About Me:
I majored in Physical Education in Shenzhen University, with comprehensive training in sports instruction and pedagogy. I have hands-on experience teaching volleyball to students of different skill levels and also compete as an active volleyball player, which enhances my ability to demonstrate techniques and develop effective training programs.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help you improve your game by building strong fundamentals and correcting technique in a clear, patient way. Whether you want to improve passing, serving, footwork, or overall game understanding, I break skills down into simple steps that make progress easy to see. I tailor each session to your goals and learning style, helping you gain confidence while developing consistent, game-ready skills.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me starts with a short warm-up to get your body ready and build good movement habits. We then focus on fundamental skills such as passing, serving, footwork, or any specific area you want to improve. I break techniques down into simple steps and give clear, patient feedback so you understand exactly how to adjust. We finish with game-like drills to help you apply the skills in real situations. Every session is positive, structured, and tailored to your level and goals.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have a strong background in volleyball as both a player and a coach, supported by my studies in Physical Education in China. Through formal training in coaching methods, movement science, and skill development, I’ve built a solid foundation for teaching athletes of all levels. I have coached youth and beginner players, helping them develop proper technique, confidence, and a love for the sport. My experience includes teaching core volleyball skills such as passing, serving, footwork, and ball control, along with developing structured training plans tailored to individual needs. My biggest accomplishment is seeing athletes grow, improve consistently, and enjoy the game more with each session.

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 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.
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!
