How I can help you improve your game:
I help players improve their game by focusing on both the fundamentals and the mental aspects of lacrosse. First and foremost, I break down core skills—like stick handling, shooting, and defensive positioning—so players can execute them with confidence. But it doesn’t stop there. I believe in creating a mindset of growth, where players embrace challenges, push their limits, and stay composed under pressure. I tailor each session to meet individual needs, offering constructive feedback and personalized drills that focus on specific areas of improvement. My coaching style encourages a balance between hard work, creativity, and teamwork, helping players develop not only as athletes but as leaders on the field. By understanding each player's strengths and weaknesses, I ensure they are always progressing and playing smarter, not just harder.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session starts with a dynamic warm-up to get players ready, followed by focused skill drills like stick handling, shooting, and defense. I emphasize repetition for muscle memory and confidence. Next, we move into situational drills, simulating game scenarios to help players make decisions under pressure. We wrap up with small-sided games or scrimmages to work on teamwork and applying skills in a real-game setting. Throughout, I give individual feedback to encourage growth, boost confidence, and help players improve both as athletes and teammates.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached years of youth sports in a variety of sports. Included in those being coached basketball, lacrosse and swim.
Best coach I ever had:
My High School assistant coach was and still is one of my favorite coaches I have ever had. I absolutely love her with my whole heart. She was so patient with me and once I understood the concepts began to make them more complicated to get me better. Her coaching ways have stuck with me and I aspire to be like her as much as I can and I base how I coach off of her.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am totally willing to change and adapt drills based on your athletes needs. No matter your athlete's skill level we will work together to create a plan that will help them get better. As a person who really loves when someone is able to slow something down and explain it better, I would love to help your athlete in the same way.

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!
