Book Private Track-and-field Lessons with Coach Jack
Just recently graduating college and competing all 4 years at DePauw as a cross country and track runner, I know what it takes at the next level. Being 22 is an advantage for me, as I can better connect with young athletes and understand the pressures of competition nowadays. Training with me is a guarantee your athlete will see success on and off the course - as mental preparation is key for everything in life. Work, school, relationships, and of course... race day.

How I can help you improve your game:
We will focus on making the 'boring stuff' fun. Form drills, plyometrics, and strength and mobility work before and after practice will keep you healthy and competing.
We will work on long speed, through fartleks and tempo. Everyone can run the 800, my specialty. I will train 400 and below runners to not fade late in races, and teach 5k runners to have quick turnover to kick hard in races.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Trusting that they are working on recovery runs throughout the week, we will focus on a series of ladder workouts that break paces down to make race-pace feel comfortable. Slowly increasing pace and distance throughout the workouts. My methods are trusted and a lot of my training plans come from successful high school and collegiate workouts- perfect for athletes planning to compete and adjust to high-intensity training plans at the next level.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have been a private coach for friends, family, and former teammates. I joined Athletes Untapped in efforts to take coaching more seriously.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Kori Stoffregen, my collegiate coach, for never giving up in me and always seeing me for my potential, helping me to unless it.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a very high-energy, social-oriented runner. I was hurt a lot in college and train athletes light on volume but heavy on high-pace work - because your best ability is your availability. Your athletes will not only improve their times, but maximize their mental head space and increase belief in themselves beyond just the sport of running.

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!
