Get to know Coach Mackenzie

About Me:

My name is Mackenzie Yoder! I am a goalkeeper for San Diego State University. I am from Orange County, CA so I will jump between training locations in Orange County and San Diego. I am super passionate about soccer and hope to share it with youth athletes!

How I can help you improve your game:

I can improve your game by helping develop positioning, decision-making, communication, footwork, and confidence under pressure. My experience as a college goalkeeper allows me to teach game awareness, proper technique, and the mentality needed to perform consistently in competitive situations.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

A typical training session will involve a technical warmup working on hand control and footwork. Each session will be catered to what each player needs. So one session topic will vary from another. Ending each session will always be distribution. I cover a lot of different seniors during training to make it as game realistic as possible.

Career summary and accomplishments:

I began playing competitive club soccer at 7 years old. I played for Slammers FC ECNL for 6 years. During club, my team made ECNL playoffs 2022, 2023, 2024. We were two-time conference champions. I played my freshman and sophomore year at the University of Memphis. I transferred to San Diego State University beginning of 2026 where I will finish out my remaining eligibility.

Best coach I ever had:

The best coach I ever had pushed me and helped me developed into the goalkeeper I am today. A lot of what I learned from him and his training style will be implemented into my sessions. He coached me with tough love, but was always the first to bring me up when I was down. I will always be grateful for him and for lighting a bigger fire of passion underneath me.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

I’ve been a goalkeeper since I was 8 years old. It is my passion. I have prior coaching experience while I played in Memphis, TN. I also am mentor for youth athletes, so I am able to do both virtual mental training and field trainings.

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.

  • 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.

Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.

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.
