Get to know Daniel
Need a throws coach, I’m your guy!
Hi, my name is Daniel. I’m a former Mississippi State track and field athlete, and I’ve always had a passion for the sport. I’d love the opportunity to help coach the next generation of track athletes. My goal is to help athletes improve their technique, build confidence, and maximize their performance so they can outthrow the competition. I want to create a positive environment where athletes work hard, have fun, and reach their full potential
How I can help you improve
I can help improve your performance by teaching the techniques and drills I learned during my four years as a collegiate thrower and one year as a collegiate throws coach. I’ll help you become a fundamentally sound thrower by focusing on proper technique, consistency, and confidence. My goal is to help you throw farther, compete with confidence, and perform at your best when it matters most.
A typical training session
A typical session starts with a short warm-up to get the body ready. From there, we focus on drills and fundamentals to build proper technique. We finish with full throws, allowing athletes to apply what they’ve learned!!
Career & accomplishments
I competed as a thrower at Mississippi State University, where I became the freshman record holder in both the discus and hammer throw in 2020. By the time I graduated in 2023, I ranked second all-time in Mississippi State history in both the weight throw and hammer throw, and I qualified for the NCAA East Regional Championships during my junior year. Before college, I was a multiple-time high school state champion in the shot put and discus, as well as an AAU National Champion in the discus. I also spent a year coaching at the collegiate level, where I continued developing athletes and refining my coaching philosophy. My experience as both an athlete and coach allows me to help throwers improve their technique, consistency, and confidence to perform at their highest level.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was my college coach. He believed in me from the very beginning, recruiting me out of high school when he saw something in me before I fully saw it in myself. His belief and guidance shaped me both as an athlete and as a person.
What athletes & parents should know
Athletes and parents should know that I want every kid who picks up the sport of track and field to love it as much as I did and get the same joy and fulfillment that I found through it. Track and field was a unique and meaningful experience in my life, and it helped shape who I am today. I want every athlete I work with to have the opportunity to experience that same passion, growth, and excitement while building confidence and creating memories they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.

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!
