Where fun and hard work build confidence, technique, and game IQ

Through my experience in kinesiology, collegiate soccer, and high school coaching, I've learned that the best coaches never stop learning and that great coaching isn't one-size-fits-all. I adapt my approach to each athlete, helping them build confidence, refine technique, and reach their potential.

About me

Outside of coaching, I'm passionate about staying active, exploring the outdoors, and continuing to learn about health & wellness. I enjoy hiking, reading, traveling, and discovering new ways to improve both physically and mentally. I've always been someone who values growth and curiosity, and I love finding ways to challenge myself while staying connected to the things that bring me joy.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your fundamentals or prepare for the next level, my sessions are designed to help you make meaningful progress. We'll improve technical skills like first touch, passing, dribbling, finishing, and ball control while also developing decision-making, movement off the ball, and confidence in game situations. Every session is tailored to your goals, with clear feedback and purposeful repetition so you leave each training feeling more prepared than when you arrived.

Each one-hour session is personalized around the athlete's goals, skill level, and areas of development.We begin with movement preparation and technical work, where I provide hands- on instruction, demonstrations, and real-time feedback to help players understand and improve each skill. From there, we progress into challenging, game-like exercises that develop decision-making confidence, and the ability to apply skills under pressure. Every session is intentional, building on the last while giving players the tools and support they need to continue improving.

I am a former multi-sport athlete, collegiate soccer player, and high school coach with a strong background in athlete development and performance. Throughout my athletic career, I have competed at a high level across multiple sports, earning First Team honors in both soccer and track during my high school career, while also reaching the CIF Finals in track and field as a freshmen in 2017. I continued my soccer career at the collegiate level, earning 4-time All-Conference honors, serving as a 3-year team captain, and competing at theNAIA National Tournament. My experiences as an athlete, leader, and coach has shaped my understanding of discipline, confidence, and the process of continuous improvement. With the Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, I combine my knowledge of movement and performance with the passion of helping others grow and reach their goals.

The best coach I have ever had was Coach G because he taught me that great coaching is about much more than wins and losses—it is about building belief, confidence, and a culture where athletes want to improve. When he took over, we were a team that had struggled to find success, but he helped us change our mindset and believe that we were capable of competing at a higher level.

Coach G brought a level of energy, accountability, and passion that pushed us to become better players and better teammates. He understood that development doesn’t happen overnight, and he took the time to help each player grow while creating an environment where everyone felt valued. His ability to challenge us while still supporting us is something that had a lasting impact on me.

The lessons I learned from Coach G have carried with me into my own coaching. He showed me that the best coaches don’t just teach the game—they inspire confidence, create connections, and help athletes see potential in themselves that they may not have recognized. His coaching style is something I continue to model as I work with athletes today.

Athletes and parents should know that I value coaching as more than just teaching soccer skills— it’s about helping players grow as people. My journey as a collegiate athlete, team captain, kinesiology graduate, and high school coach has taught me the value of confidence, accountability, and perseverance. I understand the challenges athletes face because I experience than myself, and my goal is to create a supportive environment players feel challenged, encouraged, and capable of reaching their goals.

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.

  • Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.

  • Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.

  • Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
