About Me:
I am a Rowdies Lead Youth Soccer Coach looking to expand my coaching skillset and expertise with private lessons. While I am young (24), my experience and knowledge of soccer is vast and continue to grow daily. I approach everything with a competitive mentality to better myself and those around me, as well as to grow personally and professionally.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help you improve your game by helping you build the same passion and love of soccer as I have. This will unlock skills and creativity in yourself as well as build competitiveness, confidence, and courage to strive to improve and be the best you can be.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training with me will first and foremost be fun, with drills that build fundamental and technical skills and mini games that will provide the opportunity to utilize the knowledge gained in simulated game-like environments and situations.
Career summary and accomplishments:
So far, in my young career, my biggest accomplishment is my current position at the Tampa Bay Rowdies. I started coaching soccer when I was fifteen at my local YMCA and was a part of a strong community-based developmental soccer program as both a young coach and eventual site supervisor. When the program folded, I was away in college and came back to find a Youth Coach position with the Rowdies, and after a year working in that capacity and demonstrating my value, I was promoted to Lead Youth Soccer Coach. A great step as I seek to continue building my coaching career, gaining certifications, and seeing where it takes me.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my brother and sister. They were key in making me feel comfortable and confident as I developing young soccer player. Another great coach was Zecca De Pino, a Brazilian former soccer player who brought so much joy and positive energy to the soccer field that it was infectious and established a loving and nurturing culture in the soccer program. I combine these in my coaching style to create soccer players who are able to express themselves in their play while having fun and building on their love of soccer.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am easily communicable if a lesson needs to be rescheduled or canceled, and I currently have a very flexible schedule. The only concrete days that I cannot do are Wednesdays (Rowdies programming), Fridays (My College Newspaper), and weekends. All other days and times are flexible but are subject to change.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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!
