I understand the difficult balance between pushing yourself and having fun as an athlete, finding that balance is my specialty.

I've been playing soccer since U5, never missed a season. I played travel as well as indoor year-round as soon as I was old enough, and I played in college while I was attending. I continuously started the game on the field including while I was a college freshmen player. Though I've gone through plenty of other sports; martial arts, swimming, gymnastics, ultimate frisbee, softball, and dance, as well as a fair handful of nonathletic extracurriculars; but I was always felt most at home on the soccer pitch.
Depending on what kind of player I'd be working with would determine how I'd help improve their skills. Any player can have good stamina or good conditioning but each position on the field has special characteristics that need to be addressed. Depending on the player I'd cater more to their position while also attempting to keep them generally well-rounded so they can be put anywhere on the field if they wanted.
>>warm-up/stretching
>>agility/speed drills
>>technique drills
>>conditioning/strength drills
>>cool down/stretching.
If the player or guardian would like to have anything specific worked on or anything taken out of rotation so we can focus on the other aspects just ask :)
While I don't have any official coaching experience yet, I have organized several tournament teams, been in the sport my entire life, and often was asked to guide younger players during high school. People often came to me with questions or ideas and it definitely felt like I was the coach.
The best coach I ever had would probably have been my travel coach. He was one of those that would pull us to the side and give us constructive criticism instead of yelling at us while we were on the field. He took everyone's strengths and built off of them, he paid attention to all positions not just offense. My agility and technique really took off while training with him and I use his teachings in every game I play. I played for him about five years, it helped me grow as an athlete exponentially.
Firstly, I am incredibly passionate about soccer. I took this position and I'm interested in coaching because I want to pass the knowledge and skills that I've accumulated onto the new generation of players. Secondly, I know how difficult it is to train as an athlete and be serious about it without getting overwhelmed or losing motivation, it is a part of my program to find the balance between pushing to be better and being able to enjoy the sport and have fun.

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 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.
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.
