Get to know Mila
I help athletes build confidence, focus, resilience, and mental strength
I’m a sports and performance professional with a Master’s in Applied Sports and Performance Psychology and experience working with athletes across football, cross country, track and field, volleyball, soccer, and basketball. I take an athlete-centered approach focused on helping athletes build confidence, manage pressure, develop resilience, and turn mental skills into better performance. My background in different sports and my fluency in English, Portuguese, and Spanish allow me to connect with athletes from diverse backgrounds.
How I can help you improve
I help athletes develop the mindset to compete with greater focus, composure, and self-belief. Together, we can work through challenges, prepare for pressure, and develop strategies that help you perform with consistency and purpose.
A typical training session
Sessions are typically 30–45 minutes and are tailored to each athlete’s goals and needs. We’ll talk through current challenges, identify areas to improve, and practice practical mental skills that can be applied directly to training and competition.
Depending on the athlete, we may work on focus, confidence, visualization, goal setting, handling pressure, or bouncing back from setbacks. Each session is designed to be engaging and practical, with tools you can take with you and use in your sport right away.
Career & accomplishments
Sports and performance professional with a Master’s degree in Applied Sports and Performance Psychology and a background in athletics, mental performance, sports business, marketing, and major sporting events. Experienced across athlete development, collegiate athletics, youth sports, and high-performance environments, with a focus on helping athletes develop confidence, focus, composure, goal-setting, and resilience.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I have ever had is Dr. Lenie Waite, a former Olympic track and field athlete and an incredible mentor. She has had a meaningful impact on both my professional development and my understanding of what it means to support athletes. Her experience as an elite athlete, combined with her knowledge of performance psychology, has taught me the importance of resilience, discipline, confidence, and having a strong support system. I’m grateful to have learned from her and to continue carrying those lessons into my work with athletes.
What athletes & parents should know
I believe every athlete is different, and my approach starts with getting to know the person behind the sport. I create a supportive and open environment where athletes can talk honestly about their challenges, set meaningful goals, and develop practical tools for competition and everyday life.
My goal is not to tell athletes how to think or perform, but to help them discover what works best for them. I value trust, communication, and consistency, and I want athletes to leave each session feeling more prepared, confident, and capable of handling whatever comes their way.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
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.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
