Get to know Coach Shivam

About Me:

Key accomplishments include:

• Multi-Cultural Coaching Experience: Successfully coached youth soccer teams in the USA and India, fostering skill development and sportsmanship in young athletes from diverse backgrounds.

• Athletic Leadership and Teamwork: Led various teams as a player, focusing on both individual and group goals to drive performance and teamwork.

• Skill Development Programs: Designed training sessions tailored to different age groups and skill levels, enhancing players’ technical skills, strategic understanding, and physical conditioning.

• Mentorship and Sportsmanship: Dedicated to teaching young athletes not only the technical aspects of sports but also the values of respect, perseverance, and fair play.

How I can help you improve your game:

I can help someone improve their game by focusing on both the technical and mental aspects of their development. My approach starts with understanding each player’s unique strengths and areas for growth. From there, I design targeted drills that enhance essential skills like ball control, agility, passing accuracy, and tactical awareness, ensuring that players not only master the fundamentals but also become adaptable in game situations.

In addition to physical skills, I emphasize building mental resilience and game intelligence. This includes setting specific goals, analyzing game footage to learn from both successes and mistakes, and encouraging a growth mindset where challenges are viewed as opportunities. I also incorporate fun, game-like scenarios to keep practice engaging and foster a love for the sport.

Most importantly, I provide consistent, constructive feedback, helping players recognize their progress and maintain confidence. By creating a supportive environment and focusing on gradual, personalized improvement, I empower athletes to reach their full potential both on and off the field.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

My approach as a soccer coach is centered around creating a positive, engaging environment where kids of all ages can build skills, confidence, and a love for the game. I use a mix of structured drills, team-building exercises, and fun, game-like scenarios to keep lessons interactive and enjoyable. My teaching techniques focus on skill development, sportsmanship, and individual growth, ensuring each child feels supported and challenged at their own pace.

A typical lesson begins with a warm-up to get the kids moving, followed by skill-focused drills (e.g., passing, dribbling, shooting) tailored to the group’s age and skill level. I then incorporate mini-games or scrimmages, allowing kids to apply what they’ve learned in a real-game setting. We finish with a cool-down and a quick review, reinforcing key takeaways and encouraging kids to share what they enjoyed or learned that day.

Career summary and accomplishments:

With coaching experience in both the USA and India, I bring a unique, culturally diverse approach to coaching soccer for kids of all ages. My passion for the game, combined with a strong focus on skill-building, teamwork, and sportsmanship, creates a positive and fun learning environment for young players. I believe in nurturing each child’s potential while instilling a love for the game that transcends the field. I’m excited to bring my international perspective and dedication to developing young athletes in Austin!

Best coach I ever had:

The best coach I ever had was my high school coach in India, who was a former national player for the Indian team. His experience and skill were undeniable, but what truly set him apart was his dedication to developing us as both athletes and individuals. He brought a level of discipline, focus, and passion to each practice that was infectious, pushing us to give our best while teaching us the value of hard work and resilience.

He emphasized that talent alone wasn’t enough—it was the relentless commitment to improving, both physically and mentally, that would make the difference. His background on the national team added depth to his insights, helping us understand the importance of strategy, adaptability, and staying calm under pressure. He taught us to play with integrity, respect for the game, and for each other, instilling a sense of teamwork and sportsmanship that I carry with me to this day.

His influence shaped my approach to coaching and my belief in nurturing not just athletes, but well-rounded individuals who can succeed both on and off the field.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

Athletes and parents should know that I am deeply committed to creating a positive and supportive environment where young athletes can thrive both physically and mentally. My coaching philosophy is rooted in discipline, teamwork, and continuous improvement, but I also place a strong emphasis on fun and personal growth. I believe that every athlete has unique strengths, and my goal is to help each one discover their potential and build confidence through the sport.

With experience coaching in both the USA and India, I bring a multicultural perspective and an adaptable approach to meet the needs of diverse players. I value open communication with parents to ensure we’re working together to support each athlete’s journey, not only in skill development but in life skills like perseverance, respect, and responsibility. Above all, I am dedicated to fostering a safe and inspiring space for young athletes to grow, learn, and enjoy the game.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 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.

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.

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!
