Get to know Grant
When it comes to goalie training, I am here to help! I have always been a little undersized, but I learned how to elevate my game through skating and fundamentals to maximize my potential through my strengths. You will get a good workout with me, I will not lie, but the harder you train, the easier and more fluent the game will be for you. 2x unanimous SWOSHL 1st team all-conference 2022 SWOSHL Regular and Postseason Champion
How I can help you improve
As a kid and still now, have been considered undersized, so to combat these things I honed my skating and edges as well as my angles so I could make myself look bigger and move better as a smaller goalie.
A typical training session
It will be a healthy serving of skating, edge work, and angles to hone that in and get them as comfortable as possible in their net and crease. Will obviously take many shots, but I do not want your player to feel like they are a shooting target, but the shots they see are going to get them into game-like situations so when something like a drill happens in a game it is second nature to them
Career & accomplishments
I have coached spottily from younger ages to as high up as my old high school. Currently looking to get more into coaching through this.
Best coach I ever had
Best coach I ever had was my coach when I was 11-13 years old and he was the nicest man, but he knew to push us to our limits. Was the perfect combination of loving and tough, and I want to emulate his style to those I get the opportunity to coach with here and beyond.
What athletes & parents should know
Your kids will be tired after and hopefully a little sore the next day. I am going to skate them to help them when they need it in the third period in a close game. I am not going to yell at them unless it is an extreme situation or it's a loud environment. Unless it is necessary feel that yelling does not do that much except scare and make the kids lose focus.

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!
