Sports diagnostics and advanced training
Dedicated to helping athletes at every level turn effort into measurable results through technical precision, structured progression, dynamic speed work, and hands-on mentorship designed to unlock peak performance.
How I can help you improve
I target the underlying mechanics that directly generate speed, force, and efficiency. By identifying individual structural strengths and movement deficiencies, I build custom programming tailored to your event or sport. Whether you need to refine sprint biomechanics, build explosive power, improve ground contact times, or prevent injuries, I give you the technical clarity and structured progression to hit peak performance.
A typical training session
Sessions open with dynamic, movement-specific prep, followed by targeted biomechanical or technical drills (sprint mechanics, acceleration work, or force production). We integrate modern performance monitoring—such as high-speed video analysis (240 FPS) and velocity-based feedback—to fine-tune execution. Every drill has a clear objective, ending with targeted strength or conditioning work and individual feedback.

Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had prioritized technical precision without losing sight of the individual. They taught me that elite performance is built on rigorous diagnostic observation, consistent feedback, and understanding how an athlete moves and adapts under stress—a philosophy that directly guides my coaching today.
What athletes & parents should know
I bring scientific rigor and elite-level diagnostics to every stage of athletic development. Whether your goal is making the varsity squad, earning a college scholarship, or competing professionally, my approach is measured, objective, and deliberate. I emphasize biomechanical precision and data-backed training to maximize speed and power while actively mitigating injury risk. Parents and athletes can expect clear communication, structured progression, and a professional environment focused on long-term athletic success.

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.
Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.
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!
