Get to know Vinh
Professional Soccer Player for all-around or position-specific training
Hello! My name is Vinh and I am a professional soccer player that also played at some of the best MLS and youth academies in the US. I previously played for Chicago Fire's MLS Academy and Barca Academy where we were ranked #1 in the country for an entire year at the U19 age group. I have played 2 years professionally overseas and have been on trial with 4 different professional teams in the US over the past year. I am here to help you improve with detail-orientated training sessions and give you the standards you need to meet in order to play at your desired level. Whether you are trying to show out at your next rec league game or strive to play at the academy/college/semi-pro/professional level, I will provide you the training you need to get there. Focusing on all aspects of the game to create a specialized plan for you from technical, tactical, fitness, building confidence, and improving habits off the field. With flexible locations and scheduling, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions!
How I can help you improve
Whether you are trying to show out at your next rec league game or strive to play at the academy/college/semi-pro/professional level, I will provide you the training you need to get there. Focusing on all aspects of the game to create a specialized plan for you from technical, tactical, fitness, building confidence, and improving habits off the field.
Since I am also an active player myself, certain technical drills like passing, shooting, and dribbling I can actively do alongside you and compete!
A typical training session
Ultimately will vary depending on if you want position-specific training but will usually consist of a thorough warm up, technical warm up, ball mastery, position-specific drills and going through in-game situations, and finishing with fitness and thorough cooldown stretch.
After the session, we will reflect on how you can further improve and how the trainings can be adjusted and can look like going forward to cater to your needs as a player.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
