I can meet you where you are, but I will push you to be your best version.
You should train with me because the training I provide can only be found in highly touted and funded facilities like top-area high schools and colleges. To receive training like that you have to be selected, I want to put the power in your hands to be able to select elite training for you or your athlete.

About Me:
I was a starting 2-way starting pitcher and outfielder for 5 years in college. I am currently a Strength and Conditioning coach with 8+ years of experience in elite-level training.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help you improve your game by teaching mechanics and techniques in a way the athlete understands at their level
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Pitching/Hitting: We start with a General warm-up: Running, Dynamic Stretching, and any other pre-movement prep. Next we would train the movements we will work on for the day with plyo-balls or medicine balls, these movements are based around rotation and very similar to sport requirements. Lastly we would finish up with throwing or hitting, these drills can range from highly detail specific/low reps to low detail specificity/high reps (conditioning).
For Resistance-training: athlete would follow the RAMP protocol starting with a General warmup, Dynamic stretching/specific warm-up, and Potentiation. Resistance training regimen is structured around the demands of the sport and skill level of the athlete. Core movements for baseball include: Bench press, Squat, Hex-bar deadlift, Clean and Snatch follow by accessory exercises to localize and accentuate strength and power develop in core movements.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I was a 5 year Starting Pitcher, I sported a 2.50 Career ERA amassing over 200 innings pitched with an average of 3:1 strikeout to walk ratio during that time. Over my career I tossed a couple complete games (no shut-outs), and received athlete of the week nominations from the American Midwest Conference (AMC).
Best coach I ever had:
My summer ball high school coach Tony Datolli. He was the first coach I received lessons from for pitching and hitting. He taught be hard work, how to develop a routine to become an everyday player on the field, and respect.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am as committed as you are to developing your craft. I naturally give 110% effort, so I expect the same when it comes time for lessons or weightlifting. I am all for having fun and a good time, but we must not waste time. Lastly, communication is key I am here to help you, but I can only help you if I know exactly what you need.

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!
