High level setter training and all around skills
High level setter training and all around skills
Have you ever tried to learn how to set from someone that has never done it? Some things help but more often than not, you'll fall back into bad habits. I've played this game at a very high level and know what it takes to play at the upper ranks at the collegiate level and semi-professional indoor and outdoor levels after leaving school. I love this game and am so excited to teach what has given me experiences I'll never forget and lifetime friends.

How I can help you improve your game:
Having lived the high school and college volleyball life. I can teach you from first hand experience what to expect, what you'll need to focus on and train to get there and what the common pitfalls you may run into along the way when learning new skills.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
- I'd start with an evaluation of your current skillset.
- Get a feel for what you want to learn
- Plan that days session based on your initial feedback and comments
- During the session we'd work some light conditioning, drills to help with gametime situations and speed and follow up with a session recap and plan for before the next time we meet
- I'd provide you a schedule of what to expect before the next meeting and what I'd want you to work on between sessions.
Career summary and accomplishments:
My coaching experience is limited in volleyball but I've been coaching multiple sports for many years. I can say that I've coached volleyball, not in a formal capacity but as a means to teach someone trying to learn at a tournament, after playing against them in a game or someone I spot in a gym looking for pointers.
Best coach I ever had:
Wasn't actually a coach. It was a friend of mine on my college team who had played both indoor and outdoor. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge who could speak on the game in whatever format you were interested in. Coming from solely playing indoor in high school my curiosity was piqued and I wanted to learn more so I could migrate outdoors where I felt most at home.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I've been "coaching" my whole life, whether as a player coach in high school/college, with my own kids, and to those families whose kids I've coached along the way after leaving college.
I look to build trust, have fun and teach to the level that you have as a goal.
Want to know what it takes to make it at whatever level you're interested? I can come up with a program that is suited to help you get there based on first hand knowledge from having lived it and what I've built up over the years from coaching a variety of sports.

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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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!
