I began playing soccer when I was 5 years old and moved to the club level at 8. I then played at the ECNL level for 4 years at San Juan SC before going on to play college soccer at California State University of Chico. This summer I had the opportunity to play for a Semi-Professional team called Iron Rose WPSL out of California.
My goal is to help athlete's continue to fall in love with the game and help them reach their highest potential.
I typically will start with a warm-up, leading into dribbling drills to get lots of touches on the ball. Then we will breakout into specific drills based on what the athlete wants to work on (ex. shooting, moves, defensive drills). Finishing up with some conditioning.
I have been a private trainer for almost 3 years now. I have been training the same kids and I love to work with them. Seeing them progress in the sport is amazing to see and it's why I love my job!
The best coach I ever had was Coach Bernardo. He was one of my San Juan ECNL coaches and he helped build my confidence. That allowed me to play to my full potential. He knew how to work both the mental and physical side of the game. He is now the Head Coach for Cal State Bakersfield Women's Soccer team.
I am very passionate about this sport and I want every athlete to be able to enjoy themselves while getting better. You should be able to have fun while working hard! I will work on specific things that the athlete wants to improve on while also adding in my own drills.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
