From u-12 to u-18 I played for a club that competed at the highest level both regionally and nationally. I also participated in ODP where I traveled internationally for the regional team and was in the pool for the U.S. National Team. I went on to play division one soccer at the University of Pennsylvania where I was a captain my senior year.
With an understanding of where the athlete is and what they're looking to accomplish, we can do drills that first instill good foundational habits and then with repetition get them comfortable with whatever they need to improve. I've found that patience, consistent feedback, and a little bit of fun go a long way.
It mostly depends on the athlete needs- for example, position would have an impact on the drills/session plan. Also what the athlete are looking to work on most: technique, long balls, shooting, speed/agility, back-to-goal defending, footwork, turning in small spaces, etc. Ideally I would for like to sit down with the athlete and discuss the above - but for someone like me who was a defender and always had problem with agility, I would begin the session with a speed ladder and then gradually incorporate more ball work while still working on quick movements both forward/ backwards and laterally (i.e. weaving laterally though cones with a volley variation at each end). I prefer to end each session with a technical repetition (i.e. passing with a ball and a wall), one of the best ways to keep technically crisp and comfortable with ball at your feet.
I have experience training athlete of all ages and levels. I have worked as a coach in many camps for the University of Pennsylvania, training athletes as young as five years old to athletes in their senior year of high school looking to get recruited to play in college. More recently, I train athletes in a one-on-one setting - allowing me to cater specifically to individual athletes.
My club coaches taught me everything I know about soccer today. They were incredibly knowledgeable and high expectations, allowing me to become the athlete I had always hoped to become!
More than anything I love the game of soccer and what it has brought to my life, and it's so rewarding getting the chance to bring that to other people. I'm flexible in terms of coaching and am always willing to work with the athlete/parents to ensure they're getting out of our sessions what they're looking for.

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.
