Get to know Coach Zachary
About Me:
Growing up in a small town in Washington state, sports were my life. Through the years I played it all. Soccer, basketball, football, track/field, rugby; you name it I tried it. I loved the competition and challenges it brought with it. In my later high school years I turned my focus towards football and rugby, where I was blessed to receive collegiate offers for both. I ended playing D1 Rugby at Central Washington University, where I received senior honors and helped lead the team to three national championship appearances in the four years that I was there. After school I transitioned to a career in strength and conditioning, working as a coach for athletes of all levels and skillsets. I was blessed to have a lot of great coaches and mentors around me growing up and I'm looking to continue that trend, helping the next generation of athletes reach their dreams both on and off the field.
How I can help you improve your game:
Outside of my athletic experience I bring a deep knowledge of human movement and physiology and a background working with athletes in order to develop their strength, speed and power to transfer to their game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Dependent on our goals a session could take place out on the field or in the weight room. Initial sessions will begin with some form of assessment to get a baseline of where we are at, finding strengths and weaknesses, and developing a plan of action. After the initial we will develop foundational skills that translate to your game and build upon those skills.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have worked as a sports performance coach for the past seven years. In that time I have worked with a diverse clientele, both in age and background. For the past three years I have acted as lead coach for Sports Academy's NFL and NBA pre-draft programs, developing athletes looking to make the transition from college to the pros, producing several early round draftees and standouts. I have also worked with many more younger athletes from early high school days into their later collegiate and professional careers.
Best coach I ever had:
Greatest coach I ever had was a high school rugby coach named Rob Lynch. I admired him not only for his knowledge of the game but more so for the type of person he was. Taking care of and being there for kids when they had nothing. A true legend amongst men.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I'm here to support your athlete wherever I can.

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!
