Book Private Soccer Lessons with Coach Aiden
Most of my life people have said that I'm not good enough, and then I proved otherwise. Sometimes all it takes is having one more person believe in you. I hope to be that person for you. Whether you are a successful and talented player or someone who constantly gets told you are not good enough, I can relate. I have lived through the highs and lows of this cruel game and am still doing so today. At 14 the Philadelphia Union cut me from their system. I went on to play the club circuit and won 5 state championships, 2 regional championships, and 2 national league titles. Freshman year of high school I failed to make the varsity team. Senior year of high school I was the All-American game MVP. Freshman year of college I red-shirted. Senior year of college I was team captain and selected in the 3rd round of the MLS draft. Now I play professionally in Atlanta and want more. Throughout my career, I've learned a lot about myself and what coaches could and should do to help. It is because of these experiences that I wish to help develop the next generation of people and players as a coach. I want to have the ability to offer top-level coaching to players outside of the politics that too often tear players down. People and clubs have their opinions, so when you disagree the best thing to do is surround yourself with people that believe in you and go to work. Without the special group of coaches I have had in my corner I would not be the person or player I am today. As a coach, I promise to be in your corner.

How I can help you improve your game:
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Career summary and accomplishments:
I began my coaching journey at the age of 13 working with EPL Camps to run summer camps at my club facilities. I would hang out with professional coaches from European academies all day, many of whom had previously coached me the years prior. I helped run this camp every summer until I went off to college. From the ages of 16-18, I worked with the West Chester Little Players program to offer private coaching to younger players in the area. Throughout college and up until this year I offered "unofficial" private training sessions to local players. In the summer of 2020, I worked for Challenger Sports in Wisconsin as the camp director, trainer, and administrator.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Mark. He believed in my ability while constantly asking more from me. While I was often a bit of a head case as a young player he managed me well and somehow helped guide me down the path I am still walking today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
As a kid, I was a central midfielder and attacking midfielder. In college, I was a winger and a forward. Now I am an outside-back. I understand this game very well, and more than anything have learned that you have to be mentally strong to excel at it.

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!
