Book Private Track-and-field Lessons with Coach Meg
Are you and your child frustrated that mental blocks are not allowing them to enjoy their sport and be successful? Do they struggle to perform at their best when the pressure is on? Is it a key year for recruiting? Helping with these challenges is my calling. As a former full scholarship div 1 runner with a Masters in Sport Psychology and 20+ years coaching experience, my mindset coaching helps you break through to your best PRs. As a top youth and high school All-American and Penn Relays record holder, I understand how to get through the pressure and setbacks during these important life stages. Adolescent athletes who work with me benefit from my 14 years as a school teacher with appropriate practices that make our online sessions memorable and fun. I have worked with 1000s of athletes to help them find their joy and success. I'd like to help you, too.

• 800m 2:08, Mile 4:47, 3k 9:33, 3200m 10:13, 16:50 5k

How I can help you improve your game:
After working with me, athletes report that they are better able to manage their anxiety and negative self-talk, rebuild their confidence, get more sleep, and spend less downtime on screens. Performance results show that they are able to transition safely back from injury and illness, get more playing time, and attain consistent PRs.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
In about 30 minutes online using Google Meet, we check in with the previous weeks goals, discuss current challenges in the mental game and what's ahead, learn a new mindset tool, and set goals around that.
Career summary and accomplishments:
• 2015-Present: Meg Waldron Mental Performance - Mindset coach. College athletes that I have worked with attend Villanova, UPenn, Princeton, Georgetown, Dartmouth, Colorado, Ole Miss, Brown... High school athletes that I work with are some of the top prep runners in the country. I also work with swimmers and field sports. • Locally, I have coached at the Pingry School in NJ, The Philadelphia School, Friends Select, Merion Mercy Academy, LaSalle University, and Little Flower Girls HS. • 2009-2023: Director and Coach - You Go Girls- a play-based non-competitive girls running club for grades 2-6.
Best coach I ever had:
My best coach was Coach Ed Mather because he trained us well, built community, and made the experience fun, novel, and memorable. He taught us not to sweat the small stuff and take it all in stride. He was also good at including parents in the culture of team.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
When I was young, I felt like I was born to run. I did a lot of it, and did it well. Now I love to empower young people with thinking tools to do their sport well. At the end of the day, sports skills are life skills. I like to think I provide the support that wasn't there when I was coming up. It's more of a calling than a job, and I put my whole self into it to help young athletes feel and perform better.
• I am one of nine children and grew up with big family-small town values. I used to live in Honduras and speak Spanish.

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!
