How I can help you improve your game:
My job as a coach is to provide you as an athlete with the tools, mindset, and knowledge needed to reach your goals. Those things will vary depending on your goals.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session would involve a warmup of about 10-20 minutes depending on fitness levels and goals. Then a workout, either repeats (400 repeats or mile repeats) or a tempo (2-5 miles relatively hard) most likely which would take roughly 20 minutes-40 minutes depending on fitness level and goals. Followed by a cool down of about 20 minutes. Outside of sessions there will also be a strength and conditioning regiment to help improve strength and prevent injury.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Since graduating college I have coached some close friends as well as family whose goals were simply to be healthy and lose weight.
I have also coached 2 high level athletes to a 15 min 5k
Best coach I ever had:
My High School Coach, Rudy Montenegro, while his training was great, it was the patience and determination that he instilled in me that made me not only love the sport but also believe in myself and my potential.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I highly value the experience I gained as an elite-level collegiate runner as well as everything that built me into that runner. I enjoy teaching runners not only the things that I did right, but also the things that I did wrong as an athlete. My ability to communicate with athletes and empower them to believe in their ability to complete and mentally prepare them to succeed is extremely valuable. I find great importance understanding each athlete at an individual level so that I can adjust my coaching to fit their goals. At the end of the day I believe heavily that me being a coach there is no hierarchy and that we need to work together in order to achieve your goals.

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!
