About Me:
I’m passionate about helping athletes strengthen both performance and wellbeing. My coaching approach combines mental performance skills, emotional resilience, self-awareness, and practical tools to help athletes navigate pressure, setbacks, confidence challenges, and growth. I value creating a supportive and encouraging environment where athletes can develop not only as competitors, but also as people.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve confidence, focus, emotional control, communication, and consistency under pressure. Whether an athlete is struggling with nerves, motivation, self-doubt, or bouncing back from mistakes, I provide practical strategies that can translate into stronger performance and healthier mindset habits both in sports and everyday life.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Sessions are collaborative, supportive, and tailored to the athlete’s goals and needs. We may work on confidence-building, visualization, emotional regulation, focus techniques, performance routines, communication skills, or handling pressure and setbacks. I aim to create sessions that are engaging, practical, and immediately applicable during practices, games, and daily life. You are ultimately the expert on you and I'm here to help you cultivate it!
Career summary and accomplishments:
My background includes mentoring, coaching, psychoeducation, and supporting individuals in building resilience, emotional wellness, communication skills, and personal growth. I have experience facilitating groups, teaching self-protection and confidence-building concepts, and helping people strengthen mindset and self-awareness in challenging situations. My work is rooted in compassion, growth, and sustainable performance.
Best coach I ever had:
The coaches who made the biggest impact were the ones who focused not only on performance, but also on mindset, confidence, and character—and that’s something I strive to bring into my own coaching. In my early athletic career, my high school coaches in soccer and golf were always supportive, encouraging, and real; they didn't hold back on what needed improvements and supported me through challenges and accomplishments.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I believe trust, communication, and consistency are essential for growth. My coaching style is supportive, encouraging, and individualized while still helping athletes stay accountable to their goals. I aim to help athletes build confidence and resilience that extends beyond sports, so they can perform well while also developing healthy habits, self-awareness, and life skills.

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!
