In today’s competitive youth soccer landscape, having a specialized coach can make a significant difference in a player’s development, particularly for goalkeepers. As a dedicated and experienced goalkeeper coach, I offer a unique blend of technical expertise, personalized attention, and a passion for nurturing young talent. Here’s why I am the ideal choice to help your child excel as a goalkeeper. Expertise and Experience First and foremost, my background in soccer is extensive. I have played the position of goalkeeper for several years, during which I honed not only my skills but also a deep understanding of the game from a goalkeeper's perspective. I have successfully coached numerous young athletes, guiding them through the technical and tactical aspects of goalkeeping. This hands-on experience allows me to provide your child with insights that are essential for mastering the position. Personalized Coaching Approach Every child is unique, and I believe that coaching should reflect that individuality. I focus on understanding each player’s strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations. By tailoring my coaching methods to meet your child’s specific needs, I create a supportive environment where they can thrive. This personalized approach not only enhances their skills but also fosters a love for the game, building confidence and motivation. Skill Development Goalkeeping requires a unique skill set, including shot-stopping, positioning, communication, and distribution. I emphasize the importance of mastering the fundamentals while also introducing advanced techniques as players progress. My training sessions are designed to be engaging and challenging, incorporating drills that promote agility, reflexes, and decision-making. As your child develops these skills, they will become a more effective and confident goalkeeper. Mental Resilience One of the most critical aspects of being a goalkeeper is mental toughness. I teach young goalkeepers how to handle pressure, stay focused, and bounce back from mistakes. Through various training exercises and real-game scenarios, I help players develop the psychological resilience needed to succeed in high-pressure situations. This mental fortitude is not only beneficial on the field but also translates to other areas of life. Building a Team Player While goalkeepers often stand alone in their role, they are vital to the team's success. I emphasize the importance of communication and teamwork in my coaching. I teach goalkeepers how to effectively communicate with their defenders, organize the defense, and contribute to the overall team strategy. By fostering a sense of camaraderie and leadership, I help your child become a well-rounded player who positively impacts their team. Positive Environment I am committed to creating a positive and inclusive coaching environment. I believe that every child should feel valued, respected, and encouraged. My coaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of effort over perfection, promoting a growth mindset that inspires players to take risks and learn from their experiences. This approach not only enhances skill development but also instills a lifelong love for the game. Proven Results My track record speaks for itself. Many of my former players have gone on to excel at higher levels of competition, demonstrating significant improvements in their skills and confidence. I maintain strong relationships with my players and their families, which speaks to the impact my coaching has on their development. I can provide testimonials and references from parents and players who have experienced firsthand the benefits of my coaching. Conclusion Choosing the right goalkeeper coach is crucial for your child’s development and enjoyment of soccer. With my expertise, personalized coaching approach, focus on skill development, mental resilience training, and commitment to fostering a positive environment, I am confident that I can help your child reach their full potential as a goalkeeper. Let’s work together to empower your child to become the best they can be on the field. Thank you for considering me as your child’s goalkeeper coach; I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to their soccer journey.

Get to know Coach Aaron

About Me:

All state at Blue Valley Southwest High School in Kansas

Played 4 years at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas

How I can help you improve your game:

I want to first find out where they want to go with this beautiful position. Whether it be college or pro, I will find where they need to focus on to get there. The mental aspect is one of the biggest obstacles for unlocking potential, so I want to know where their mind goes in various times of a game and how to address the negative thoughts that can cripple even the best goalies in the world.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

It is structured uniquely for each player, but agility and footwork will be the foundation. From there each training session will be tailored towards the individual. If a player is able to get film from games I would go through that remotely or to begin each session so I can properly spot weaknesses and progress.

Career summary and accomplishments:

-Ran sessions under Dan Stevens at Elite Goalkeepers in Kansas -volunteer for various “special guest” coaching sessions at colleges and professional teams

Best coach I ever had:

Dan Stevens was my first goalkeeper coach, as goalkeepers we are cast aside in most training sessions, but his outlook on all the complexities of the position allowed me to narrow down what it is that makes me the best goalkeeper I can be. Every goalkeeper thrives in different ways and like Dan, I want to bring that out of each goalkeeper I encounter.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

With this unique and often isolated position in sport, the mental aspect is a huge point that I am passionate about either strengthening or unlocking. Goalkeeper is the best position in all of sports and I want to share my passion and experience with players who want to take their game to the next level.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
