Get to know Ron
Mental performance coach helping athletes play free under pressure.
I help athletes, parents and coaches handle pressure. We train the reset after a mistake, focus and confidence so you play in games the way you practice. Sessions in person in Chesterfield, MO, or online anywhere.
How I can help you improve
I help athletes play free under pressure. We find where pressure shows up for you (after an error, in a big at-bat, when a coach is watching) and train the mental skills to handle it: a reset routine, a focus cue, and a next-play mindset. The goal is simple: you play the way you practice when it counts.
A typical training session
We start with what happened since last time: a game, a practice, a moment that went sideways. Then we pick one skill and work it with real situations from your sport, not theory. You leave with one thing to use at your next practice and a simple way to track it. Parents get a short recap of what we’re working on and how to support it without adding pressure. Sessions are in person in Chesterfield or online.
Career & accomplishments
Mental performance coach with over 30 years in high pressure leadership roles. More than a decade as Director and Head Coach of elite 16U/18U fastpitch, 2010–2021): every player who wanted to play in college got placed, and I was an NFCA Coach of the Year finalist. Certified in Mental Performance Mastery. Now earning an MS in Sport and Performance Psychology. Two-time Ironman 70.3 finisher.
Best coach I ever had
The best coaches I’ve had, on the field and in the business world, all did one thing well. They stayed calm when I made a mistake and told me what to do next instead of what I did wrong. That one habit built more confidence in me than any pep talk. It’s the coach I try to be every session
What athletes & parents should know
I talk straight with athletes and treat them like people first. Parents stay in the loop, but sessions belong to the athlete. I’m a mental performance coach, not a therapist. If something needs clinical care, I’ll say so and help you find the right person. Every session ends with something you can use right away.

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!
