About Me:
As an athlete, I was primarily a competitive swimmer through high school, and I have club level experience in baseball, basketball, and volleyball. Currently, I'm a hybrid athlete and personal trainer, specializing in muscular strength, muscular endurance, and endurance running, and have just completed my first marathon! Beyond athletics, I have three years of experience working in strategy consulting for a Fortune 100 organization, and have co-hosted several sport and performance radio shows and podcasts. So far as a mental performance consultant, I've built experience working with high school weightlifters, and the FAMU Division I Softball team.
How I can help you improve your game:
All in all, I've dedicated this next chapter of life toward understanding the mental and physical habits, processes, and commitments that contribute to optimal human performance in any domain - and ideally, all of them at once. Whether you're working to find mastery in your sport, career, relationships, or all of the above, let's work together to uncover the tools you can own to perform at your best across the board.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Together, we'll uncover the simple processes you can work into your approach to ensure you're mentally and physically prepared to attack each practice and game situation. These processes will apply not only to your sport, but can be directly applicable to how you can show up for everyone and every obligation in your day to day life to the best of your ability.
Career summary and accomplishments:
2x Section XI County Championship qualifier in the 100yd Butterfly, 100yd Backstroke. Suffolk County Catholic Health Veteran's Memorial Half Marathon Finisher (2023), Tallahassee Marathon Finisher (2026).
Best coach I ever had:
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Expectations are everywhere, I get it!! I've been in a variety of performance-oriented sport environments, each of which has their own flavors of expectations, goals, teammates, parents, and coaching relationships. And while everyone's journey is different, I feel confident that the tools I've learned thus far in graduate school, driving the value of an individual's ability to take ownership of their own performance, will create an environment that allows your athlete to get the most out of themselves in every moment.

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!
