Modern coaching backed by real game experience, built for today’s young athletes.
My name is John Morales, a Miami-born soccer coach with 5+ years of coaching experience, 13+ years of high-level playing experience, and 4 years of one-on-one and group training. I grew up playing club locally before representing the USA internationally, competing in major tournaments, playing MLS NEXT Reserve and First Team with Miami Rush, college soccer at Atlantis University, and now semi-professionally in UPSL. I’ve coached at Soccer Five, Super Soccer Stars, and Albion SC, working with players from toddlers to 24-year-olds. My coaching style is versatile, problem-solving based, and mentality-driven—I do whatever works to help each player improve. Results matter: I’ve helped players reach Inter Miami Academy, college programs, and top academies. As a young, active player with US Soccer C, D, and Grassroots licenses, I bring energy, modern methods, and real-game insight to every session.

How I can help you improve your game:
I help players improve their game by combining position-specific training with the right mentality. Having played almost every position, I understand what it takes to succeed in each role. I tailor drills to develop the skills needed for the position a player is in—or the one they want to play—while building confidence and game understanding. My approach turns players struggling for minutes into confident, high-level performers backed by real ability.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Every training session is different because every player is different. Sessions are fully customized based on the player’s position, goals, and areas for improvement. The first session is always an evaluation—I take time to get to know the player, understand their position, and discuss what they want to improve. I then assess key aspects of their game such as technique, decision-making, movement, and mentality. From there, I create a specific lesson plan tailored to their needs and development goals. This plan is discussed with parents so everyone is aligned and working toward the same objective.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Receiving my diploma for my coach D and C license. Coaching a EA team. Playing internationally semi professionally and helping every student that I have come across.
Best coach I ever had:
Cameron Sauro. This is a coach that I aspire to be not only was he very knowledgeable in all aspects of the game, but he had a care for his players that I had never seen before. He’s a person that truly encourage me to become the coach I am today.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I don’t play around. I am very articulate with my sessions and demand the best from your kid because I am giving my best when I coach.

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!
