Get to know Claire
2013 NCAA Nat'l Champ & Pro: global elite soccer experience.
As a current professional player I know what it takes to get to the next level. I put 100% effort into everything I do. I can guarantee that I will put the same heart and dedication into your development just as I do in every facet of my life. Each player is different and that is why I will create a unique and individual based training plan for each child. Together we will decide what it is they need to work on to reach their "next level." Not only will they have me as a trainer they will also have access to me as a mentor. Whatever your goal is we will work closely together to see it through.
How I can help you improve
I will evaluate to best determine what he or she needs to work on and we will go from there. I will help each person find their inner confidence so that they can excel on and off the field. At twenty eight years old soccer continues to set my soul on fire and I want to share that same passion and love I have for the game throughout my time training you.
A typical training session
It will vary from person to person, but I can guarantee at the end of each training you will be wanting to know when your next session is. Also you can follow my journey on instagram @cwint16
Career & accomplishments
TOVO Academy Licensed coach, Campolindo Men's high school assistant coach, Copa Kids trainer. A lot of my experience comes from playing. I have trained with the best trainers & players from all over the world. Every time I train with someone I always learn something new. I then incorporate those specific techniques and drills into each and every one of my sessions.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I've had has been someone who not only cared about my performance on the field, but made me feel valued as a person off the field. Someone who was upfront, honest and believed in me whole heartedly.
What athletes & parents should know
I am the oldest of five siblings. I know how to work with and relate to children extremely well. I am someone who has had an unconventional soccer journey myself. I have succeeded at the very top, and have also been hit hard at the bottom. I will be able to relate to you or your child in most if not all soccer situations. I'll be able to help them navigate different problems they are facing. Since I am still a current pro player your child will get the benefit of having someone who understands both the coaching and the player sides of different issues. We will attack them head on together!

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
