Get to know Diego
Division I athlete helping players reach their full potential.
Hi, I'm Diego, a current NCAA Division I soccer player at George Washington University and a Dominican Republic National Team player. My goal is to help athletes improve their technical skills, confidence, and understanding of the game through fun, challenging, and game-focused training. Whether you're just starting out or looking to compete at a higher level, I'll create sessions tailored to your goals and help you develop the habits needed to succeed on and off the field.
How I can help you improve
I help players develop stronger technical skills, better decision-making, and greater confidence in game situations. Every athlete is different, so I tailor each session to their goals and focus on the areas that will have the biggest impact on their performance. Whether you're looking to improve your first touch, passing, finishing, movement, or overall soccer IQ, I'll help you build habits that translate into matches.
A typical training session
Every session begins with a dynamic warm-up and technical ball work before progressing into drills that challenge players in game-like situations. We focus on technique, speed of play, decision-making, and confidence under pressure. I keep sessions competitive, engaging, and positive while making sure every athlete leaves having learned something new and improved.

Best coach I ever had
The best coaches I've had challenged me to improve every day while believing in me as both a player and a person. They emphasized hard work, accountability, and attention to detail, but they also created an environment where mistakes were opportunities to learn. That balance is something I try to bring into every training session.
What athletes & parents should know
I'm passionate about helping athletes improve and creating a positive training environment where players feel motivated to work hard and enjoy the process. As a current Division I athlete, I understand the dedication required to compete at a high level, and I strive to pass those lessons on to every player I work with. My goal is not only to help athletes become better soccer players but also to build confidence, discipline, and a strong work ethic that will benefit them beyond the game.

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!
