Stronger minds. Stronger Performances.
I help athletes build the mental skills that make performance consistent. Such as focus, confidence, emotional control, and resilience under pressure. My coaching is practical, fast, and built around tools athletes can use immediately in training, competition, and everyday life. Whether your athlete struggles with nerves, inconsistency, frustration, or staying locked‑in during big moments, I teach them how to regulate their mind the same way they train their body. The result is a calmer, more confident competitor who performs with purpose instead of reacting to stress.
How I can help you improve
Build the ability to stay calm, confident, and composed in high‑pressure moments.
Train attention control so athletes stay locked‑in longer and recover quickly from mistakes.
Learn tools to manage nerves, frustration, and performance anxiety.
Develop repeatable routines that create a stable, reliable sense of belief.
Strengthen clarity, anticipation, and tactical thinking under stress.
Turn setbacks into momentum instead of letting them derail performance.
My goal is simple: make your mind your competitive advantage.
A typical training session
Quick review of wins, challenges, and what we’re targeting today.
Hands-on mental skills training like breathing, focus drills, cognitive‑motor tasks, pressure simulations, or confidence routines.
We will break down actual game situations, reactions, and decision patterns.
Athletes learn a new skill or refine an existing one that they can use immediately.
Clear takeaways and a simple assignment to reinforce the skill between sessions.
Sessions are fast‑moving, athlete‑centered, and designed to build real improvement rather than talk about it.
Career & accomplishments
I’m a mental performance coach with a background in both competitive athletics and military human performance. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Kansas State University and my master’s degree from the University of North Texas, where I focused on the mental, cognitive, and behavioral skills that drive high‑level performance.
I’ve coached athletes across multiple sports and worked as a cognitive‑performance specialist within the Army’s Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) program, helping soldiers build focus, confidence, emotional regulation, resilience, and decision‑making under pressure.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was my high‑school basketball coach, who was undeniably tough but never harsh. He pushed us hard because he believed in us, and he paired every challenge with genuine support, understanding, and care. He expected discipline, effort, and accountability, yet he always made space for real conversations, personal growth, and the kind of mentorship that stays with you long after the season ends.
He taught me that great coaching isn’t just about demanding excellence, it’s about knowing your athletes, seeing their potential before they see it themselves, and helping them rise to meet it. His balance of intensity and empathy shaped the way I coach today. I hold athletes to a high standard, but I meet them with patience, clarity, and the same supportive presence he gave me.
What athletes & parents should know
I care deeply about helping athletes grow.
I teach skills that last.
I create a safe, supportive environment where athletes can talk openly about challenges.
I use competitive, hands‑on drills that make mental training engaging and fun.
I give athletes tools they can use immediately in practice, games, school, and life.
I believe every athlete deserves a coach who listens, adapts, and helps them become their best self.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
