I build confident, skilled soccer players through clear, structured coaching
I focus on shaping smart, skilled soccer players by blending strong fundamentals, modern training methods, and individualized coaching that builds confidence, improves decision-making, and encourages a competitive team culture.
How I can help you improve
Every player learns differently, but high-level movement and technical foundation are universal!
A typical training session
In every private training session, players experience an intentional, high-energy environment built to sharpen technical mechanics, movement efficiency, and speed of play.
We begin with a dynamic warm-up focused on coordination, multi-directional foot speed, and body control before moving into high-repetition technical work—emphasizing first-touch composure, receiving on the half-turn, and balanced comfort with both feet.
From there, we translate those mechanics into realistic game scenarios, using simulated pressure to build fast decision-making, 1v1 confidence, and position-specific IQ.
Every session wraps up with immediate feedback and customized home assignments…simple, 10-minute daily technical drills designed to lock in progress and build accountability between sessions so athletes hit the field with real confidence on game day!
Career & accomplishments
With years of experience as a Head Coach and Program Developer, I specialize in creating structured training models that combine technical drills, tactical strategies, and video analysis to maximize player potential. My coaching philosophy emphasizes individualized attention, team spirit, and a professional environment that fosters growth both on and off the field.
Best coach I ever had

What athletes & parents should know
I coach because I truly care about developing players the right way....not because it’s just a job.
My focus is on building strong fundamentals, which I believe are the foundation for long-term success in soccer. Too often, I see others skipping these essential steps and prioritizing short-term results over real development. My approach emphasizes technical skills, tactical understanding, and a structured progression that prepares players for every level of the game.
I create an environment that is positive, professional, and goal-oriented, where athletes learn not only how to play but how to think and grow as players.
For me, coaching is about helping each individual reach their full potential through hard work, discipline, and a love for the game.

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.
Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.
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!
