I have an eye for subtle changes that make drastic differences.
I have an eye for subtle changes that make drastic differences.
I'm extremely affordable because teaching is my passion and I have helped coach some of the best young talent, developed and implemented programming for ages 7-14 and worked with all demographics. I have a background in nursing so I can identify mobility and health constraints and adapt to almost any style of place. Everyone has a style and my goal is to help perfect yours while having a great experience.

About Me:
I have been teaching for over 2 years and certified to teach up to the 4.0 level. I have won multiple events from a beginner player at the 2.5/3.0 level to winning a major tournament at the 3.5 level, followed by winning several large tournaments and club championship in Michigan at the 4.0 level. My partner and I placed at the 4.5 level for mix and after that I decided to take a year to mostly train. My mix partner and I took silver at the State games at 4 0 in 2024.
How I can help you improve your game:
Fundaments and building off solid fundamentals are key to improving in pickleball. I had to deconstruct my game after a year and be willing to learn a new way.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
They're all dictated by light warm up and areas that I readily spot or if someone has a specific area they would like to work we can focus there. I try not to cover more than 2 things per season to get fundamental reps and increase the quality of reps.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Best coach I ever had:
Dan Mcconnon and Coach Russell because I have not really sought out other coaches. Dan has a gift for teaching, is patient and so encouraging.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have too much fun.

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!
