Former collegiate athlete and 3-year coach, developing discipline and confidence
As a four-year collegiate football player and 2019 PAC Champion with two ECAC Bowl victories, I understand what it takes to compete and win at a high level. Over the past three years of coaching, I’ve translated that experience into intentional player development—focusing on fundamentals, football IQ, accountability, and mental toughness. With a background in academic counseling and therapy, I take a holistic approach to coaching, building not just better athletes, but stronger, more disciplined young men prepared for success beyond the game.

About Me:
I’m a former collegiate football player, 2019 PAC Champion, and two-time ECAC Bowl winner with eight total years of playing experience and three years of coaching. Football has shaped my work ethic, discipline, and leadership style both on and off the field. Beyond coaching, my background in academic counseling and therapy allows me to connect with athletes on a deeper level—helping them grow not just as players, but as confident, accountable young men.
How I can help you improve your game:
As a WR and DB coach, I specialize in fundamentals, football IQ, and position-specific detail. For wide receivers, I focus on route running precision, releases vs. press, footwork efficiency, ball tracking, and creating separation. For corners and defensive backs, I emphasize stance and start, hip mobility, leverage, press technique, off-man coverage, and reading route concepts.
My goal is simple: develop technically sound, confident athletes who understand why they’re doing what they’re doing — not just how to do it.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each session is structured, high-energy, and detail-oriented:
Dynamic Warm-Up & Footwork Activation – Speed mechanics, ladder work, hip mobility
Position-Specific Skill Development
WR: Releases, top-of-route mechanics, contested catches, ball skills
DB: Backpedal mechanics, transition drills, press technique, ball tracking
Competitive Situational Work – 1-on-1 reps, reaction drills, game-speed execution
Film/Chalk Talk (when applicable) – Understanding coverage, route concepts, and tendencies
Accountability & Confidence Building – Coaching points, corrections, and mindset work
Every session is intentional. Every rep has a purpose.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Dedicated football professional with eight years of competitive playing experience at the high school and collegiate levels, including four years at the collegiate level as a contributing student-athlete. Transitioned into coaching with three years of experience developing wide receivers and defensive backs through structured, fundamentals-based training. Championship-tested competitor with experience in high-pressure environments, bringing leadership, accountability, and a player-first development mindset. Background in academic counseling and therapy enhances ability to mentor athletes holistically — emphasizing mental toughness, discipline, and character development alongside athletic performance.

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?

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!
