Get to know Coach Daniel
About Me:
Most of my career was played in my hometown of St. Louis, MO. Back to Back State Champions in the Show Me State (Missouri) Games. Played in the Olympic Development Program during my youth career. 2 State Cup Championship appearances. I played at a high level until I got to college when I lost out on a scholarship due to injury.
How I can help you improve your game:
I take a methodical approach to improvement. I have players and/or parents give me an idea of what they want to work on or where they want to get better and that will be our initial focus. From there we build on that skillset through a natural progression in our training sessions.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Typically we have an active warmup, then we have the core focus of the session, and end the session with a fun activity related to what we worked on in the session. I can incorporate video, offer "homework" for the players to work on in between sessions, and try to get as many touches on the ball as possible.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached at the rec level and competitive level. Most recently, I coached a 2016 Boys team to a State Cup Championship in the Silver Division. I coach a middle school team and also work with the Sacramento Republic as a coach for their youth program.
Best coach I ever had:
I had a coach who was A licensed and a former professional. He was really intense, but the only coach that I've had who explained why we did what we did instead of just doing "drills" in training. It was eye opening, it helped me to understand the game on a deeper level. I understood the game more tactically, while being developed technically.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have a technique first approach. Often times you see players train and try to do things fast before they have the skill mastered. It's always better to master the skill first, then you can add speed. While there are natural athletes, I believe anyone can achieve their goals not through hard work but with a mindful approach. By that I mean understanding where their weaknesses are and how to address those in the most effective way possible. Given that, my approach is very methodical with clear step-by-step program. This way it allows us to collect data, see where we are and focus on areas of improvement.

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 determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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!
