Help Your Student Athlete Meet Their Goals
I am here to mentor and train young individuals to be the best student athlete they can be. I want them to be ready for the physical and mental demands it takes to be a successful student athlete in high school and succeed to play at the collegiate level and beyond. My philosophy is not to judge, but to encourage them from their mistakes or failures. I look forward to meeting with your athlete.
I help players improve their by not only know the movements to the sport and their position, but also sitting down with them to study the game. We also discuss proper nutrition.

Football coach for the last 5 years. Offensive focused, but with great wealth of knowledge for defense.
For basketball, primary focus is fundamentals and knowledge of offensive plays and defensive tactics.
I never want to say I've had the best coach, but the best coaches. I was always taught it takes a village to make a great athlete.
I love both football and basketball equally. I aslo love the experience of watching players grow into loving those sports.

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.

Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
