Building complete players through skill, mindset, and confidence.
Building complete players through skill, mindset, and confidence.
Hi, I’m Makai Beadle. I played for Jamaica’s Youth National Team and developed at FC Delco(04 MLS Next) and LMSC(04), one of the top clubs in the country. Those experiences shaped me as both a player and a leader, and now I bring that background into private coaching with the same passion and discipline that drove me on the field. My coaching focuses on three pillars: technical skills, game awareness, and confidence. Every session I design is challenging, engaging, and tailored to each athlete’s needs, because no two players develop the same way. Whether it’s mastering ball control, improving decision-making under pressure, or building the self-belief to take risks, my goal is to create an environment where players can truly thrive. With my background at the elite level, I know what it takes to grow in the game—the consistency, discipline, and mindset required to compete at the highest standard. But I also understand the importance of balance: developing resilience, teamwork, and character alongside physical ability. These lessons are just as valuable off the field as they are on it. Ultimately, my mission is to help players reach their full potential—not only by sharpening their skills, but by giving them the tools and confidence to succeed in every aspect of their lives. I’m committed to guiding the next generation of athletes, and I take pride in seeing them carry the lessons we build together into school, sports, and beyond.

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!
