Become a Physical Offensive and Defensive Lineman with Perfect Technique
Become a Physical Offensive and Defensive Lineman with Perfect Technique
I spent 5 total years playing Football at Corona Del Mar HS and D1 Power 5 Football at Syracuse University. I played all 5 offensive lineman positions, Tight End, Defensive Line (3 Technique, 5 Technique) and Edge Rusher in High School. At Syracuse I played Tight End and practiced with OL. My goal as a Coach is to help young men develop into high character individuals. This process involves discipline, perseverance, mental conditioning, and facing adversity. We all face setbacks and this lesson is not about sports, the lesson is to never give up regardless of the obstacles you're facing. If the student athlete I am working with can demonstrate a true understanding of this principle, then I have no doubt we will succeed in his athletic and academic goals. My current team of coaches produced 2 first round offensive lineman who are multi-year NFL starters.

About Me:
I am a former Division 1 Power 5 ACC Tight End and Offensive Lineman. Today I am a Coach for Offensive and Defensive Lineman, High School Special Education Teacher, a Husband, and a Father. 100% of the Student Athletes I've worked with have gone on to play College Football.
How I can help you improve your game:
You will have perfect technique with your leverage, your hands, your feet, and your blocking schemes. My goal as a coach is to help young men develop into high character individuals. This process involves discipline, perseverance, mental conditioning, and facing adversity. We all face setbacks and this lesson is not about sports, the lesson is to never give up regardless of the obstacles you're facing. If the student athlete I am working with can demonstrate a true understanding of this principle, then I have no doubt we will succeed in his athletic and academic goals.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We will be in cleats on the field working on our feet, technique, leverage, and lower body agility or we will be in the weight room focusing on position specific strength and conditioning.

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 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!
