Together, we will work hard, play hard, which will lead to positive results.
Having played, coached, and scouted soccer in a variety of capacities over the last 25 years, I bring a deep passion for the sport. I have coached boys and girls at the high school, youth club, and college club levels in Ohio, Oregon, Colorado, and Idaho. I serve as Head Coach for the Hilliard Bradley High School Boys Soccer Team. While soccer is truly a team sport, each individual player must be as stout and well-rounded within their own game as possible. A strong team is one in which each of the 18 players is capable and sound in all facets of the game. The majority of young players find themselves only training within the structured atmosphere at organized team sessions. Training 1-on-1 will put the attention and onus on the player alone, which will lead to enhanced development.

About Me:
I played soccer from the age of 10 up through my early 30's, having recently retired from playing due to injuries. But I was lucky enough to have played for some phenomenal coaches, great teammates, and quality teams. I played varsity as a freshman and played club in Columbus, Ohio. After my adolescent years, I continued to play competitively for adult club teams and recreational leagues as I grew older.
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus on their individual strengths and weaknesses. Building a training regiment that is focused on their specific needs.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
While soccer is truly a team sport, it is critical that each individual player be as stout and well-rounded within their own game as possible. A strong team is one in which each of the 18 players is capable and sound in all facets of the game. Often times, young players find themselves only training within the structured atmosphere at organized team sessions. I highly recommend that players of all ages and abilities train on their own, whether alone in the backyard, with friends at a park, or 1 on 1 with a coach, all are imperative for improving.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached soccer at a variety of levels, including high school varsity, youth club, and college club in Ohio, Colorado, Oregon and Idaho.

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!
