Work hard, have fun, and see improvement in skills and ideas that are evident on game day.

Hello, I’m Coach Sean. I’ve played this amazing game more than 30 years and have been a student of the game the whole time. Even now, I find myself learning new things as I teach others how to level up. My coaching process is individual based, I will assess needs and create a progression of drills to address those specific needs. Within all trainings there will be a focus on the fundamental techniques of ball striking, body shape, and speed of play as these are at the heart of player development. The goal is to improve confidence on the ball, speed of play, and to give ideas that the player can build off of after the sessions end.

Get to know Coach Sean

About Me:

I am a father of 2 young kids who both play club soccer so my weekends have been hijacked by scrimmages and tournaments. The constant hustle to manage what uniform, what park, what time, is something I’m very familiar with. I also coach on a 2015 boys team and am constantly out on the soccer field so I can help with what to expect if you are planning to go from rec to club, flight 3 to 2, flight 2 to 1, etc…

How I can help you improve your game:

I can teach the very basics to the most technical of skills and everything in between. Passing and vision from simple 1-2 progressions to shaping balls with spin and teasing defenders out of position. Shooting techniques from basic ball striking to shaping shots with inside, outside curve, and knuckling the ball. Defense posturing, jockeying, cutting angles, tackling, positioning awareness.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

I bring a portable big goal or two pop up goals for shots. 3 pop up defenders. Cones and saucers. 10 balls. 3-5 drills in a progression based on what we’re working on for the day and do each drill 2-3 times. The progressions focus on a primary subject like first touch, finishing, dribbling, and then will have a secondary objective like change of pace, looking up, creating space. I like to give multiple ideas in the drills to work on developing decision making along with the skill.

Career summary and accomplishments:

Hold all west region major youth tournament trophies or runner up medals. At 17 was invited to final round of ODP tryouts with a spot all but secured then blew my knee out snowboarding and never went back to playing competitive soccer. Coach at the recreational and club level for more than a decade. Outside of soccer you can catch my name in television and movie credits as a music editor. Music being my other life passion.

Best coach I ever had:

Steve Sampson

What athletes and parents should know about me:

I coach with a smile and think hard work and fun go together.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 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.

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.

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!
