With over 32 years immersed in soccer — from playing at the college level to earning national coaching certifications — I’ve dedicated my life to the beautiful game. My journey includes serving on the board of directors for my local soccer league, coaching a travel team for four years, and currently leading a high school varsity team. In 2018 and 2019, I was honored as High School Coach of the Year, with one of my players earning Player of the Year consecutively. Starting my soccer journey at age 10, my passion has only deepened over the years. I’m committed to continuous learning, playing, competing, and teaching. Let me guide you to fuel your passion and elevate your understanding and love for soccer.
Soccer starts in the mind and flows through the body. In our sessions, we’ll develop your champion mindset, mental resilience, ball and body control, and problem-solving skills. Creativity and independent thinking on the pitch are crucial. Together, we’ll tailor each session to your unique needs, diagnosing and addressing your specific challenges. This is the beginning of your journey to playing at your highest level.
Each training session is tailored to your individual needs, focusing on both skill development and confidence building. We’ll engage in dynamic drills and exercises designed to enhance footwork, shooting, defensive techniques, and overall gameplay. In a supportive and encouraging environment, you’ll be empowered to push your limits and strive for excellence. Whether we’re working on touch, dribbling, passing, shooting, or positioning, every session is structured to optimize your learning and growth, leaving you inspired, motivated, and confident to excel on the field.
With over 32 years immersed in the game, my journey spans from playing at the college level to earning national coaching certifications. I’ve designed technical training programs for teams, served on the board of directors for my local soccer league, and coached a competitive travel team for four years. Currently, I lead a high school varsity team, where my dedication to player development has been recognized with back-to-back High School Coach of the Year awards. Additionally, one of my players earned High School Player of the Year honors in consecutive seasons. My experience, passion, and commitment to the game drive me to help players reach their highest potential.
I became a coach because I never had the mentor I truly needed. While my college coaches were better than those I had in high school, something was always missing. That realization fueled my passion to become the coach I wished I’d had—one who develops players not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
For decades, I’ve dedicated myself to building my experience, refining my coaching philosophy, and honing my skills to be that coach. My journey of learning never stops, and I bring that same mindset to my players. I’ll share with you everything I’ve researched, applied, and proven to work—because growth is a never-ending process.
Join me, and let’s unlock the phenomenal player and person within you.
As your coach, my commitment goes beyond the game—I’m invested in you as a player and as a person. Every session is tailored to your unique needs, helping you build confidence, refine your skills, and develop a deeper love for the sport. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s personal, intentional, and designed to bring out the best in you.
Parents can trust that I am not only focused on technical development but also on fostering resilience, discipline, and a growth mindset in every athlete I train. I value feedback, embrace continuous improvement, and strive for excellence in every aspect of coaching. Through genuine connections and a passion for helping players reach their full potential, I create a transformative experience where growth happens—both on the field and beyond.

Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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!
