About Me:
I've been fortunate enough to have a lifelong passion for soccer, starting at just 4 years old. I played for travel clubs from U-6 to U-18, primarily with Athens United, and experienced the thrill of winning state championships and tournaments. I was selected to try out for Georgia's ODP program, played Varsity soccer all four years in high school, and played in different Leagues, Sunday co ed teams and various pick up games.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help someone improve their game by refining their skills, offering constructive feedback, and correcting form and technique issues. I strengthen weaknesses, build new abilities, and enhance overall performance. By sharing my expertise and simplifying complex skills, I empower players of all levels to gain a deeper understanding and reach their full potential.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me is approximately an hour long and begins with a dynamic warm-up, including a jog and stretch, followed by a progression of drills. I take a structured approach, explaining the purpose and benefits of each drill, breaking it down into manageable steps, and demonstrating the technique. Conditioning exercises are incorporated throughout the session to improve overall fitness. I strive to make each session engaging and fun, building upon previous skills or introducing new ones. Finally, we wrap up with a enjoyable activity, such as juggling or a game, to leave players feeling motivated and excited for the next session.
Career summary and accomplishments:
With three years of private coaching experience, I've had the privilege of training clients one-on-one, leading weekly sessions ranging from 1-2 hours. Currently, I'm working with a client in West Palm Beach every Sunday, and previously, I trained two clients in Houston, Texas. In addition to private coaching, I've also led group sessions at various summer soccer camps working with diverse age groups and skill levels. Most of these were week-long programs, held from 8am-4pm. The camps allowed me to develop my ability to coach and connect with players in both one-on-one and group settings. I am also currently in the midst of acquiring my D License via US Soccer.
Best coach I ever had:
My favorite coach, also named Patrick (ironically, I'm now known as Coach Pat!), had a profound impact on my soccer journey. Coach Pat was an exceptional leader who taught me far more than just the game. He instilled valuable life skills like empathy, teamwork, and self-improvement. His hands-on approach, leading by example, and willingness to demonstrate techniques made a lasting impression. With a perfect balance of kindness and sternness, he brought out the best in us, both on and off the field. His mentorship shaped me into the player and coach I am today, and I strive to emulate his qualities in my own coaching style.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I'm a dedicated and caring coach who is passionate about helping others achieve their best. I'm committed to making the most of our time together, working to ensure every session is valuable and productive. With a strong work ethic and high standards, I strive for excellence in my coaching. But I also believe in making soccer enjoyable and engaging, creating a fun and unique experience for my players. Additionally, I'm a lifelong learner, constantly seeking new ideas, drills, and insights from the global soccer community, including renowned players and coaches. My goal is to provide a supportive, dynamic, and growth-oriented environment that fosters success and enjoyment for all.

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!
