I'm a big fan of watching soccer (premier league specifically) and I highly encourage my coaching clients to do the same, as I believe it's one of the easiest and best ways to improve your game! If you want to get some high quality and fun training sessions in, shoot me a message and we can get things rolling!

Get to know Coach Matt
About Me:
I discovered soccer around 10 and I've been obsessed with it ever since!
I played at highly competitive levels all throughout high school, before graduating and going on to Augustana College to play at the D3 level for four years. During and after college I played with a couple different semi-pro teams and nowadays I mainly stick to indoor!
How I can help you improve your game:
As someone who semi-recently graduated college and understands the complications of coaching, playing, and being recruited, I've been through the whole process and understand what it takes to train and play at the highest level.
While I believe that it all starts with the fun, and an actual love for the sport that you're playing. I also think there should be a strong emphasis on technical training such as ball control, dribbling, shooting, passing etc.
My goal is to make you better as an individual player in every aspect of your game, so please let me know what you want to improve on and we'll make it happen!
What a typical training session looks like with me:
My primary goal for each session is to have as much fun as possible, while also developing young athletes who are serious about improving their game.
I think technical ability is often overlooked when it comes to American soccer, and I believe this is one of the main attributes that sets young players apart. With that in mind, most training sessions will most likely include a significant amount of dribbling/ball control work.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I’ve coached everything from U8 teams to underprivileged after-school programs, and most recently, high school soccer at Discovery Canyon Campus, giving me experience with a wide range of skill levels and ages. If you’re ready to put in the work, I’m confident I can help elevate your game, no matter your age or experience!
Best coach I ever had:
I've had a ton of great coaches from club, to high school, to college, but my high school club coach was probably the one that made the greatest impact on me. At the beginning of one of our seasons, he gave us some homework to watch and pick a professional player who we thought we played like. Now while I appreciate good tactics and drills, I believe that it all starts with a love for the game, which is why it's so important to find players that you like and learn from how they play their game!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I'm a MASSIVE Manchester United fan and happy to talk soccer all day long!
Throughout my career, I've played in almost every position but mainly central and attacking midfield.
There's nothing I love more than training and kicking the ball around, so I hope you're ready to have a good time and work hard!

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!
