Book Lessons with Coach Dalton
Helping athletes excel through soccer coaching and strength training.
At Untapped Athletics, I help athletes unlock their full potential on and off the field. With nearly 20 years in the game — from playing soccer since age three, including four years at the collegiate level (NAIA and NCAA DII), to coaching high school and college athletes — I combine soccer-specific skill development with proven strength and conditioning methods. My goal is to help athletes move better, play smarter, and perform stronger — reaching levels they never thought possible.

About Me:
I’m a husband and soon-to-be father of two with nearly 20 years in soccer — from playing since age 3, including four years at the collegiate level (NAIA & NCAA DII), to coaching high school, youth, and college athletes, and officiating youth leagues for over a decade. I also specialize in strength and conditioning, helping athletes move better, perform stronger, and reach their full potential both on and off the field.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help you improve your game by combining soccer-specific skill development with strength, speed, and conditioning training. Together, we’ll identify your strengths and areas for growth, build athleticism that transfers to the field, and create a plan to help you play smarter, move faster, and perform stronger — so you can reach your full potential.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me depends on whether we’re focusing on soccer or strength & conditioning.
Soccer training starts with a dynamic warm-up, followed by technical drills like passing, shooting, dribbling, and position-specific work, all designed to improve skill, speed, and decision-making.
Strength & conditioning begins with mobility and movement prep, then moves into speed, agility, strength, and power exercises, finishing with core and conditioning work to boost overall athleticism.
Every session is personalized to help you reach your full potential on the field.
Career summary and accomplishments:
2x GMAC Tournament Champion, 1x GMAC Regular Season Champion. Top 5 in region in Assists (SR year). All-District Teams High School (2016-2017)

I’m passionate about helping athletes reach their full potential, both on and off the field. I bring nearly 20 years of experience as a player, coach, and official — from youth leagues to collegiate soccer — and I specialize in strength and conditioning to enhance performance. I’m a husband and soon-to-be father of two, so I understand the importance of patience, guidance, and balance. My approach is personalized, goal-focused, and designed to develop not just athletic skill, but confidence and a strong work ethic.

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.
Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.
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!
