Empowering young athletes with the skills, mindset, and passion to excel in soft
With years of competitive experience in softball and soccer, including playing D1 before a back injury, I’m passionate about coaching the next generation of driven athletes. My goal is to develop not just their technical skills but also their confidence, discipline, and love for the game. Through personalized training and mentorship, I help young players elevate their performance and mindset to reach their full potential.
How I can help you improve
I take a personalized approach to coaching by focusing on both the physical and mental aspects of the game. I work on improving technical skills, game strategy, and overall athletic performance through tailored drills, conditioning, and mindset training. Whether it’s refining mechanics, increasing game awareness, or building confidence under pressure, I help athletes develop the tools they need to perform at their best. My goal is not just to make them better players, but to instill a work ethic and mindset that will benefit them both on and off the field.
A typical training session
Each training session is personalized based on the athlete’s needs and progress, but generally, we start with a dynamic warm-up to prevent injuries and get the body ready. Then, we focus on skill-specific drills—whether that’s hitting, fielding, footwork, ball control, or positional work. I incorporate game-like scenarios to build decision-making skills and confidence under pressure. We also work on conditioning, agility, and mental toughness to ensure well-rounded development. Every session ends with a review, feedback, and a game plan for improvement. My goal is to challenge athletes while keeping training engaging and effective
Career & accomplishments
My coaching journey started in high school when I spent my free time coaching middle school soccer, sharing my love for the game with younger athletes. Since then, my experience as a D1 softball player and lifelong competitor in both softball and soccer has given me a deep understanding of player development, strategy, and leadership. I specialize in working with motivated young athletes, helping them refine their skills, build confidence, and develop a strong work ethic both on and off the field. My coaching philosophy focuses on technical excellence, mental toughness, and fostering a passion for the game, preparing athletes for success at every level.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was my high school soccer coach. I felt a strong connection to him based on how much he believed in me and in effect pushed me. Prior to going off to college he trained me year round.
What athletes & parents should know
As a former D1 softball player and lifelong competitor in both softball and soccer, I understand what it takes to excel at the highest levels. My journey was shaped by dedication, resilience, and overcoming setbacks—including a career-shifting back injury. Now, my passion is helping young athletes develop the skills, mindset, and work ethic needed to reach their full potential.

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!
