About Me:
With a Bachelor of Science in kinesiology and over 10,000 hours of hands-on training experience, I’ve built a strong career focused on improving athletic performance and rehabilitation outcomes. As a state-level track and field competitor, I bring firsthand expertise to coaching, specializing in biomechanics, strength development, and injury prevention. My certifications in Basic Life Support (BLS) and concussion management reflect your commitment to safety and professionalism.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help an athlete improve their running game by analyzing their biomechanics to optimize running form, developing a tailored training program to enhance speed, endurance, and agility, and incorporating strength training, recovery techniques, and mental strategies to maximize overall performance.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
For track speed, after the warmup & water break I would start the main work which could consist of running 8 sets of 200m sprints & walking calmly back 200m to the start line as a rest time. After 4 sets we would take a 2-5min water break depending on athleticism. Then finish the last 4 sets of 200m leading into another water break & cooldown.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have a strong coaching background rooted in over 10,000 hours of hands-on training experience and a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology. I competed at a state level in track and field, bringing firsthand expertise to my coaching. Some of my qualifications include certifications in Basic Life Support (BLS) and concussion management, ensuring a safe and professional approach to training. Additionally, I’ve worked with diverse populations, including volunteering with kids with disabilities, showcasing my ability to adapt to individual needs and foster growth in athletes of all ages and abilities.
Best coach I ever had:
My favorite coach has to be my old high school coach De La Rosa who used to run for a D1 college university. He gave all his athletes an insight on next level biomechanics for all sports he coached. He was the same coach who recruited me to Varsity track my freshman year seeing my early potential for the sport.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know I prioritize safety, performance, and personalized development, backed by certifications in concussion in sports and BSL. My experience working with kids, including those with disabilities, highlights my adaptability and commitment to helping athletes of all abilities unlock their full potential in a supportive and encouraging environment.

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!
