About Me:
I was a multisport athlete growing up, so I know the value of helping athleticism flourish. I have been playing soccer since I was 6, and I played club and high school soccer in Montana, before going to MSU and playing one year for the club team. I got into coaching my sophomore year at university and have been coaching nonstop for the last ten years at the club, high school, college (CC & D2), semi-pro, and MLS Next Academy level.
How I can help you improve your game:
Having coached specifically GK's for over 10 years, I am well versed in the technical aspects that need to be corrected, and I want to work together in a partnership with the player to improve things that will best help them out in the long run. This includes set position, footwork, goal-specific positioning, distribution, and diving technique. I also want to make sure the player understands the mental aspects of goalkeeping that will also help them out in life.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Typically, after identifying things that need to be worked on, we will work on one specific theme per session. This starts out with a warm-up, footwork, and then a ball-specific warm-up to make sure everything is activated. Then we will go into smaller technical activities that open into larger goal-specific activities and end with some shooting or distribution.

Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was a tennis coach in high school named Wally. He made the sport fun while also challenging us and demanding excellence. His coaching style inspired me to be a coach and to be demanding yet positive and leave room for mistakes, as that is how you learn best.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a coach who believes in encouragement, and I will be a positive voice while also demanding excellence and giving specific coaching points. I have over a decade of experience in specifically coaching goalkeepers at all levels, so I am able to catch small details as well as coach overarching themes to improve players in the long term.

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!
