Get to know Coach Melani
About Me:
I have been playing soccer since a young age. I played throughout middle and high school, being named team captain at the varsity level. I was chosen to play at the collegiate level as a walk on, but decided to focus on my studies instead. I have since graduated college and have shifted my focus into coaching soccer.
How I can help you improve your game:
Improving your game comes from the amount of confidence you can build. You can build confidence through having a consistent routine that highlights the different skills in soccer. I will analyze where you are now and work with you to develop a personalized training system that fits your skills like a glove. I will get you into a training schedule that will help strengthen you mentally and physically. Ultimately this will build your confidence and your game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I strive to fit as many drills into a training session as possible, without straining the athlete. I start with stretching and transition into warm ups that do not involve a soccer ball. I then add the soccer ball afterwards and work on getting reps in with passing and other touches on the ball. Depending on the day, I will focus on either offense or defense and there will be multiple drills for that particular area of practice. After those drills, I like to get a little more conditioning in and then we would stretch and cool down.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached children between the ages of 2 and 18, so there is a wide range of behavioral experience that I carry. I have coached for the company Soccer Shots and I have recently been named head coach for the ladies varsity team at Whale Branch High School in South Carolina. I am hoping to continue my coaching career for years to come.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my high school coach, Coach Wester. She taught me that soccer was more than just a game, it was a positive outlet for all those who play it. She taught me core values through the game without letting me lose sight of my passion for the game.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
There are two main things that athletes and their parents will come to understand about me. Safety and positivity on the field are the most important factors to me as a trainer. An athlete’s well-being physically, mentally, and emotionally all play a factor in how they play. I will make sure that my training and my attitude reflect the importance of a safe and fun environment for the athlete. Soccer is more than just a game. Soccer is about growth and confidence in every aspect.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
