How I can help you improve your game:
I can assist players in enhancing their game through a diverse array of methods. My primary focus lies in providing insights into the nuances that distinguish good players from elite ones on the field. Moreover, I prioritize improving their game by emphasizing the crucial mental aspects, offering guidance on how to cultivate a resilient mindset. For instance, while anyone can execute a 10-yard pass, consistency under pressure, with thousands watching, requires specific mental fortitude. I also demonstrate and encourage the development of beneficial habits both on and off the field, empowering players to excel in any situation they encounter.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each training session begins with a comprehensive warm-up to prepare the players physically for peak performance. Once warmed up, the focus shifts to addressing individual player needs and specific positional requirements. Typically, sessions start with fundamental ball work and passing drills, crucial skills for all players irrespective of their position on the field.
Additionally, my training regimen integrates ball-centric drills to enhance fitness effectively, avoiding mindless running or sprints. I emphasize the development of intelligent soccer players who grasp the significance of precise passing techniques, ensuring they make correct decisions under pressure.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Best coach I ever had:
Bob Bradley and Stephan Glass stand out as some of the best coaches I've encountered in my professional soccer career. Their coaching not only enhanced my tactical acumen but also underscored the significance of consistent hard-work and dedication to the finer details, crucial for achieving one's goals day in and day out.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
As a private soccer coach, athletes and parents should know several key points about me:
Professionalism: I maintain a professional demeanor and approach in all interactions. This includes punctuality, clear communication, and a commitment to the athlete's progress and well-being.
Passion for Development: I am deeply passionate about soccer and coaching. My goal is not only to improve technical skills but also to instill valuable lessons such as the importance of discipline, perseverance, success academically, and mindset.
Overall, athletes and parents can trust that I am dedicated to their success and development as soccer players, aiming to maximize their potential whether they have goals of going to college or playing professionally.

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!
