I began assistant coaching with my dad back in 2015, when my stepsister joined a local soccer team. Ever since then, I’ve been involved in coaching. I was a middle school assistant coach in 2018-2020, with my dad as head coach. While at college I would often travel back home when, I could, to coach alongside my dad. I also worked for another Soccer company in the RDU area and truly enjoyed it, but felt I wanted to do something more.
This may sound corny, but my best coach has been my dad. I have two older siblings who were interested in soccer at a young age, my dad never played a day in his life, but he quickly got up to speed on the rules and some concepts of soccer and began coaching. He coached me for a majority of my early soccer career and still continued to from the sidelines in my collegiate career. I could always call or talk to my dad about how my games went and ask him for advice on what I should do to improve. Although he is strict, he is a phenomenal coach. He cares about all his players, on and off the field, he makes sure he shows up for them.
I have been playing soccer for a long time, my goal is to help the athlete build confidence while also challenging them. As a coach I want to be someone that you know has the knowledge, experience, and dedication to helping the athlete compete to the best of their abilities. As a former athlete I have a broad experience with playing at different levels and the difficulties that come with them. My job is to be there to not only coach the athlete, but to encourage them to be the best athlete they can be, on and off the field. I understand what it’s like to be an athlete, and I want to help and guide our next generation of athletes.

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.
