Development fuels lasting success.
Development fuels lasting success.
I develop all football players, with a specialized focus on Quarterbacks and Punters. My program goes beyond basic technique, concentrating on the complete development of the QB—from advanced footwork and throwing mechanics to elite-level decision-making and leadership skills. I want to turn talented young athletes into confident, mentally tough, and effective field generals who elevate the entire team.

About Me:
I am passionate about the game of football and been involved ever since I was 8 years old. I am happily married with a dog. My favorite football team is the Jets. I enjoy spending time with my wife, playing golf and walking my dog. I love to travel with my wife, and we just went to Brazil this past year.
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus on getting back to the basics and fundamentals. A foundation is key when trying to improve development and continued success.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
In a first session I want to get to know you and watch you throw. I want to see any type of adjustments I can make to help out your mechanics or footwork. I want to then get into the footwork drills and start emphasizing how important footwork is to a quarterback. We will start by doing basic footwork drills and then throw in some distraction as a QB has to deal with a multitude of different variables during a game. Then with the footwork start throwing the ball to me or a net. Once the first session is complete, I will better understand where the player is at, where the players improvements are needed and what the player wants to strive for. I will also adjust each session based on what both the player and I feel we need to accomplish. My main two things when training a QB is the footwork and throwing mechanics as they can always be improved. I want to be flexible with my training and adapt to any situation the player comes forth with. It is important that we are both on the same page when training. As a coach, I can give all the tools the player needs to be successful, but it is up to them to produce and make it happen.

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.
