Book Private Soccer Lessons with Coach Ethan
With over 18 years of soccer experience, I'm passionate about sharing my love for the game with others. Soccer has taught me invaluable life lessons, and teamwork, and has shaped me into the person I am today. My drive, dedication, and countless hours of practice outside of a structured team environment have brought me to the Division 1 level. One of my favorite sayings is, "If you improve by 1% every day, within a year you'll have improved by 365%." I incorporate this philosophy into both my coaching and my own training. Each session is an opportunity to get 1% better. It's in these sessions that true growth happens and you can separate yourself from other players. I look forward to connecting with you!

About Me:
As a midfielder at American University's Division 1 soccer program, I bring a wealth of competitive experience and accolades to my coaching approach. In 2021, I played a pivotal role in our team's journey to the Division 1 Men's Soccer Tournament, where we advanced to the second round, narrowly missing out to top-ranked Clemson. During my collegiate career, I've achieved significant milestones including winning a Patriot League championship and making three appearances in the league finals. With 58 games under my belt, of which I started 42, I've accumulated over 3,400 minutes of on-field experience. As a Division 1 player, I've scored 11 goals, provided 6 assists, and earned a total of 28 points. In addition to my collegiate achievements, I was honored as the American University Men's Soccer MVP in 2023, received All-Patriot League Second Team recognition, and led the team in scoring with six goals, including crucial game-winners against UMBC and Navy. My love for soccer extends beyond the field, demonstrated by my academic success and leadership as an honors student and varsity athlete at Denver East High School, and through my development in the elite youth soccer pathway through the Colorado Rapids Academy and Real Colorado.

What a typical training session looks like with me:
Training sessions will be customized to each player's individual needs and goals, taking into account their position, strengths, weaknesses, and other factors.
Career summary and accomplishments:
- 5 years of experience in individual training - 8 years coaching kids' summer soccer camps - Soccer runs in my family; my dad and uncle both played at the D1 level. - Uncle Bill Boyle is a D1 Head Coach at Niagara and has previously coached at Michigan State, Colgate, and UAlbany. - My dad, Robert Boyle, serves as an assistant coach for both the men's and women's programs at Denver East High School. He also operates his own camps, clinics, and school-based soccer programs.
Best coach I ever had:
I can't point to just one coach as the best; I've had many great coaches throughout my career, each bringing something unique to the table. I've taken bits and pieces from my favorite coaches over the years, shaping my own coaching style. The diversity and variety of my coaches have greatly influenced how I approach coaching. I've learned to evaluate what I liked and didn't like from each mentor and incorporate those lessons into my own technique and style.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
My number one rule as a coach is to ensure my players have fun. It's the foundation and the building block of my coaching philosophy. Fun is the reason I started playing the game and the reason I love coaching. I want my players to love it too.

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!
