How I can help you improve your game:
With a vibrant energy and a passion for soccer, I am committed to helping young players elevate their game. I bring enthusiasm and a fresh perspective to each training session, aiming to make soccer both enjoyable and educational. My background includes training with ex-professionals in soccer and Olympic runners, which has equipped me with advanced knowledge in both speed and game strategy. I focus on enhancing players' agility, speed, and tactical understanding, ensuring they develop the skills and confidence needed to excel on the field.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
The structure of a training session is tailored to the player's skill level, with the initial session serving as an evaluation to identify strengths and weaknesses. A typical session starts with a dynamic warm-up to prepare the body and prevent injuries, followed by skill drills focusing on areas such as dribbling, passing, and shooting to enhance technical abilities. The session concludes with conditioning drills to build endurance and a cool-down to promote recovery. Throughout the training, I emphasize a balance of fun and hard work.
Career summary and accomplishments:
My diverse background has equipped me with a deep understanding of the game, enabling me to create a dynamic and effective training environment that fosters both enjoyment and development for aspiring soccer players. I am just now entering my journey and love for coaching. As a young player and teacher I am excited to see where it takes me.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Beto Dos Santos. An ex-pro and uncle of Giovani Dos Santos. He was the best because he was hard on me, since he saw potential. He never wanted me to become stagnant or think I had everything figured.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I will definitely be able to create a fun environment where the player will be able to learn a lot. However, if needed/wanted I will make sure the student works hard and achieves their true potential. Tough love, fun, and hard work are the key to a successful soccer player.

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!
