My background is strong in the endurance sports world including 25 years of competitive experience competing in endurance sports, particularly triathlon, running, and some cycling. I started competing in triathlon in 2007 as a novice after collegiate running, moving up the ranks and racing in the elite-amateur division in triathlon. I still run competitively and I began running when I was just 12 years old consistently. My coaching is detailed and based on the individual, which includes an extensive athlete assessment, combined with years of experience and coupled knowledge to help you reach your goals. Throughout your training, we will meet and talk in person or virtually for performance and technical analysis. With this comes knowing my clients inside and outside the sport rather than just giving them a plan. I am more of a hands-on coach and getting to know my clients through their training sessions and feedback. Communication is the key between the coach and the athlete to reaching goals and staying injury-free. My commitment to you is to do all I can to help you reach your goals.

Hello! I've been coaching for over 16 years. I'm a USA Track and Field Level 3 Endurance Coach.
My background is strong in the endurance sports world including 25 years of competitive experience competing in endurance sports, particularly triathlon, running, and some cycling and over 16 years coaching experience. I've been coaching full time since 2022. I started competing in triathlon in 2007 as a novice after collegiate running, moving up the ranks and racing in the elite-amateur division in triathlon. I still run competitively and I began running when I was just 12 years old consistently. My coaching is detailed and based on the individual, which includes an extensive athlete assessment, combined with years of experience and coupled knowledge to help you reach your goals. Throughout your training, we will meet and talk in person or virtually for performance and technical analysis. With this comes knowing my clients inside and outside the sport rather than just giving them a plan. I am more of a hands-on coach and getting to know my clients through their training sessions and feedback. Communication is the key between the coach and the athlete to reaching goals and staying injury-free. My commitment to you is to do all I can to help you reach your goals.
Before we train together, I will have you fill out a questionnaire about your training background and goals, and we will review it together. Each athlete is different, but we will use the latest training techniques with the art of coaching.
Please message before booking to confirm availability.
Ask me about my virtual coaching options so you can train optimally each day.
Each training session will have a warmup, cool down, and proper paces or heart rate ranges based on your level. We also may include some running-specific or lateral strength work. In addition, depending on your needs, we could be working on running technique to improve your form - this will allow you to become more efficient and reduce injury risk.
Multiple State qualifiers & Regional Champions
My best coach I had was when I was racing triathlon very competitively, Brent Poulsen - he was a professional triathlete at the time I was training with him. I learned the ins and outs of training. He took me under his wing at the time and not only invested in me as an athlete but as a person too. He inspired me to become a coach that I am today.
I've been involved in the sport my entire life and it's a deep passion I have to share it with other athletes. Also, with any communication with a minor under 18, I copy the parent on any text messages or emails. Parents under 18 are required to stay unless we are meeting as a group with others.

Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
