Book Private Football Lessons with Coach Devin
My passion for football and track will always be a part of me. I enjoy teaching them as much as playing and observing them. Every year I swear I'm going to stop running track or playing football, but somehow I end up training for both sports again.

About Me:
From little league football to semi-pro football, when I played on a defense that was ranked #1 in the nation at the time and won back-to-back national championships, I have played football and run track my entire life. In addition, I ran track for the USTF club when I was younger and in high school. In the 100, 200, 400, 400 hurdles, 800, 4x100, 4x400, long jump, and triple jump, I took home medals throughout my running career.
How I can help you improve your game:
“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times," said Bruce Lee. I can help someone improve their talents with consistency, continuously training the basics until their body knows how to perform the function on its own, like breathing, then building adding skills and techniques to finely tune the athlete's talent, making them the most prepared and ready athlete when they step on that field or track.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Track: For instance, I would begin a session with stretches, working on mobility and flexibility exercises, and then I would go on to power and acceleration drills for sprinters. drills for speed and velocity, followed with core-focused cooldown exercises.
Football: When it came to football, I would begin with warm-up exercises, stretches, and footwork drills with ladders and cones before moving on to position drills. I was a defensive back and quarterback, so each practice was specifically designed to meet the needs of the player.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Before the school closed, I volunteered as a high school track coach in Pittsburgh for four years. To become successful, my athletes had to overcome so many obstacles. When the weather was nice, we didn't have a weight or track to practice on. All of the athletes I trained made it to states, some of them placed, and the majority of them went on to run in college because of their perseverance and hard work. We trained at a reservoir on concrete, in the winter time inside located on the second floor of the school.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Watley, I think I have to answer. He was my track club's head coach. He gave me a strong work ethic and tenacity that still motivates me now, even if I was a stubborn youngster. Using the phrase "can't" is something he never let any of us do. He would constantly remind me that I could achieve anything I wanted because the word wasn't in my vocabulary and that nothing worthwhile in life was simple. However, I had to put in the effort and it would be difficult.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
The joy and pleasure I derive from coaching my athletes and watching them develop a lifelong love for the game while also being able to recognize their own growth and take pride in their achievements. I impart the same values that were taught to me to everyone I'm training. I challenge my athletes to go beyond their normal limits and set new ones. I mold them into their greatest versions. As long as they put in the effort, there is nothing they can do. I instill in them an unwavering determination to succeed and accountability.

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?

It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship.
