Santa Clara D1 & UPSL Pro: making skills show up in games.
Santa Clara D1 & UPSL Pro: making skills show up in games.
There are hundreds of personal soccer trainers and a majority of them have the kids go through similar drills but the issue for me is a lot of the time the kids are not implementing these skills in the games . My goal is to make sure what we are training on, translates to the game. The skill can be refined by training on their own but the ability to implement these skills in the game is where I come into play. Ultimately I would love to help your kid get to the net level whether that is trying out for a competitive team, high school team or even trying to get on an academy or college team I'm here to help!

About Me:
Started playing when I was 5 and got in competitive soccer around 10. When I was 14 they started the academy system And I played with CDA AND San Juan. I was recruited to Santa Clara University a D1 soccer program and have been playing semi professional in the UPSL for the last 5 years.
How I can help you improve your game:
your kid will drastically improve their technical ability but like I've mentioned previously I will help them implement these skills in the game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
aerobic warm up, cone work with the ball, situational drills depending on the position of the player, watch film if possible
Career summary and accomplishments:
I worked summer ID camps at Santa Clara University for 3 years. I was able to work individually with players writing them reviews daily on what they have been doing well and what they need to improve on. I've also worked locally in Sacramento with a team called Azteca FC. I was the head coach for the u10 and u14 team
Best coach I ever had:
Bryan Wiley, currently coaching sac republics u14 team. He had a special ability to relate to all his players. He instilled the technical aspect of the game but also gave us the confidence to play the way we did. in sports confidence is key and he knew how to bring that out of his players
What athletes and parents should know about me:
my goal is to help your kids not only improve their technical ability but have the confidence and ability to apply these skills in the game.

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.
