Book Private Soccer Lessons with Coach Boris
I was always choosing to play soccer and enjoy it,because if it's an obligation, that's not a good thing. That's why I like to teach my players to do the same,to learn something new,to work hard,progress every day,and just enjoy the momentum. This sport is like a passion, chess game,spiritual travel which can take you around the world or just stay local but enjoy every moment while playing it. As a player I always wanted to bring my own decisions and choose what's best for my career. I also want my players to do the same. It's my job to prepare them for whatever is coming, in career and in the life.No regrets no looking back,just straight forward and enjoy while it lasts because career is short but as a coach one can continue it and pass knowledge to next generation. That's my motivation now,I have a lot to offer from my international career and I feel it would be a waste if I don't use it proper way. My point is to make any kids that I train a better player and even more important,a better person.

About Me:
20 years playing professionally for many clubs in Europe,and Asia
How I can help you improve your game:
I have really good eye to catch what any player need to improve, technique,strength, speed,tactics or just decision making, depending on position that they play and then just focus on things that can improve their abilities. Basically, my experience allows me to do it pretty easy and kids can notice improvement very fast,the only thing they need to do is to be persistent and focused.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We start with warm up,including technique skills,speed tests,strength and then we do tactical things,positions on the field,cooperation with teammates etc... after all soccer is collective sport,and no matter how good you are,you still depend on other players. The best thing is that you get best friends there,people that you can count on in the future because those friendships from your youth are the best ones and they last forever.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I started in lower league club in Serbia which was a great experience for me because I was a coach and a player at the same time. That allowed me to use all my ideas on the field and see how it goes. That was the time when I realized I can do this job successfully and especially now when I work with kids,it's pretty easy for me,because they need to learn basic things first,so it's easier to upgrade them in later stages of their careers. Here in USA,I was working for FC Knights and lately for Hotshots4kids but I am looking for a new challenge.
Best coach I ever had:
My best coach was my coach in juniors and later also my coach in first team who introduced me with all soccer secrets which are way more than just training but also behavior off the field,mental strength, recovery,nutrition, taking care of your body in any possible way.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a coach who had a great career as a player who accomplished almost everything that dreamed of as a kid. I won many trophies, enjoyed every moment on the field and never accepted to do things that are not allowed in sport. Soccer is also known as number one sport in the world and there are many bad things in it,just in any sport industry. I would never allow players to do any of those things. I have strong mindset and character and I want my players to be like that too.

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 determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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!
