About Me:
I have began at the age of 5 years old. I played youth and competitive soccer until I was 18 and then joined a couple indoor soccer leagues during my time after highschool.
Some of my accomplishments:
-4 years of varsity soccer in high school in las vegas
-2 time gatorade player of the year in highschool in las vegas
-3 time state champion with two different competitive travel teams in las vegas
-2 time regional champion with las vegas sports academy
-played in a national final with las vegas sports academy my last year of competitive soccer.
How I can help you improve your game:
I’ve played all different types of positions in my career. everyone has their main position at some point. for example I was a forward for about 80% of my career. point of the matter is I can teach the skills and importance of each position on the field from attacking to defense just because I possess the experience. it’s always a rewarding challenge to transition into a new position, but also fun as well. I will apologize in advanced to those seeking goalie training that was not a position I played lol, but nonetheless I can and would be more than willing to help as best as I can.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I would want to make sure that were in a focused and fun environment. being able to have fun while training is extremely important, but we would also want to be mindful about the importance about getting better and improving our games. a saying I’ve lived on for years is practice makes permanent. we would diligently work to get better each session.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have a brief stint of coaching age groups from 4-5 years old. teaching coaches different types of drills so that they can utilize them within practices with their players. I’m motivated to teach any type of age group if given the opportunity. I believe I can offer help and advice as well training to anybody regardless of age.
Best coach I ever had:
I’ve had a lot of inspirational coaches in my playing career but the name of the coach that made an impact most was bart galia. a true father figure type coach that made me a better player and person on and off the field. having a proper coach is always so key and important to the development of the younger generation of players. I would love to follow in the those footsteps to help players succeed in their soccer journeys!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I would love to help your kids improve their games as best as I can to the best of my ability, I would love to inspire the younger generation of players, and share my past experiences to help better themselves 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.
