Book Lessons with Coach Marko

I am a private instructor with 4+ years of experience working with players of all ages. I believe in building a strong foundation for my players and then developing the mental, physical, and technical aspects of their game that will take them to new levels. I enjoy improving their skill level and understanding of the game while maintaining a good balance between hard work and fun so that they never lose the joy that comes with playing the beautiful game.

Get to know Coach Marko

About Me:

I've been playing soccer since I was twelve years old and am an avid football fan who supports Manchester United, although I enjoy following the game globally. When I'm not coaching soccer I enjoy playing in pickup games and in leagues around the Bay Area.

How I can help you improve your game:

I am passionate about improving the way my players think and feel the game. I believe in creating a strong foundation and then expanding on a player's technical skills in order to reach higher and higher levels. I also believe it's important for players to understand why the things we train are relevant to them and how they would translate into real games so they don't feel as if they're just doing pointless drills. The training sessions I put together are designed to improve a player's physical, mental, and technical skills to allow them to develop and improve overall as a player.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

Sessions are usually an hour long and include a mix of physical and technical exercises designed to improve stamina, athleticism/agility and shooting/passing/dribbling skills. Sessions usually begin with agility and conditioning exercises before we get into the shooting, dribbling, and passing drills which make up the bulk of the lesson. I like to wind down at the end with either a fun game or challenge.

Career summary and accomplishments:

I've been coaching for over four years and have helped my students get into soccer academies in the Bay Area, develop specific aspects of their game that they were looking to improve, or just develop an appreciation for playing the sport.

Best coach I ever had:

My dad who helped instill a love of sports in me and who taught me the basics and how satisfying it can be to improve your game while also letting me figure things out for myself and have fun.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

I'm passionate about soccer and helping players become better versions of themselves as players and people. The weekly schedule listed here is a general outline and if you are looking to schedule a session outside of the specified time frames feel free to let me know. The same goes for the training locations, I am open to travel to a location of your choice if you have a spot you like to train at.

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.
