Get to know Julio
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
Youth soccer coach with a player's perspective and expertise in position-specific development, creating drills that improve technical skills, game understanding, confidence and performance.
How I can help you improve
My approach is to develop the player as a whole. With my experience at the youth level and in talent development, I identify each player’s strengths, areas for improvement, and positional needs. I use game understanding, position-specific training, video analysis, and realistic game situations to help players make better decisions on the field. Most importantly, I want players to build confidence, understand the game, and become independent problem-solvers.
A typical training session
A typical training session with me is structured around the player’s individual needs and position. I usually start with a dynamic warm-up and technical activation, then progress into position-specific drills that focus on the skills and decisions required in that role. From there, I incorporate game-realistic situations to help the player apply those skills under pressure. With my background at youth level and talent development, I also focus on decision-making, tactical understanding, confidence, and identifying areas where the player can continue to grow. My goal is for every session to have a clear purpose and for the player to leave knowing exactly what they improved and what they need to work on next
Career & accomplishments
Throughout my career as a soccer coach, I have gained extensive experience across various coaching environments. My ultimate goal is to develop a holistic understanding of the game by learning from the best practices of different football realities.
To that end, I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Football Coaching and Management at the European University in Madrid, Spain. Additionally, I am working toward my UEFA coaching certification in the United Kingdom and am a member of the 360 Scouting Academy in the Netherlands, which has provided me with valuable insights into the modern game.
Best coach I ever had
I would definitely say Luis La Torre (Peru). He was my soccer coach and mentor for three years, and he made a huge impact on my understanding of the game while instilling great values in my personal life.
What athletes & parents should know
Athletes and parents should know that I’m not only a soccer coach, but also a dad who understands how important the right environment is for a young athlete. My focus goes beyond improving technical skills—I want to help players develop confidence, discipline, decision-making, and character. With my experience in youth development, I create personalized sessions based on each player’s age, position, strengths, and areas for improvement. My goal is to help every athlete become a better soccer player while also becoming a more confident and responsible person on and off the field.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
