Current NCAA D1 Athlete; Coaching technique, IQ, & the mental game.
I currently play D1 college soccer for the University of North Alabama. Being able to coach and support young athletes has always been a goal of mine and I am so grateful that I am able to be a system of support just like my coaches have been for me. My training sessions are intentional, intense, but also so much fun. I focus a lot on technical speed, footwork, and passing. Building these technical skills is very important for young athletes, especially as they get older. Providing support, advice, and motivation is the purpose of my training sessions, and with consistency these young athletes will see success in their performance on the field.

About Me:
I started playing soccer when I was 13 years old. I played ECNL soccer for 4 years before heading to Metropolitan State University of Denver to player NCAA D2 soccer. I played for Metro for my first 3 years of college, and then I decided to transfer to University of North Alabama which is a NCAA D1 school. I plan to finish up my last year of college soccer and then see where the wind takes me next, whether that be playing overseas or working in professional women's soccer.
How I can help you improve your game:
I will teach the proper technique of all the elements of soccer. I will explain how each movement is game realistic and when to use it in a game. I will demand a lot out of each player so that they are prepared when it comes to performing on the field in a game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I have a consistent pattern to all of my training sessions. I believe in consistency and repetition, especially when it comes to building a technical base. Everything that I teach, I have used to train myself. My training sessions are intentional, intense, but also so much fun, and I love to add elements of competition into my sessions.
Career summary and accomplishments:
When I was 16 I started my own coaching business and I have been doing that every summer for the past 5 years. I have coached younger club teams and ran multiple training camps.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was a coach that challenged me to see what I was capable of. She took me to the next level by making me study the game of soccer and challenged me physically when it came to the actual soccer aspect. She also helped me mentally by showing me what confidence and self awareness can do. Things like advocating for yourself as a female athlete and trusting the work that you have put in.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I believe in helping the person before the athlete. At the end of the day, sports will end but the lessons that we learn for our experiences will stay with us for the rest of our lives.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
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.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
