Get to know Olivia
Helping young athletes build skills, confidence, and a love for soccer.
Hii, I’m Olivia :) with 7 years of experience both refereeing and coaching children of all ages & 10+ years of playing, I’m passionate about helping young athletes build confidence, improve their skills, and enjoy the game. My coaching style focuses on strong fundamentals, teamwork, sportsmanship, and creating a positive environment where every child feels encouraged to grow.
How I can help you improve
Whether your child is just starting soccer or preparing for competition, I tailor every session to their age, skill level, and goals. I focus on dribbling, passing, shooting, ball control and teamwork while making sure every lesson is engaging, encouraging, and fun. My goal is for every player to leave with more confidence than when they arrived.
A typical training session
Every session begins with a fun warm-up and ball touches before moving into age-appropriate drills and games. I like to mix instruction with challenges to keep children engaged while reinforcing fundamentals. I finish lessons by reviewing what was learned and celebrating improvement.
Career & accomplishments
For the past 4 years, I’ve worked in professional sports with the LA Dodgers and Golden State Warriors, and I’m happy to be back in the Midwest helping the next generation develop a love for the game.
Best coach I ever had
My 3rd grade coach, because he made the game fun! His enthusiasm and his ability to appropriately show and tell us the way to play made me want to continue playing, especially as a young girl who was a lefty ;)
What athletes & parents should know
I’m patient, encouraging, and understand that every child learns at their own pace, but I’m also intentional with every session. I provide clear instruction and focused skill development so children stay engaged and families feel confident they’re getting the most out of every lesson.

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!
