Get to know Coach ABDELLAH
About Me:
I am an experienced soccer coach with over 10 years of combined playing and coaching experience. I hold a US Soccer D License, opposition analysis certification (PFSA, UK), and Futsal Level 1 and 2 certifications. I have successfully coached youth teams (ages 14–18), focusing on player development, tactical analysis, and team cohesion.
As a semi-professional player and coach, I have a proven track record of improving individual performance and fostering team success. My expertise in opposition analysis and modern soccer strategies equips players to compete at their highest level.
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus on identifying a player’s strengths and areas for improvement through personalized assessments. My training emphasizes technical skills like ball control, passing, and finishing, as well as tactical awareness to understand positioning, decision-making, and game strategies.
I also help players improve their fitness, agility, and mental toughness, ensuring they can perform at their best under pressure. By providing constructive feedback and tailored drills, I guide players to build confidence, sharpen their skills, and elevate their overall game performance.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session starts with a dynamic warm-up to improve flexibility, coordination, and injury prevention. This is followed by technical drills focusing on skills like passing, dribbling, shooting, or ball control.
Next, we move to tactical exercises, such as small-sided games or situational drills, to develop game intelligence and teamwork. The session ends with conditioning work to build fitness and a cool-down with stretching to aid recovery.
Each session is tailored to the player’s needs, ensuring a balance of challenge, improvement, and enjoyment.

My approach combines technical training, game analysis, and personalized feedback to help players reach their full potential. I am committed to developing confident, disciplined athletes who are prepared to succeed both on and off the field.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was someone who not only taught me the technical and tactical aspects of soccer but also inspired me to grow as a person. They emphasized discipline, teamwork, and the mental side of the game, showing me that success on the field starts with the right mindset.
Their ability to break down complex strategies into simple, actionable steps helped me understand the game at a deeper level. More importantly, they believed in my potential, which motivated me to work harder and aim higher. That experience shaped my coaching philosophy today—I strive to be that kind of coach for my players.

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 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.
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!
