How I can help you improve your game:
I believe that improvements to performance can be made in multiple facets of life, not just on the court or field. My coaching involves a holistic approach— we discuss everything from nutrition, conditioning, sleep, leadership and more.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me involves a 10-15 minute warm up routine, followed by specific drill and performance work, followed by some sport specific conditioning and a cool down. I like to leave time at the end to discuss some of the athletes goals and performance updates!
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have extensive experience working with athletes of all levels in a variety of sports, especially those who are interested in playing at the collegiate level. I currently work as a counselor and tutor for UC Berkeley Div I athletes from a variety of teams including: Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Women's Golf, Women's Softball, and Women's Crew. In this role, I assist with academic services and act as mentor for issues relating to the challenges of being a student-athlete. Prior to this role, I worked with professional surfers as a day-to-day manager. I have previous experience coaching in lacrosse, tennis, soccer, basketball, paddle-boarding, surfing and running. I have specific experience working with athletes who are navigating injuries, and the emotional aspects of sports.
Best coach I ever had:
My college lacrosse coach, Stephanie Janice Mark was my all time favorite coach. Steph had really high expectations of her athletes — while at first I thought her expectations were unrealistic, overtime I realized that she was able to see us in a way that we couldn't yet see ourselves. When we put in the extra work to achieve the goals she set for us, it was all that much sweeter.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I truly love sports — I love training myself, I love watching sports, studying sports and being in community with athletes. I think that athletics provides so much value to the lives of individuals, and I want to work with anyone who is interested in getting better, or getting involved.
I have worked with athletes of all ages and all abilities. From training middle schoolers in running, to working with UC Berkeley D1 athletes who want to level up, I am well equipped to meet the needs of any athlete.

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!
