Book Lessons with Coach Nishant
Combining soccer experience, sports science, and positive coaching
Hello, I'm Nishant. Soccer has been a big part of my life for the past 20+ years of my life. I'm very passionate helping athletes improve their skills, confidence, and overall performance. I earned my Bachelor's of Science degree in Kinesiology and am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Athletic Training, giving me a strong foundation in movement, performance, and injury prevention. My coaching philosophy focuses on creating a positive and supportive environment where athletes can develop at their own pace while being challenged to reach their potential.

Get to know Coach Nishant
About Me:
My name is Nishant. I've been involved in soccer for most of my life and have over 12 years of playing experience at both the recreational and club levels. Growing up, I played with organizations such as Tredyffrin/Easttown Youth Soccer Association, Issaquah Soccer Club, and ISC Arsenal. My experiences as a player, referee, and sports professional have given me a well-rounded understanding of the game and athlete development.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve their game by focusing on the basics first and building from there. A lot of growth comes from small details—clean technique, better decision-making, and learning how to stay consistent in training. I try to meet each athlete where they are and help them build confidence as they develop. I also bring what I’ve learned from my background in kinesiology and athletic training into my coaching, especially when it comes to movement, performance, and staying healthy. My goal is to help athletes not only get better in the moment, but also build habits and understanding that help them keep improving over time.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me looks like a light warmup focused on movement and mobility. From here we focus on more technical work based on the athletes goal this can include ball control, passing, dribbling, first touch, and finishing. I like to build in more game-like situations so the athletes can apply what they're learning under pressure.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have over 12 years of soccer experience playing at both recreational and club levels, along with experience as a certified youth soccer referee. These roles helped me develop a strong understanding of the game, communication, and player development from multiple perspectives. In college, I worked as an Intramural Sports Referee and was later promoted to Intramural Supervisor, where I helped manage officials and game operations. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Athletic Training at Xavier University. My background combines hands-on soccer experience with academic knowledge in movement, performance, and injury prevention, which I apply when working with athletes.
Best coach I ever had:
Best coach I ever had was Kevin Masters when I played for ISC Arsenal. He was able to develop another part of my game including being calm under pressure and gave the entire pointers on how to get better and steps on how he would make us better.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I care about helping players improve in a way that is both effective and safe. My approach is focused on building strong fundamentals, improving confidence, and helping athletes understand the game better not just going through drills.

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!
