Book Private Soccer Lessons with Coach Jonathan
As a coach, my approach is rooted in not just teaching the fundamentals of soccer, but also in fostering a love for the game and building confidence in young athletes. I emphasize the importance of accountability and discipline in each training session which ensures responsibility and self-motivation in young athletes. I strive to bring a positive and supportive environment where each player can thrive, develop their skills, and grow not just as athletes but as individuals.

About Me:
I earned my Applied Science degree in 2019, acquired leadership certificates from completed extensive leadership training programs, and have dedicated over three years as a volunteer head coach at the YMCA, actively contributing to my community.
How I can help you improve your game:
By focusing on the following:
Fundamentals
Positioning and Tactics
Physical fitness
Game experience
Etc. (The list goes on)
There is much more to evaluate when it comes to improving skills on and off the field.
An initial assessment is needed to understand what a player needs to focus on first.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session will include some of the following:
1. Fundamental drills
2. Defensive/Offensive drills
3. Agility drills
4. Physical Fitness drills
5. Striking drills
Depending on player experience, a variation of the drills will be implemented.
I also take the liberty of creating development plans to help players practice while outside of the training session.
This includes daily/weekly to do lists associated with their individual experience and other tools that will help with their game experience.
Career summary and accomplishments:
My coaching background is extensively in youth soccer. I have been coaching for the YMCA for the past 3 years and have successfully trained and developed over 50 players including my own children. I have also been coaching privately for 1 year outside of Athletes Untapped.
Best coach I ever had:
I'd like to give an honorable mention to Coach Pop from the Spurs. While I don't have a single coach who stands out as the best, I've learned valuable lessons from different mentors and experiences over the years. These experiences have shaped my own approach to coaching, emphasizing the importance of patience, adaptability, and creating a reassuring environment for young athletes.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I bring strong leadership and mentoring skills to my coaching. My experience in guiding young individuals, combined with a deep commitment to personal growth and development, equips me to effectively train and inspire young soccer players. I’m committed to bringing a coaching experience where athletes can thrive to be the best version of themselves. As a father, mentor, and leader I bring the necessary skills to establish a strong working relationship that harbors the tools for success both needed on and off the field.

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!
