Get to know Coach Olivia
About Me:
In high school, I was a four year starter and a captain my senior year at Notre Dame Preparatory School. At Notre Dame, I helped lead the team to two IAAM A conference titles. At Penn, I am an attacker and finished 3rd in the Ivy League this past year. I am currently a striker, but have experience playing midfield and defense.
How I can help you improve your game:
Through playing the sport at the collegiate level, I understand what skills are required to get to that point. I also know how to describe the game so it is not very complicated. From experiencing working with coaching of many different ages and different skill levels, I know how to describe and train the game in a way that is helpful to the players.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
warm up and stretch on your own 10-15 minutes before the session so that we can get to as much field hockey as possible! first 5-10 minutes will be different types of passes, 10-25 will be breaking down skills and shots, 25-45 will be different drills incorporating those skills we just learned. 45-60 we will do more realistic games.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have been coaching all throughout high school and college and have experience with players K-12. I started coaching my NDP field hockey camps and giving private and small group lessons in my hometown in Maryland. I currently just finished my first spring coaching with Mainline Field Hockey club and look forward to continuing to coach in the Philadelphia area.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Coach Kate, she was a college athlete at the time and I saw the most improvement in my field hockey skills and confidence as a player. She was my best coach because she knew what was necessary to make it to the next level in the sport. I hope to pay it forward by giving private lessons of my own.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I bring a positive energy and try to keep the game fun, while also pushing my players to their greatest potential. I would love to help teach the lessons that the sport has taught me in not only athletics, but in many other aspects of life. I hope to serve as not only a coach, but also a mentor to the youth and make them better and confident field hockey players and people overall.

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!
