Helping Athletes Build Skills, Confidence & a Love for the Game
Hi! I'm Kendall, and I've been involved in sports for nearly my entire life. I have played soccer for over 20 years and basketball for 13 years, experiences that have taught me the value of hard work, teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. While attending law school, I coached with Soccer Shots, where I helped young athletes develop their soccer fundamentals in a fun, encouraging environment. I also spent four years coaching youth basketball camps, giving me experience working with athletes of different ages and skill levels. My goal is for every athlete to leave each session more confident than when they arrived.
How I can help you improve
Every athlete is different, so I tailor each session to your goals, age, and skill level. Whether you're learning the fundamentals, preparing for tryouts, building confidence, or refining advanced techniques, I'll provide individualized instruction and constructive feedback to help you improve. Along with technical skills, I focus on game awareness, decision-making, confidence, and developing habits that lead to long-term success.
A typical training session
Each session begins with a dynamic warm-up followed by skill-focused drills designed around your individual goals. As we progress, we'll incorporate game-like situations that help translate those skills into real competition. Throughout the session, I'll provide positive coaching, immediate feedback, and encouragement while keeping training challenging, engaging, and fun. Every session ends with a review of what we accomplished and specific areas to continue working on.
Career & accomplishments
I have over 20 years of soccer experience and 13 years of basketball experience. While attending law school, I coached with Soccer Shots, where I taught young athletes the fundamentals of soccer through individualized, age-appropriate instruction. I also coached youth basketball camps for four years during high school, working with athletes of various ages and skill levels. These experiences have strengthened my leadership, communication, and ability to connect with athletes while fostering a positive learning environment.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had coached me from the time I was 8 years old until I graduated high school. He started as my all-star coach, became my travel coach, and eventually coached me in high school, so he played a huge role in my development both as an athlete and as a person.
As a goalkeeper, he always believed in me and trusted me to be the commander of the field. He taught me that being a goalie is about much more than making saves, it's about communication, leadership, decision-making, and helping the entire team succeed. Rather than trying to make me fit a certain mold, he recognized my strengths and showed me how to use them to elevate not only my own game but also the performance of the teammates around me.
His belief in me gave me confidence, and that's something I've never forgotten. As a coach, I want every athlete to know they have someone in their corner who believes in them, helps them play to their strengths, and pushes them to become the best version of themselves. That is the kind of coach I strive to be every day.
What athletes & parents should know
As someone who has spent most of my life as an athlete, I know what it's like to have great coaches and difficult ones. I remember which coaches made practices something I couldn't wait for, and that's the experience I try to create. I want training to be challenging, productive, and something athletes genuinely enjoy rather than feel obligated to attend.

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!
