How I can help you improve your game:
To help someone improve their game, I first evaluate their current skills and areas for improvement. Then, I design a personalized training plan that focuses on developing both technical skills and tactical understanding of the game. I incorporate specific exercises to improve physical conditioning, strength, and endurance, ensuring the player is in their best physical shape. Additionally, I provide constant feedback and motivation to keep the player focused and committed. I also use video analysis to review performance in matches and training sessions, identifying opportunities for improvement and adjusting the training plan as needed. My comprehensive approach not only enhances the player's individual skills but also their confidence and mindset on the field.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session is structured to maximize both physical and tactical development. It generally starts with a warm-up to prepare the body and reduce the risk of injury. This includes light jogging, dynamic stretches, and agility drills.
Following the warm-up, the session transitions into skill development exercises. These drills are tailored to the specific needs of the player and can include ball control, passing, shooting, and dribbling exercises. The focus here is on improving technical skills and muscle memory.
Next, the session moves into tactical training. This might involve small-sided games, positional drills, and situational play to enhance the player’s understanding of game strategy and teamwork. During this phase, players learn to apply their skills in a game-like context.
Conditioning exercises are also a key component, aimed at improving endurance, strength, and speed. This can include interval training, sprints, and strength training exercises.
The session typically concludes with a cool-down period, which involves static stretching and light activities to help the muscles recover and reduce soreness.
Throughout the session, continuous feedback and coaching are provided to ensure the player is making progress and staying motivated. Video analysis might also be used to review performance and make adjustments for future sessions.
This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of the player’s game are being developed.

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!
