Here to teach you/your athlete how to be the best tactically, technically, physically and mentally on and off the field.
I have played the Beautiful Game since I was 8, at the club/high school, college, and semi pro (UPSL) levels. I have coached footballers from the age of 4-22, and I feel very fulfilled in passing on what I know to help others. I do this because I want to see men and women of this generation become disciplined, passionate and joyful soccer players, but also people who will bring these qualities to whatever classroom, workplace, or home they end up in. I will accomplish this by first embodying these qualities as an example to my clients, and by pushing them to give a full, consistent effort in each session where I will coach them on how to best play this sport. I aim to make each session as fun and practical as I can and to cater to each athlete's specific strengths/weaknesses.

Get to know Coach Joshua
About Me:
I love sports in general, especially the Beautiful Game (soccer). As an athlete myself, I am very competitive and take whatever I do seriously. As a coach, I love teaching others, and seeing their progress fulfills me. I am a devout Christian so I see my work as something God has gifted me to do for His glory, regardless of who's watching or what I can gain. This also means I love studying the Bible and reading about theology whenever I have time.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help every athlete improve their playing habits, technique/skill, speed, agility, and overall fitness. I will do so by applying my formal education in Exercise Science and my years of experience playing soccer at high levels. I also can assist players looking to play in college as I reached out to college coaches myself in high school to get offers and I would love to offer my advice on getting recruited.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Each training session will largely depend on the requests, skill level, strengths/weaknesses, experience, health, and position of each athlete. For a general outline, every session will- begin with a proper warmup, proceed to plyometrics/sprints/agility work if prescribed, then soccer skills training, conditioning if prescribed, and then a proper cooldown. I will directly supervise every aspect, demonstrate each drill or skill to be done, participate in many of the drills with the athlete, and offer correction as needed. A typical $50 session will last 1 hour.

Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Christian/"Recodo" Valdez from my time at Olympians FC. He played professional soccer for Atlas in Liga MX (the top Mexican division) for 14 years and it showed. Every practice run by him would be intense and competitive but also very fun and enjoyable. I swear we never ran a drill where we were allowed more than 2 touches on the ball- quick passing and teamwork were always required. He would also often be in the drills himself, which he made look effortless as he directed us and led by example. I'll never forget that each time I'd ask him what I should do to improve as a player, he would always say "have fun". With all his experience and skill, he constantly reminded me that if you want to be professional at what you do, you have to enjoy it. I will always appreciate him for that as I have often been a player who puts too much pressure on myself, and the truth is we play best (in soccer and life) when we stop and smell the roses.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I see what I do as much more than simply teaching people how to better kick a round ball into a rectangle goal, but as character development where athletes will learn invaluable life lessons. I desire for any athlete I get to invest in to be the best man/woman God designed them to be. To do that, I will work hard and learn myself what the best training plan is, so I expect any athlete I train to give a full effort and to be teachable so our time together is worthwhile.

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!
