About Me:
West Perry High School - All time leader in goals and assists
Lock Haven University - PSAC Freshman of the Year, 4x All Conference Selection
How I can help you improve your game:
I plan on implementing an in-game approach to the training programs to further develop in-game decision making. Additionally, I find it essential to perfect specific skill sets (1v1 and finishing for strikers) (game awareness and ball movement for midfielders). My philosophy will be programmed around the position of each player and will provide a honed approach to perfecting certain skills.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Training sessions will vary based on each player's goals. I want to provide the base template for the training programs and work with each athlete to further define the template as our sessions progress. From there, training sessions will include an active warm-up, skill based drills, and a fun activity to end each session. I have found that adding an element of fun is important to keep younger players engaged and to award players for each session. As is necessary, I will provide athletes with strength training, drills and muscle recovery that they can implement at home or in their free time.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have experience coaching youth soccer (ages 6-10) in the Harrisburg area as well as private coaching seminars while a student-athlete at Lock Haven University. I am comfortable coaching any age and any skill level and will develop training programs geared toward the individual athlete.
Best coach I ever had:
Each coach has provided me with fundamental lessons and skills that were not only applied to my playing career but to my every day life. Leadership is one of the most important values I learned from my coaches because it not only allowed me to develop a better relationship with my team but has allowed me takes steps in my personal life that I would not have been prepared for had I not developed these skills on the field.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
My wife also played soccer at Lock Haven and we are beyond passionate about incorporating soccer into our daily lives. Whether it be pick up or just going to the field for exercise, soccer has played a big party in our lives. Throughout my playing career I have grown to understand the importance of valuing each moment that I am able to play this beautiful 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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
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.
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!
