Owner, Coach Andrea, has worked with youth since 2000. She spent her college years studying Early Education and Sport Management with a minor in Business.
After receiving her degree from The University of Texas at Austin, she worked for a Division 1 collegiate team, Fox Sports Chicago, MLS, NBA, and WNBA.
During the workday, you can find her with her clipboard as she tutors student-athletes for UT Athletics Department. She helps football student-athletes develop strong study habits to become independent learners by providing one-on-one academic support.
Coach also keeps a stopwatch in her toolkit to help those reach their health goals through exercise. Her umbrella company, Empowered Fitness LLC, offers virtual personal training and kickboxing instruction.
Being a native Austinite, her childhood was spent in South Austin playing sports with her siblings and being the daughter of two AISD educators. Her creativity and organization comes from her mother who is a retired bilingual kindergarten teacher. While her athleticism derives from her father who is a retired athletic director.
After starting her career in Chicago, she returned home and recruited her parents to write an age-specific curriculum for both Play Sports programs.
When not wearing her whistle, Coach loves road trips with her scruffy dog, home organizing, interior design, museums, live music, live sports, hosting dinner parties, and supporting other women-owned businesses.
Leading with discipline and structure, her approach will ensure success in a safe and empowering environment.
