Professional overseas football player turned elite skills coach.
I’m a professional overseas football player who brings high‑level technique, discipline, and game IQ to every session I coach. My training style focuses on building confident, fundamentally sound athletes who understand why they’re doing each drill, not just how to do it. Whether you’re developing early skills or preparing for the next level, I bring the same energy and attention to detail that I use in my own pro career.

About Me:
I’m a professional overseas football player who brings high-level technique, discipline, and football IQ to every athlete I train. I’ve competed internationally, learned from elite coaches, and developed a deep understanding of what it takes to stand out on the field. My goal is to help athletes build confidence, master fundamentals, and develop the mindset needed to perform at their best.
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus on developing complete athletes — strong fundamentals, sharp footwork, and a high football IQ. I break down technique in a way that’s easy to understand and immediately applicable in games. Whether you’re new to the sport or preparing for the next level, I tailor each session to your position, strengths, and goals so you see real, measurable improvement.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Sessions are high-energy, structured, and built around purposeful reps. We start with dynamic warmups and movement prep, then move into position-specific drills focused on footwork, technique, and game situations. I give constant feedback, correct details in real time, and make sure every drill has a clear purpose. Athletes should leave each session feeling challenged, confident, and better than when they arrived.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I’m a professional overseas football player with experience competing at a high level and training alongside elite athletes. My career includes international competition in Australia and Spain, advanced skill development, and years of coaching athletes across multiple age groups. I bring the same discipline and attention to detail from my playing career into every session I coach.
Voted one of the best D3 Transfer Linebackers and won multiple awards in my conference.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was my first high school coach, who pushed me to be disciplined, accountable, and intentional with every rep. He taught me that success comes from mastering the small details and showing up consistently, even on the days you don’t feel like it. That mindset shaped my career and heavily influences how I coach today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m patient, positive, and fully invested in every athlete I work with. I care about long-term development, not shortcuts. I communicate clearly, explain the “why” behind every drill, and create an environment where athletes feel supported but challenged. My goal is to help players grow not just as athletes, but as confident, disciplined individuals.

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.

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!
