Book Lessons with Coach Yahir
A coach who loves to help athletes enjoy the game while pushing them to succeed!
Hey! I am a goalkeeper who recently graduated and played 2 years at Woodland Community College. I have coached kids from Elementary all the way up to High School. My top priority when coaching athletes is to maximize joy and learning; when training is fun, it fosters an optimal learning environment and makes the athlete want to continue playing the beautiful sport of soccer. Cancellation policy: I am mainly available in the AM with my current schedule, so readjustments to training time might be a little difficult. If you would like to reschedule or cancel a training session, give me at least a 24-hour notice before the session. If a session is canceled with less than a 24-hour notice, it will be marked as a completed session. Contact me if you have any questions!

About Me:
How I can help you improve your game:
I focus on mastering the basics, I will focus on handling, shot stopping, and proper diving technique, fitness, ball control, and footwork.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session will last 60 minutes. For the first 15-20 minutes, we will focus on the warmup and the introduction to the main focus of the session, followed by progressions to challenge the player physically and cognitively.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached at a variety of age groups, such as Elementary, middle school, and high school athletes. I have coached at Will C Wood Middle School for 2 years now, Rio Linda High School for 1 year, and at Davis Legacy's youth academy for almost 1 year
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Marcos! he is the reason I decided to become a coach. When I played for him, he made the game easy to understand, he broke down complex concepts simply, and created fun and game-realistic drills. I had the most fun playing under him, and continue to seek his help when it comes to coaching!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am available only in the AM. If you are training with me, you should expect to work hard throughout the entire session. There will be times when athletes will be confused, frustrated, and exhausted, but that is all part of the learning process.

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.
Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.
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!
