Book Private Track-and-field Lessons with Coach Nick
I got my real start in running in middle school when my dad started trying to convert me into a cyclist from baseball. Needless, to say, I did not particularly enjoy it. After my first season of cross country, I was completely sold on the sport. I still played baseball that spring but my desire was ultimately to run so I quit baseball and committed to running 3 seasons year-round for the next 10 years. The combination of having significant success in the sport and working with incredibly attentive and caring coaches has put me in a position to start down my own path as a coach. I think my experience with the sport poises me well to coach and pass what I have learned to others for their benefit!

How I can help you improve your game:
Whether you are training for the sake of your own personal wellness or training to race a distance between 1 mile - half marathon, I have experience on both ends of the spectrum from an intensity aspect. This not only includes physical training, but also mental conditioning, and lifestyle balances that are important for gaining the edge to be competitive.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session will likely include a simple aerobic run anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour+ as fitness and conditioning allow. Periodically, it will be important to introduce different stimulation such as hill repeats, tempo workouts, turnover drills, and always dynamic and static stretching. All of these training aspects will be introduced over the various phases of the training cycle and tailored to the client’s goals and ability.
Career summary and accomplishments:
In my later years of high school and college, both of my coaches placed some coaching responsibility on myself and other team captains. We would design workouts and then confirm with the coach and tweak as necessary.
Best coach I ever had:
My coach in High School was my first coach to really make an impression on my mental and emotional preparation in the sport. He taught me over the years we worked together that that the physical conditioning is just as important as the mental aspect. He also guided me in my development to more efficiently maintain myself and my fitness over the course of the season and the entire competitive year.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I graduated from Lehigh University in 2021 and am currently working full-time as a Mechanical Engineer in Hatfield, PA. I have been taking a hiatus from running to adjust and acclimate to adult life but I am now ready to pickup my own personal fitness journey alongside my clients!

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!
