About Me:
I’ve played soccer for over 18 years and have experience competing at high school, collegiate (community college), as well as continuing to play in adult leagues throughout my local area. In tandem with playing, I have been coaching for about 10 years now, focusing on youth ranging from age 2 all the way to 8th grade! I’m passionate about helping players improve their technical skills, game awareness, and confidence on the field. My coaching style is a mix of encouragement and competitiveness — I push players to challenge themselves while keeping training positive and fun. My goal is to help every athlete I train grow in skill, confidence, and character — both on and off the field!
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus on helping players improve their technical skills, decision-making, and overall confidence on the field. Whether you’re working on first touch, passing accuracy, positioning, or conditioning, I’ll create personalized sessions that target your individual goals. My goal is to help you build strong habits, understand the game at a higher level, and translate that into better performance in real matches.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
My sessions are fast-paced, focused, and fun. We’ll start with a dynamic warm-up, then move into skill-specific drills that challenge your ball control, footwork, and speed of play. I tailor each session to your position and skill level, mixing in competitive mini-games or pressure drills to simulate real match situations. Every session ends with a conversation between the player and coach, providing feedback and a few takeaways for you to work on before the next one.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Throughout my soccer career, I’ve had the opportunity to play on a variety of teams — from youth leagues (U4–U14) and high school (JV & Varsity) to my local community college team, with continued participation in adult leagues in the area. From my U14 days through my senior year of high school, I was recognized by teammates and coaches as a leader, often serving as team captain. That experience taught me what it truly takes to lead — staying composed, motivating others, and setting the tone even in tough moments. Those lessons have shaped me into the coach I am today. Staying active in local leagues and soccer events keeps my skills sharp and my coaching perspective fresh — because for me, coaching is more than a job; it’s a lifelong commitment to the game!
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had, was one who pushed me to compete hard, stay disciplined, and love the game for what it teaches beyond the field. He pushed me to be better, even if I didn't believe I could or wanted to do so. This coach worked tirelessly and thanklessly to come up with practice plans and training regimens to improve not only myself, but the other players around me! My dad has been and always will be my inspiration, motivation, and idol for how I want to coach others.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I take every player’s growth seriously — not just their skills, but their confidence and mindset too. I believe in positive, high-effort coaching that challenges athletes to reach their potential while keeping the game fun. I’m patient, encouraging, and competitive, and I expect effort and focus in return. My goal is to help each player walk away better than they were yesterday!

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!
