Developing smarter, confident players through technical and game-based training.
My goal is to help players become more confident, technically skilled, and intelligent decision-makers on the field. My training combines technical development with realistic, game-based situations so players learn not only how to perform a skill, but when and why to use it. I have completed U.S. Soccer coaching licenses and coaching education through The FA, including Introduction to Coaching Football and Introduction to Talent Identification. I continuously develop my coaching knowledge through U.S. Soccer, England Football Learning, The Coaches’ Voice, tactical analysis, and additional coaching courses. Every session is adapted to the player’s age, ability, position, and individual goals, with an emphasis on creating a positive, challenging, and enjoyable environment.
I will help you develop both the technical skills and game understanding needed to become a more complete soccer player. Depending on your position, level, and goals, we can work on first touch, passing and receiving, ball control, dribbling, finishing, movement, scanning, body positioning, decision-making, and playing under pressure. Rather than simply repeating drills, I want players to understand when, where, and why to use different skills during a game. We will identify your strengths and areas for improvement and build training around your individual needs
Every session is designed around the individual player's age, ability, position, and goals. We typically begin with a dynamic warm-up and ball work before progressing into technical activities related to the session's main objective. From there, I introduce increasingly realistic exercises that challenge the player to scan, make decisions, execute skills under pressure, and solve situations they may encounter during a match. We finish with competitive or game-related activities whenever possible, followed by a brief review of what we learned and what the player can continue working on independently. Sessions are progressive, challenging, and enjoyable, not simply a collection of drills.
I have developed my soccer knowledge through years of playing, studying the game, and pursuing formal coaching education. I have earned U.S. Soccer coaching licenses and completed The FA’s Introduction to Coaching Football and Introduction to Talent Identification, along with additional coaching education. I continue to expand my knowledge through U.S. Soccer, England Football Learning, The Coaches’ Voice, tactical analysis, and match study. My goal is to continue developing as a coach while helping players improve technically, tactically, physically, and mentally.
The best coaches I have learned from are the ones who taught players to understand the game rather than simply telling them what to do. I value coaches who ask questions, encourage players to find solutions, and create an environment where mistakes become opportunities to learn. That approach has strongly influenced the type of coach I want to become: demanding enough to challenge players, but supportive enough to give them confidence to express themselves
I value communication and welcome feedback from both athletes and parents. I will challenge players and hold them to high standards, but I also want training to be positive, enjoyable, and a place where players aren't afraid to make mistakes. Most importantly, I want athletes to leave each session understanding something about the game better than they did when they arrived.

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.
