About Me:
I played collegiate football at Ferris State University as a running back, where I was part of a National Championship team. My athletic journey has taught me discipline, perseverance, and what it takes to win at a high level. I’ve also transitioned into sports performance training, helping youth, high school, and college athletes and professionals reach their full potential.
How I can help you improve your game:
focus on building athletes from the ground up—starting with fundamentals, improving technique, and increasing confidence. I use a detailed, personalized approach that identifies strengths and weaknesses, then builds a plan to elevate performance. Whether it’s game speed, footwork, or football IQ, I help athletes maximize their potential through consistent and intentional training.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A session usually starts with a dynamic warm-up and movement prep. From there, we move into speed and agility work, followed by position-specific drills tailored to the athlete’s sport or goals. We finish with conditioning, mental focus work, and a cooldown. Every session is structured to challenge the athlete and build real, game-time improvement.
Career summary and accomplishments:
have over three years of coaching experience, including time as a graduate assistant running backs coach at Ferris State University. I’ve trained athletes of all levels—youth, high school, college, and professionals. I specialize in sports performance and position-specific training, focusing on speed, strength, agility, and football IQ.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my head coach at Ferris State. He built a winning culture centered around brotherhood, accountability, and relentless effort. He taught me how to lead by example and stay focused on the bigger picture—lessons that still guide me today in my life and coaching.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m passionate about developing athletes both physically and mentally. I bring real experience from competing at a championship level and coaching athletes from youth to the pros. My goal is to help athletes unlock their potential and guide them with intention, consistency, and care.

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!
