Get to know Coach David

About Me:

Passionate and experienced soccer coach with a lifelong dedication to the game, having played at the college level and internationally in Rome, Italy. I began playing at age six and have since developed a deep understanding of the sport both on and off the field. From 2015 to 2018, I coached with Philadelphia Union Soccer School, gaining valuable experience in a professional academy environment. I’ve also coached youth teams abroad, bringing a global perspective to player development. Academically, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Management and a Master’s degree in Sport Management earned in Rome, Italy. I’m committed to fostering talent, discipline, and a love for the game in every player I work with.

How I can help you improve your game:

I focus on your individual strengths, weaknesses, and goals to deliver a personalized and professional training experience. With years of experience playing and coaching at high levels—including college soccer, the Philadelphia Union Academy, and international youth programs—I bring a results-driven approach to every session.

Through one-on-one or small group training, I help players:

Improve technical skills: first touch, passing, dribbling, and finishing

Develop tactical understanding and smarter decision-making

Enhance physical conditioning: speed, agility, and endurance

Build mental toughness: confidence, focus, and game awareness

Prepare for team tryouts, academy programs, or college recruitment

Each session is customized to meet your needs and goals, helping you become a more complete, confident, and competitive player.

Let’s take your game to the next level

What a typical training session looks like with me:

Each training session is structured to be focused, challenging, and tailored to your individual needs. Here's what you can expect:

1. Warm-Up & Activation

Dynamic stretching, mobility work, and ball-related warm-up exercises to prepare the body and mind for high-performance training.

2. Technical Skills Work

Focused drills to improve your touch, passing, dribbling, shooting, and ball control—designed to replicate real game situations.

3. Tactical Awareness

Positional play, decision-making exercises, and situational drills to build your understanding of the game and improve your soccer IQ.

4. Physical Development

Speed, agility, and endurance work tailored to your position and playing level, helping you become faster and more explosive on the field.

5. Mental & Game Preparation

Confidence-building exercises, mindset coaching, and match scenario discussions to help you stay sharp under pressure.

Best coach I ever had:

What athletes and parents should know about me:

I bring a strong mix of playing and coaching experience, both in the U.S. and internationally, and I’m deeply committed to helping young athletes grow—not just as players, but as people. My approach is focused, positive, and built on discipline, respect, and hard work.

I understand that every player is different. That’s why I tailor my training sessions to meet each athlete’s individual needs, helping them develop technically, tactically, physically, and mentally. I aim to build confidence, improve game IQ, and prepare players for success at the next level—whether that’s making a team, earning a scholarship, or simply becoming the best version of themselves on the field.

As a coach, communication and trust with both athletes and parents is a top priority. I believe in creating a supportive, professional environment where goals are clear, progress is tracked, and every session has purpose.

I’m here to guide, motivate, and challenge each player to reach their full potential—on and off the pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
