My name is Michael Hiers, and I was an All-American quarterback at Samford University and a current professional athlete. I specialize in rotational athletes, such as quarterbacks and baseball players.Training with me isn't just about learning skills; it's about unlocking your full potential. I bring my experience as a top-level competitor to every session, offering insights and techniques that have propelled me to the highest levels of the sport. Whether you're aiming to improve your game, increase your stamina, or sharpen your mental focus, I've been there and can guide you through it. What sets my training apart is personalized attention and a commitment to your growth. I tailor each session to your unique strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring every minute counts towards your development. Beyond physical training, I emphasize the importance of discipline, resilience, and teamwork—skills that translate far beyond the field. My goal is to not only elevate your athletic abilities but also help create a mindset for success in sports and life.

I will use my experiences throughout my 20 years of sports to help improve my athletes game. I have played sports at the highest level, and I have been coached by some incredible coaches, such as former NFL and MLB players, Hall of Fame coaches, and private trainers that coach top NFL QBS.
A typical training session for me is completely based off the athletes needs. Whether it is physical or mental, I will use drills and techniques that I have used throughout my career to help maximize the athletes ability. Typically, my training sessions last one hour, but they can go as long as needed depending on my schedule. Athletes and Parents can also schedule sessions that last up to 2-3 hours. It is completely up to what is best for the athlete.
I have done training in a variety of sports including football, baseball, and basketball. Specifically, I have done private coaching for baseball and football ages 6-18, and I have helped coach football, baseball, and basketball teams. In addition to this, I have helped athletes with the mental aspect of athletics and how to overcome adversity.
I have been blessed with a lot of great coaches so far in my playing career. All of my coaches in High School, Junior College, and at Samford did different things which helped me become the best player possible. A common theme that I have learned from my coaches is realizing that every player learns differently, and it is the coaches job to figure out exactly what that way is to best help the player.
Athletes and Parents should know that I am extremely hard working, personable, and truly want to help athletes get better at their craft. I have a great amount of experience in sports, and I will use all that I have learned from other players and coaches to help out all athletes. In addition to the physical part of athletics, I want to help athletes understand the importance of the mental aspect as well.
Browse our roster of vetted private coaches to find the right fit for you.
Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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.
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!
