Get to know William
Former D3 lacrosse defensemen, with a focus on speed, explosiveness, and form
I am someone who wants to help your athlete grow as a player as well as a person. Learning how to become stronger physically, as well as push the mind to get into the grit mindset.
How I can help you improve
I can help you improve your game by bringing my twelve years of playing lacrosse experience, coaching for five of them. I have worked with many kids ranging from FOGOs, attackmen, close D, and LSMs. Using all of this knowledge to help you progress and take the next steps to become a better player.
A typical training session
A typical training session looks like getting to the field, doing a dynamic warmup with some static stretches. After that, starting with some game theory/IQ workshopping, followed by some drills to apply the knowledge learned from that. After that, doing footwork with stick skills to further improve those skills. Finally, work with the athlete on something they want to improve on, whether that be shooting form or other small skills.
Career & accomplishments
Started playing lacrosse in sixth grade, and played select teams from there on. Played varsity for three years in high school, playing on national teams during the offseason, ending with being the captain during my senior year. After that going to university for a year and a half as a close D pole, before having a career-ending injury. I was the strength and conditioning coach for the high school team this year, with plans on coaching select this summer.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was my high school coach. He pushed me to be better every day and taught me many valuable lessons around not just lacrosse but being a good person who can be trusted by my teammates to be that extra 1% better every day.
What athletes & parents should know
Athletes and parents should know that I listen to feedback, will help you in any way I am able to, and have the heart for this game that comes from over a decade of playing. I am very passionate about making the next generation of players better so that they are able to pass their experiences and lessons learned onto the next generation.

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!
