Bilingual (English & Spanish) Mental Performance Coach & Former Athlete.
Do you perform better in practices than in games? Do you find it difficult to play consistently at the same level? Do you struggle with confidence when you play? Do you get nervous before and during games, and that affects how you play? Do you feel like your emotions get out of control and affect how you play? If the answer is YES to any of these questions, I can help you. My name is Daniel Burdaspar, and I am a former soccer player and a mental performance coach who has helped improve the performance of D1 athletes and athletes competing for national and international titles. What are my areas of expertise? - Soccer, Esports, Muay Thai, and Boxing. However, I helped athletes from other sports maximize their performance, so feel free to reach out even if you play a different sport! - Topics: consistency, confidence, performance anxiety, emotional regulation, and goal setting. What to expect? - ONLINE SESSIONS ONLY - I keep my sessions conversational and casual, but I make sure you get something out of each session. - Expect to work in-session and outside of session. Sometimes you will have small tasks to complete outside of the session (e.g., exercises to be implemented in practice or competitions). If you like what you are reading already, feel free to reach out! I am excited to help you achieve your goals.

Get to know Coach Daniel
About Me:
I am a former soccer player, a mental performance coach, and a clinical mental health counselor. I am originally from Pamplona, Spain (city of the famous "running of the bulls"), and I moved to the US in 2018 to play soccer in college and get my bachelor's in psychology. After finishing my soccer career and college, I obtained a double master's in Sport and Exercise Psychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ball State University.
How I can help you improve your game:
Do you perform better in practices than in games?
Do you find it difficult to play consistently at the same level?
Do you struggle with confidence when you play?
Do you get nervous before and during games, and that affects how you play?
Do you feel like your emotions get out of control and affect how you play?
If the answer is YES to any of these questions, I can help you!
What a typical training session looks like with me:
ONLINE SESSIONS ONLY. I keep my sessions conversational and casual, but I make sure you get something out of each session.
Expect to work in-session and outside of session. Sometimes you will have small tasks to complete outside of the session (e.g., exercises to be implemented in practice or competitions).
The more effort you put in, the quicker the results will come.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Over the last three years, I have worked with: - Muay Thai fighter competing for international titles (English). - Boxer competing for national titles (Spanish). - Soccer athletes (youth and D1 athletes) in English and Spanish. - Gymnastics athletes (D1, English) - Esports (D1 school, English)
Best coach I ever had:
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am dedicated to meeting the goals of the athletes I work with. I focus on improving performance but also getting to know the person I am speaking to. I believe true change happens when you care about what you do and the person you work with, and that is a standard of all my interactions.

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!
