Book Private Soccer Lessons with Coach Braeden
The most important thing for a trainer is to actually care about what they are doing! And I have a burning passion for soccer and especially seeing the level of it increase in the United States. I have vast experience with kids camps, 1 on 1 private sessions, soccer camps, as well as club coaching and a respectable personal career that isn’t over yet.

Get to know Coach Braeden
About Me:
Current player at Cal State La. Spent four years at Westmont College (D2). Was named all conference twice as well as a first team all-American my senior year. Recorded the most goals and assists at Westmont since 2010.
How I can help you improve your game:
Given that I’ve been in and around the college and professional world of soccer. I understand what players need to be able to do to make it to the next step in their journey. I also know that everyone is different and can adjust to each player to help them learn and grow while also having fun at practice.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session varies with age but begins with the same warmup: dynamic stretches and quick feet and activation of the core muscles. We will then focus solely on technical skills that need improving with the ball. Then we will do more live play that is positional based. And then every training session will finish with drills more catered to your kid having fun! (Shooting, races, etc).
Career summary and accomplishments:
Held private sessions in Santa Barbara in 2023. Was a volunteer coach at Santa Barbara Soccer Club as well as Tacoma Public Schools. Have also worked soccer camps at Westmont College.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I have ever had is Morgan Cathey of Westmont College. He makes it very obvious that the players and their success on and off the field is his biggest concern.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a very technical player myself, and even though I’m a bigger player I understand how important mastering technique is to the game. I pride myself in being present with the athletes I’m training and giving them the training I wish I had when I was growing up.

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!
