Private soccer training focused on confidence, technique, and game IQ
I provide private and small-group soccer training for players who want to improve their technical ability, confidence, and understanding of the game. My sessions are structured, intentional, and tailored to each athlete’s age, level, and goals. I focus on quality repetition, game-realistic decision-making, and building habits that translate directly to match performance. Families appreciate my reliability, clear communication, and commitment to long-term player development. Whether an athlete is newer to the game or aiming to compete at a higher level, my goal is to create consistent progress and a positive training experience.
How I can help you improve
I help athletes improve by focusing on strong technical foundations, smarter decision-making, and confidence on the ball. Practicing how you play is what gives players confidence, and confidence is what results in strong, awe-inspiring performances each and every game. Training is tailored to each player’s age, level, and goals, whether that means refining basic skills, increasing speed of play, or becoming more composed in game situations. My goal is consistent, measurable progress that carries over into matches.
A typical training session
Sessions are structured and purposeful from start to finish. Each session begins with a dynamic warm-up and ball-mastery work to build comfort and sharpness on the ball. We then move into targeted technical training based on the athlete’s position, age, and goals, followed by game-realistic drills that require quick decisions under pressure. Sessions finish with competitive challenges or small-sided play, along with specific feedback and clear takeaways so athletes understand what they improved and what to focus on next.
Career & accomplishments
I bring a strong background as both a high-level competitive player and a private soccer trainer. I played club soccer at the ECNL level from ages 10 through 18 and competed at the varsity high school level for four years, followed by collegiate club soccer at UCLA. During my time at UCLA we won the club college soccer championship. As a coach, I have trained athletes ages 6–17, including advanced competitive players, by designing individualized training plans focused on technical quality, confidence, and game understanding. Since 2023, I have worked consistently as a private trainer, building long-term relationships with families who value structured sessions, clear communication, and measurable improvement. Additionally, I have learned and coached under Jalil Anibaba, a former professional MLS soccer player, who chose me to work at his summer and winter camps in Sacramento.
Best coach I ever had
The best coach I ever had was one of my first club soccer coaches, when I was 12 years old. He instilled such confidence in me, allowing me to play without fear. This allowed me to move up to ECNL and thrive. Additionally, he worked with me to develop my strengths and make me a unique player, rather than coaching every player the same.
What athletes & parents should know
I am dependable, organized, and highly communicative with both athletes and families. I take scheduling seriously, respond promptly, and arrive prepared with a clear plan for every session. I am committed to long-term player development and avoid quick fixes, focusing instead on habits that translate to real game improvement. I am also willing and excited to attend matches when possible, allowing me to evaluate athletes in real game environments and adjust training based on what I see on the field. My goal is to provide thoughtful, consistent coaching that helps athletes grow with confidence as players and people.

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!
