How I can help you improve your game:
I can help someone improve their game by leveraging my extensive experience playing in various positions, which gives me a well-rounded understanding of soccer. My approach focuses on two key areas:
Technical Skill Development: I emphasize the refinement of core soccer skills, such as dribbling, passing, and shooting, through targeted drills and exercises. By honing these technical abilities, players can enhance their performance and effectiveness on the field.
Tactical Knowledge and Soccer IQ: I work on developing players' soccer IQ by teaching them about game strategies, positioning, and decision-making. This involves analyzing game footage to highlight strategic concepts and positioning principles, helping players understand how to apply these insights during matches.
By integrating technical training with a deep understanding of game tactics, I aim to elevate players' overall comprehension and performance, ensuring they are both skillful and strategically aware on the field.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
1. Warm-Up (5-15 minutes)
Dynamic Stretches: Begin with dynamic stretches and mobility exercises to prepare the body for activity and reduce the risk of injury.
Light Drills: Incorporate light drills, such as passing in pairs or small group exercises, to gradually increase intensity and focus on basic skills.
2. Technical Skill Development (10-20 minutes)
Skill Drills: Focus on specific technical skills, such as dribbling, shooting, or ball control. Use drills that challenge players to refine these skills while under pressure.
Progressive Complexity: Start with simpler drills and gradually increase complexity, incorporating elements like defenders or varying targets to simulate game conditions.
3. Tactical Training (10-20 minutes)
Game Situations: Introduce drills that simulate game scenarios, such as positional play, defensive organization, or attacking strategies. Use small-sided games or tactical exercises to emphasize these concepts.
4. Positional Play and Decision-Making (10-20 minutes)
Positional Drills: Conduct drills that focus on positional awareness and movement. Help players understand their roles within different formations or strategies.
Decision-Making Exercises: Create exercises that require players to make quick decisions, such as when to pass, shoot, or defend. Discuss the reasoning behind their choices to enhance their game intelligence.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have recently embarked on a role as an assistant coach, where my primary focus is on film analysis and collaborative discussion. In this capacity, I am responsible for reviewing game footage and breaking down key moments to enhance team performance. My approach involves a thorough examination of both our own games and those of our opponents, identifying patterns, strengths, and areas for improvement. Twice a week, I lead open discussion sessions with the team and coaching staff. During these sessions, we analyze the film together, focusing on tactical adjustments, positional play, and strategic execution. This collaborative environment allows us to dissect various aspects of the game, from individual player decisions to overall team dynamics. My goal is to facilitate a deeper understanding of game strategies and promote active learning among players. These sessions not only help in refining our tactical approach but also foster a culture of continuous improvement and open communication. By engaging in detailed film analysis and discussions, we aim to enhance our game awareness and make informed adjustments to our strategies.
Best coach I ever had:
All of my coaches have been instrumental into the player I am today. I have learned immensely about the game, but more importantly myself and my talents. One of the most impactful coaches in my career was Luke Gibson, who guided me during my time at Cairn University. Coach Gibson's approach to coaching profoundly shaped my understanding of the game. His focus on tactical knowledge was instrumental in developing my ability to read the game effectively. He placed a strong emphasis on positional awareness, which enhanced my ability to position myself optimally both defensively and offensively.
Coach Gibson also instilled a deep understanding of team concepts, helping me grasp how individual roles fit into the broader strategy. His teaching went beyond basic skills, encompassing strategic thinking and teamwork. This comprehensive approach not only improved my technical abilities but also refined my overall game intelligence, significantly contributing to my growth as a well-rounded player.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Throughout my soccer career, I have excelled in various positions, from my early playing days through college. This diverse experience has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the game from multiple perspectives. My primary focus as a coach is on the technical aspects of soccer, where I emphasize skill development and tactical knowledge.
I am dedicated to enhancing players' soccer IQ, which involves developing a deep understanding of game strategies, positioning, and decision-making. By integrating technical training with strategic insights, I aim to elevate players' overall comprehension and performance on the field.

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!
