Helping you move better, lift heavier, and perform at your peak
With over 5 years of experience as a certified strength and conditioning specialist through the NSCA, I have worked in Division 1 and high school athletics, including roles at the United States Air Force Academy and top Colorado high schools. I specialize in developing high-performance athletes through science-based strength and conditioning. I’ve led specific programs for over 15 different sports, and currently serve as Director of Strength & Conditioning at Palmer Ridge High School. My mission is to build stronger, faster, and more resilient athletes—on and off the field.

Get to know Coach Troy
About Me:
I grew up with a passion for football and continued my playing career at Nebraska Wesleyan University, where my love for athletics and performance training truly took root. Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to helping athletes reach their full potential—whether at the collegiate level, high school, or in private performance settings.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me on the golf course or spending time with my wife and two sons.
How I can help you improve your game:
Whether you're an athlete looking to gain a competitive edge or a coach aiming to elevate your team's performance, I bring years of experience and proven systems to help you move better, get stronger, and perform at your peak. My coaching focuses on building a solid foundation of strength, speed, and injury resilience—tailored to your sport, goals, and level. With a background in both elite and high school athletics, I know how to meet athletes where they are and help them level up—physically and mentally.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each session is designed with purpose and progression in mind. We start with a dynamic warm-up focused on mobility and gradually elevate heart rate to prepare the body for performance. From there, we move into speed and power development—training explosive movements that translate directly to sport. The core of the session is dedicated to strength work, followed by targeted accessory exercises to address individual needs and imbalances. We finish with a cooldown that includes mobility work and corrective strategies to improve movement quality and address any deficits.
While the structure remains consistent, programming is tailored to your sport and season—whether you're in the off-season, pre-season, or in-season—to ensure optimal performance and recovery.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I bring a lifelong passion for athletics and over a decade of experience in strength and conditioning. As a former NCAA football player at Nebraska Wesleyan University and an All-Conference high school athlete, I understand firsthand what it takes to compete at a high level. I’m a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the NSCA and have coached athletes across multiple sports, including football, basketball, and wrestling, at both the high school and collegiate levels. My programs have consistently produced low injury rates and measurable performance improvements. I’ve helped numerous athletes earn collegiate scholarships and take their game to the next level.
Best coach I ever had:
My best coach and still current mentor has been Coach Buck Blackwood at the United States Air Force Academy. He has helped shape me into the coach I am today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m an intent-driven coach who believes in purposeful training and measurable results. Every session is built with a clear plan, backed by data, and tailored to the athlete’s goals, sport, and season. I prioritize safety, long-term development, and performance, with a strong track record of low injury rates and consistent progress. Communication and collaboration with parents and coaches are key to my approach—I want everyone involved to understand the “why” behind the work we do. My goal is to build not just better athletes, but more confident, disciplined, and resilient young people.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
