Unlocking athlete's potential—on and off the field.
Unlocking athlete's potential—on and off the field.
As a former Division 1 athlete, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to balance performance, identity, and growth beyond the sport. That’s why I’m passionate about Athlete Untapped’s mission to help athletes unlock their full potential—on and off the field. I believe in developing the whole person, not just the player, by fostering confidence, purpose, and mental strength that lasts long after competition ends.

About Me:
Hi, I’m Lydia! I’m a former Division 1 soccer player who’s passionate about helping athletes build confidence, balance, and purpose both on and off the field. Through my experience competing at a high level, I learned how powerful mindset, consistency, and self-belief are in reaching your potential and I love helping others tap into that.
How I can help you improve your game:
I’ll help you strengthen not only your soccer performance but you mental performance as well. I will teach you to stay accountable, and build routines that support your goals, I even am passionate about nutrition so I will dive deep into that. Together, we’ll focus on preparation, confidence under pressure, and translating your hard work into consistent results.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Expect an energetic, motivating session where we push limits not boundaries and have fun doing it. We’ll start by setting clear goals for the day, then dive into focused drills, mindset work, and real talk about what’s working and what’s not. I bring the same drive and intensity I had as a D1 athlete—so every session keeps you challenged, confident, and fired up to improve. You’ll walk away feeling accomplished, focused, and ready to take on your next game with purpose and power.

What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’ve been an athlete my whole life, from competing as a Division 1 soccer player to running a marathon after college. I know what it takes to stay disciplined, motivated, and goal-driven long after the final whistle. I don’t just tell athletes what to do; I do it myself. I’m also passionate about nutrition and helping others feel their best because we only get one life to live. Everything I coach comes from real experience, consistency, and a genuine love for pushing limits. My goal is to inspire athletes to realize that success doesn’t just come from talent but from mindset, effort, and belief in yourself every single day.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
