About Me:
I’m a U.S. Soccer licensed coach and former NCAA Division II and European semi-professional player with a passion for helping athletes grow both on and off the field. I believe development is a process, not a shortcut, and my goal is to help players build confidence, consistency, and a deep understanding of the game while enjoying every step of their journey.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help players improve their technical skills, decision-making, confidence, and overall game understanding. Whether you’re working on ball mastery, passing and receiving, 1v1 situations, finishing, or positional awareness, I tailor each session to your age, level, and goals so you see real, measurable progress.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each session is structured and purposeful. We start with a dynamic warm-up and ball mastery, move into focused technical work with game-realistic repetitions, and finish with competitive exercises that apply skills under pressure. I give clear feedback throughout the session and always adjust the intensity and content to match the player’s needs and development stage.
Career summary and accomplishments:
• U.S. Soccer National C License (working toward B License)
• Former NCAA Division II player
• Former European semi-professional player
• Several years coaching youth players ages 8–18
• Experience coaching club, high school, and private sessions
• Ongoing work with individual athletes and small groups focused on long-term development
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was someone who demanded high standards while genuinely caring about players as people. He taught me the importance of discipline, attention to detail, and trust — values I now bring into every training session I run.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I take my responsibility as a coach seriously. I value safety, consistency, clear communication, and honesty. I care deeply about each athlete’s development and always aim to create a positive, challenging environment where players feel supported, motivated, and confident to improve. My focus is long-term growth, not quick fixes.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
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.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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!
