I'm a professional goalkeeper who enjoys coaching youth and collegiate level goalkeepers to help develop their skills to the next level. I’m now an assistant coach for Sam Houston State University’s women’s soccer team. I grew up playing at an elite level in San Diego, CA with the San Diego Surf soccer team and went on to commit to the University of Texas, Austin as a sophomore in high school. I played professionally for 3 years for the Houston Dash and Vittsjo Gik in the Damallsvenskan in Sweden. Outside of soccer, I enjoy trying new foods, spending time at the park with my dog, staying active and catching up with friends.
As a coach, I help improve a goalkeeper’s game by focusing on strong fundamentals, confidence, and long-term development. I create a positive learning environment where mistakes are seen as part of growth, while reinforcing key technical skills like handling, footwork, positioning, and distribution. Training is challenging, engaging, and game-realistic, with an emphasis on decision-making and making the save. By building confidence, consistency, and enjoyment in the position, I help goalkeepers develop the skills and mindset needed to progress and perform under pressure.
The first thing when we meet is to go over goals and expectations as well as strengths and weaknesses. Then, when we progress into a physical training, the training will look structured, engaging, and tailored to the goalkeeper’s age and ability. We start with a dynamic warm-up that includes light handling and footwork to activate movement and focus. From there, the session progresses into technical work, concentrating on core fundamentals such as set position, movement, handling, and diving, with lots of repetition in game-realistic scenarios.
As the session develops, I introduce decision-making elements—when to catch or parry, when to hold position or come for the ball—so the goalkeeper is constantly thinking, not just reacting. Distribution is also included, helping the goalkeeper stay calm and accurate with the ball at their feet and hands. Sessions finish with a fun, competitive activity or match-related scenario to reinforce learning, build confidence, and ensure the goalkeeper leaves motivated and enjoying their development.

Best coach I've ever had was Scott Blunt; he was the definition of gritty and always pushing me to be the best. Most of my philosophies are molded after him.
I believe every goalkeeper develops at a different pace, so sessions are age-appropriate, structured, and tailored to the individual. I place a strong emphasis on safety, communication, and consistency, while helping goalkeepers grow not only as players but also in confidence and character. My goal is to support athletes and parents through clear communication, honest feedback, and a shared commitment to helping each goalkeeper reach their potential.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
