I am dedicated to this game called soccer.

I am a former international player with experience playing across Europe. I had the honor of captaining the French Guiana National Team for over eight years, during which we competed in the Gold Cup. In addition to my playing career, I am a certified coach with a UEFA B license, which qualifies me to coach both professional youth clubs and senior amateur teams. My passion for soccer runs deep, and I’m eager to share the knowledge I’ve gained throughout my career. I also offer exciting opportunities for soccer players aged 15-18 who want to test their skills in France or England, with the chance to be scouted by professional clubs. This could also serve as a valuable cultural experience, allowing players to immerse themselves in the world of French and English professional soccer. Soccer has given me so much, and I’m committed to giving back to the game in any way I can.

How I can help you improve your game:

Evaluating theirs needs to do a lot of specific training.

-Technical Training: I focus on developing core skills like passing, shooting, dribbling, and ball control. By working on the fundamentals, players can build a solid technical foundation that’s essential for success on the field.

-Tactical Awareness: I help players understand the game’s strategy—how to read the game, positioning, decision-making, and how to anticipate opponents’ moves. This improves their ability to make smart choices in high-pressure situations.

-Physical Conditioning: Soccer requires agility, speed, strength, and endurance. I work on fitness programs tailored to each player’s needs to help improve their stamina and physical performance on the field.

-Mental Toughness: Soccer is as much a mental game as it is physical. I help players develop confidence, focus, and resilience, so they can stay calm under pressure and maintain their performance throughout a game.

-Match Experience: I also give players the opportunity to participate in real match situations, whether through friendly games or simulated drills, to apply what they’ve learned in a realistic environment.

-Individualized Coaching: Every player is different. I provide personalized coaching based on each player’s strengths, weaknesses, and goals to ensure they are progressing and improving at their own pace.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

To start I like talk with the player first to see how his day has been going to know where his or her head is.

Warm-up (10-15 minutes):

The session begins with a dynamic warm-up to get the body ready for action. This can include light jogging, high knees, butt kicks, lateral movements, and some ball touches. The goal is to activate muscles, increase blood flow, and prevent injury.

Technical Drills (20-25 minutes):

We focus on core skills such as passing, dribbling, and shooting. These drills can be done in pairs or small groups, and we often work on specific areas that need improvement. For example, one drill might involve quick passes in tight spaces, while another focuses on finishing techniques.

Tactical Training (20-25 minutes):

After refining technical skills, we move into tactical training. This may involve small-sided games, positioning exercises, or scenarios where players have to make decisions based on the situation. I’ll work with players on things like positioning, reading the game, and understanding team dynamics in attack and defense.

Small-Sided Games (15-20 minutes):

This is a fun and competitive part of the session, where players apply what they’ve learned in a game-like environment. We play 4v4, 5v5, or other small-sided games to simulate real match situations, focusing on quick transitions, teamwork, and decision-making under pressure.

Conditioning (10-15 minutes):

Fitness is crucial in soccer, so we’ll include some conditioning exercises. This could involve sprint drills, shuttle runs, or agility exercises designed to build stamina, speed, and explosive power.

Cool-down (5-10 minutes):

To wrap up, we’ll cool down with light jogging or stretching to help with recovery and flexibility. I may lead a brief team talk to review the session and discuss what went well and what can be improved.

Career summary and accomplishments:

I also coached for the clubs that I played for. I love working with players so they can improve. I have my UEFA B license which allows me to coach youth professional clubs.

Best coach I ever had:

Coach Tommy Taylor who was an ex player of West Ham United

What athletes and parents should know about me:

That I also have my Masters degree in teaching English as a second language. I am also a father of 2 children.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.

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.

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!
