Get to know Coach Stefan
About Me:
I began my soccer journey playing at the prestigious Ceahlaul Piatra Neamt academy in Romania until the age of 15, where I had the privilege of playing alongside future Bundesliga players and members of the Romanian National Team. Upon moving to the United States, I continued my soccer career at New Rochelle High School in New York, helping the team reach the New York State semifinals.
During the off-season in spring, I played for the Westchester Flames, further honing my skills and competitive experience. In college, I was actively involved in the soccer community and served as the Vice President of the Pace University Club Soccer team, contributing to the growth and success of the program.
Throughout my career, I’ve demonstrated leadership, dedication, and a passion for the sport, both on and off the field.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help someone improve their game by teaching them the most effective techniques for shooting, passing, and dribbling. My approach ensures they develop skills that will not only help them succeed but also allow them to make an impactful contribution wherever they play.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session begins with a warm-up to get the body ready for activity. I incorporate resistance bands to prime the muscles for shooting and sprinting. Throughout the session, I emphasize injury prevention while helping athletes refine their technique and build strength
Career summary and accomplishments:
My first coaching experience was in New York with F.C. Transylvania, where I worked during summer camps. This role allowed me to develop my coaching skills, working with young athletes to enhance their technical abilities and understanding of the game. I also spent two years coaching for Cincy SC, where I continued to emphasize teamwork, discipline, and a passion for soccer. Across these experiences, I have focused on providing players with a strong foundation to grow both on and off the field.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Constantin Pancu. He was instrumental in discovering Alexandru Maxim, who went on to play in the Bundesliga and represent the Romanian National Team. What set Coach Pancu apart was his coaching philosophy, which emphasized intelligence on the field and the importance of teamwork. Under his guidance, I learned how to think critically during games and collaborate effectively with my teammates, shaping my approach to soccer in profound ways.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
What athletes and parents should know about me is that my ultimate goal is to help people fall in love with the game. I aim to share insights by explaining the subtle details and strategies often overlooked in professional soccer games. I pride myself on paying attention to the finer points, ensuring that every player I work with builds a solid foundation they can develop for their future success.

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!
