About Me:
Throughout my collegiate softball career, I made significant contributions both on and off the field. As a team captain, I led by example and guided my teammates to success. I ranked 3rd in the GNAC conference for RBIs, 4th for triples, 5th for slugging percentage, and 9th for home runs. These achievements highlight my strong performance and leadership during my time as a player.
How I can help you improve your game:
To help improve someone's game, I emphasize the importance of strength training and mobility. I believe in utilizing slow, powerful, repetitive movements to build muscle memory, which is crucial in any sport. By incorporating these key techniques, athletes can enhance their performance and take their game to the next level. Regular strength and mobility exercises will not only improve overall fitness but also increase stability and reduce the risk of injury.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A regular training session with me begins with stretching and a warm-up to prepare your body. We then focus on conditioning and strength training. Depending on your specific goals, some sessions may emphasize technique to refine your skills further. This tailored approach ensures comprehensive development and progress in your game.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have five years of coaching experience with the Queens Nassau Comets, where I trained young girls aged 9 to 17 at a high intensity level. My focus on skill development and performance has helped foster growth and resilience among my athletes, preparing them for competitive challenges.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my high school coach, Coach Douglas. He was an exceptional person who had a profound impact on my life. Coach Douglas took the time to understand me not just as a player, but as an individual. His ability to connect with me on a personal level and his dedication to helping me grow both on and off the field truly made a difference. His support and guidance helped shape my perspective on life and my approach to the game, making him the most influential coach I’ve ever had.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I strive to be the mentor and support system I wished I had growing up. I genuinely care about both the sport and my clients, and I approach coaching with a deep commitment to helping each player succeed. For me, softball is more than just a game—it’s a way of life. I’m dedicated to making sure that every athlete I work with develops not only their skills but also a lasting passion for the sport.

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!
