piece of the puzzle when you are training to improve fitness levels, sport skill, reach a specific goal, etc. The training I do is basic yet effective because there is no reason to get fancy if you are consistency pushing yourself to new levels each day. If you want to jump higher - you have to jump, if you want to run faster - you have to sprint, if you want to get stronger - you have to lift. It is that simple.

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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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 collegiate and professional 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 and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, 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!
