Helping players develop technique, confidence, and game intelligence.
Helping players develop technique, confidence, and game intelligence.
I’m a passionate and dedicated soccer coach with one clear goal to help every player reach their full potential while discovering the joy of the game. With experience training athletes of all ages, from energetic 5-year-olds to Division 2–level players, I bring a positive, professional, and motivating energy to every session. Having lived and coached in five different countries England, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, and the United States I’ve gained a deep understanding of how soccer is taught and played around the world. My coaching style blends the tactical precision of European football with the creativity and passion of South American play, creating sessions that are both challenging and fun. With three professional coaching certifications and semi-professional playing experience, I offer a complete development approach focused on technique, confidence, and game intelligence. Each session is personalized to fit the player’s needs, helping them grow stronger, smarter, and more confident every time they step on the field. What truly drives me is seeing players evolve not just as athletes, but as confident individuals who love what they do. Whether it’s building a perfect first touch, sharpening decision-making, or developing mental toughness, I’m here to help players play better, think faster, and love the best sport in the world.

⚽ Training Structure & What I Offer
Every player is different, and that’s exactly how I approach training. Each session is custom-designed to fit the player’s age, level, and specific goals, ensuring that every moment on the field has purpose, intensity, and enjoyment. My goal is to help players grow in all areas: technical, tactical, physical, and mental while keeping a strong sense of motivation and fun.

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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
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.
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!
