I have 4 years of experience working in the military to help train those who work under some of the greatest pressures and challenging environments to strengthen their mental toughness, remain calm under pressure, operate effectively within a team, and thrive under any conditions to be successful in their mission. I've helped train individuals ranging from military leaders in charge of a couple hundred Soldiers to high school varsity rowers competing in national tournaments. At the end of the day, my goal is to work alongside the athlete to identify and encourage personal growth and achievement, both in their sport and in life.

Born and raised in a small town in Illinois, I grew up spending most my time outdoors, playing sports, and being with family. At 23, I moved near San Francisco, California to pursue graduate school. After completing my degree, I moved near Nashville, Tennessee, where I began my career with the military. After 3 years, I transferred to Washington to remain in my current role working at a different military base.
Through a collaborative approach of learning the athlete's world and bringing my area of expertise, the cognitive-based and mindfulness-focused techniques I train are seamlessly integrated into daily habits, routines, and the athlete's sport. With some time and repetitions, just like when they acquire and master the technical skills of their sport, the mental training follows the same system to become just as automated and instinctual.
I am naturally a curious and inquisitive person so part of the session involves asking the athlete and/or parent a variety of questions to gather helpful information and from there, I provide a small amount of education to the client to first help them understand the foundation before providing the skill(s) and techniques that could be beneficial for the client to put into practice through a deliberate approach. Lastly, it is crucial to then get feedback from the client about how the various mental skills are being applied and resonated with for their areas of growth and performance.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
