After more than 9 years in professional football and earning opportunities with Team USA bobsled, I've learned that success comes from mastering the details. Today, I help athletes build confidence, improve performance, and develop the habits that create long term success. Whether we're working on football skills, athletic development, or mindset, every session is designed to challenge athletes, accelerate growth, and help them perform at their highest level.

I'm a former professional football player, 5x champion, and Team USA bobsled athlete with more than 9 years of experience competing at a high level.
Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to train and compete alongside elite athletes, coaches, and performance professionals across the United States, Europe, and South America. Those experiences taught me that success comes from mastering the details, building confidence through preparation, and developing habits that translate both on and off the field.
Today, I work with athletes of all ages to improve sport specific skills, athletic performance, confidence, and mindset. My coaching style combines technical instruction, positive accountability, and real world experience from my own journey as a professional athlete.
Whether we're working on football skills, speed and agility, athletic development, or performance mindset, my goal is simple: help athletes level up their performance, build confidence, and reach their full potential.

My goal is to help athletes build confidence, sharpen their skills, and develop the habits that create long term success both in sport and in life.
**What a Typical Remote Training Session Looks Like**
Every session is personalized to the athlete's goals, position, experience level, and current areas for improvement.
**1. Goal Setting & Check In (5 minutes)**
We start by discussing recent performances, challenges, successes, and the specific focus for the session.
**2. Film Review & Evaluation (10 to 20 minutes)**
We'll break down game film, practice footage, or training clips to identify strengths, opportunities for growth, and key adjustments that can make an immediate impact.
**3. Skill Development & Football IQ (15 to 25 minutes)**
Depending on the athlete, we may cover route running, releases, coverage recognition, leverage, positioning, game awareness, confidence, preparation, or position specific concepts.
**4. Performance & Mindset Coaching (10 to 15 minutes)**
We discuss confidence, preparation habits, accountability, leadership, goal setting, and the mental side of performing at a high level.
**5. Action Plan & Next Steps (5 minutes)**
Every session ends with clear takeaways, drills, focus points, and actionable steps the athlete can immediately apply before our next meeting.
My goal is for every athlete to leave with greater clarity, confidence, and a specific plan for improvement.

**Todd Durkin**
TD had a major impact on me because he challenged me to grow as both an athlete and a person. His energy, leadership, and ability to bring out the best in people helped shape how I approach performance, mindset, and coaching today.
One of the biggest lessons I learned from him was that success comes from consistency, preparation, and showing up with purpose every day. That philosophy continues to influence how I train, compete, and work with athletes.
**What Athletes and Parents Should Know About Me**
I genuinely care about the athletes I work with and take pride in helping them grow both on and off the field.
As a former professional football player, Team USA bobsled athlete, and 5x champion, I've experienced the highs and lows that come with pursuing ambitious goals. Because of that, I understand that every athlete's journey is different.
My coaching philosophy is built around confidence, accountability, attention to detail, and creating an environment where athletes can improve while enjoying the process. I believe great coaching goes beyond drills and techniques. It involves helping athletes develop discipline, leadership, resilience, and habits that will serve them long after their playing days are over.
Parents can expect professionalism, clear communication, and a coach who wants the best for their child. Athletes can expect energy, encouragement, honest feedback, and a commitment to helping them reach their potential.
My goal is simple: help athletes become better players, better competitors, and more confident individuals.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
