How I can help you improve your game:
Performance isn't just about the work on the field, track, or court. It's a mental battle day in and day out. Improving an athlete's physical abilities is just half of the battle, improving there mindset and creating bulletproof thinking is another piece of that puzzle. I help athletes recognize the link between the two, and use each aspect to boost the other.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Warmup/Breakdown of the game plan: Ensuring that all muscles and joints are prepped for the workout, and laying out what the workout will be, while providing the rationale for such.
Workout: Dialing in form, effort, technique, and tracking progress overtime to help the athlete recognize their own growth.
Cooldown/Recap: Stretching + Mobility to reduce stiffness and soreness the next day while discussing what the athlete feels went well and what they could improve upon to collaborate on their next steps.
Career summary and accomplishments:
- Student coaching during my senior year of high school due to a torn achilles; helping the women's team get 2nd in state and our men's team get 3rd - Assistant Throws and middle distance coach at Flagstaff High School while attaining my Bachelors; helping establish our throws program and having several state qualifiers (a new accomplishment for the school) - Women's head coach at Etiwanda High school; currently coaching and planning on making waves in the untapped distance world
Best coach I ever had:
My youth track and field coach, Shane Cleveland. He instilled in all of us the core values of what it meant to be not only an outstanding athlete, but an outstanding person. Doing nothing inside or outside of practice that wouldn't make ourselves, our team, and our families proud. He taught us that being an athlete was not a hobby that we could sway back and forth on, but a way of life, regardless of if we competed or not.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I'm no drill sergeant but when we train, there is a job to be done. From start to finish, it's time to dial in and put in work. I remember what it's like to be a student athlete, and sometimes a little tough love can keep us on the right path.

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!
