Giving athletes the confidence to build great minds and strive for greatness!
My goal is to help athletes unlock their full potential by combining strength and conditioning with mindset coaching. My approach develops physical performance, mental resilience, confidence, and discipline, empowering athletes to compete at their best under pressure and achieve success in competition and in life.
How I can help you improve
I can help you focus on the moment. Lots of athletes worry about the crowd or what others will think of them if they do not perform well. I help the athlete focus on the moment and block out the other things.
A typical training session
I would start with a performance check-in. We would discuss recent training, competition, recovery, sleep, stress, and nutrition. We would then move to mindset development and work on mental skills that impact performance, like: building confidence, managing competition anxiety, goal setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and improving focus.
Next is strength and performance training. I would have a personalized training session designed around the athlete's sport and goals. This would include: strength and power development, speed and agility work, mobility and injury prevention, explosive movements, conditioning, and sport-specific exercises.
Throughout the workout, mindset coaching is integrated. Athletes learn how to stay composed under fatigue, maintain focus, and push through discomfort with intention.
A reflection and action plan is then started. This is a review of the session, identifying key takeaways, and creating a plan for both the physical and mental skills in upcoming practices and competitions.
The Goal-
The objective is to develop complete athletes and not just stronger bodies, but stronger minds. By training physical performance alongside confidence, discipline, resilience, and focus, athletes are better prepared to perform consistently when the pressure is highest.
Career & accomplishments
2-time state placer and 1-time finalist in wrestling in high school. 2 year starter at PennWest Edinboro in wrestling. 1-time NCAA Division 1 National Qualifier. NASE certified in speed and explosion. Master's Degree in Exercise Science.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was my high school wrestling coach. He loved the sport. He only cared that we tried hard and wanted to get better. He said that he couldn't fix effort, but he could fix technique if it was done wrong. He wanted us to show up every day and give it our all. He said as long as we did this, we would give ourselves the best chance to be great.
What athletes & parents should know
I enjoy what I do and can come off as a little bit intense at times.

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!
