Book Private Ice-hockey Lessons with Coach Tristan
Hey! My name is Tristan Lam and I’m currently 21 years old. I have recently concluded my junior hockey career and I’m more than happy to be helping out the next generation! Now having gone through the different stages and tiers of hockey, I only want to help the youth grow and develop. During the season, there is not much time to work on skills, or the little details and that’s what I’m here for! Up this point in my career, I’d like to say I am a relatively skilled player and I’d love to teach the youth what I can do, so they can do it as well!

How I can help you improve your game:
By helping them improve their stick skills, awareness, and their mental game. I praise putting a reason behind why I have clients do certain drills, making sure it gets instilled in their head.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I typically like to switch up what I have clients do. I will normally have many variations of drills working on passing, shooting, stickhandling, etc. Or, if the client has something they’d like to work on, I will cater to that!
Career summary and accomplishments:
During my playing time, I’ve participated in many private sessions. Meaning I know how to teach in the most effective way. As far as myself, I have coached kids from ages 6, all the way to age 24! I am currently an assistant coach for a peewee team in Pasadena. Being an assistant coach allows me to not have to worry so much about systems and worry more about skills. Going to the kids after their repetition, letting them know what they could do better or what they did well.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coaches I’ve had were the coaches who prioritized details and the players. I look to do the same!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m young! I may not be as experienced in terms of coaching as some other coaches, though I’m fresh out of the gate from my playing career. Therefore, I know what it’s like to be a young player looking to improve.

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!
