Austin is the kind of coach you trust right awayâpatient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in his players.

Our child not only improved technically but also became more motivated and self-assured after just a few lessons. If you want a coach who combines expertise with encouragement and gets real results, Austin is the perfect choice.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWhen I work with a beginner in private soccer lessons, I focus on building a strong foundation while keeping the experience fun and confidence-boosting. I start by assessing their comfort with the ball, coordination, and personality so I can tailor each session. Early success is important, so I use simple, achievable drills to build confidence before moving into core fundamentals like dribbling, passing, receiving, and basic shooting mechanics. I keep learning engaging through small games, challenges, and play-based activities that build creativity and comfort on the ball, while gradually introducing simple tactical ideas without overwhelming them. I also help develop overall athletic skills such as balance, coordination, and agility, especially for younger or brand-new players. Throughout every session, I reinforce a positive mindset with clear praise, simple corrections, and encouragement, and I track progress with small, realistic goals to help players and parents see steady improvement.
Lesson 11+After the player completes the remainder of their lessons, my focus shifts to refining their overall game performance and preparing them to feel confident in real match situations. By this stage, their technical foundation is much stronger, so we work on applying skills under increased pressureâfaster dribbling sequences, cleaner first touches, more accurate passing, and purposeful shooting in different scenarios. I introduce game-like patterns, improved decision-making, and small tactical concepts such as supporting angles, transition play, and awareness of space. Sessions become more fluid and competitive, with challenges that push their speed of play, coordination, and mental sharpness. I consistently track progress, highlight their growth, and identify the next set of goals that will elevate them even further. Most importantly, I ensure they leave the program with confidence, a solid understanding of the game, and the motivation to continue improving both on their own and in team environments.
Lesson 4-10Between sessions four and ten, I shift the focus toward deeper skill development and stronger game understanding while still keeping everything accessible for a beginner. At this stage, the player is gaining comfort with the basics, so I start increasing the speed, intensity, and complexity of drillsâconnecting multiple skills in sequence, introducing more dynamic ball control, and expanding their passing and receiving patterns. I incorporate more small-sided situations like 1v1s, 2v1s, and reaction-based drills to help them make quick decisions and apply techniques under light pressure. We begin shaping good habits such as staying open to receive, recognizing when to dribble versus pass, and positioning their body correctly in different moments of play. Physical development also becomes more intentional with added agility work, coordination challenges, and movement patterns that support their technical growth. Throughout these sessions, I set clear, measurable goals, give consistent feedback, and make sure each lesson still feels fun and motivating while steadily preparing them for real game environments.
Lesson 2-3After three sessions, I focus on building off the playerâs early foundation by increasing the difficulty just enough to challenge them while keeping things enjoyable and confidence-driven. By this point I have a clear understanding of their strengths, areas for improvement, and learning style, so I start introducing more purposeful drills that connect skills togetherâlike dribbling into a pass, receiving and turning, or shooting after a combination. Sessions begin to include more decision-making, slightly faster-paced touches, and small 1v1 or 2v1 game situations that help them apply their skills in realistic scenarios. I continue reinforcing technique, but I also start teaching simple tactical habits such as moving into space, staying aware of surroundings, and choosing the right moment to pass or dribble. Progress tracking becomes more focused, with specific short-term goals to help the player grow steadily while keeping the experience fun, motivating, and suited to their development.
Youth players
Working with kidsI adapt my lessons for children by creating an environment that is energetic, encouraging, and centered around learning through play. Kids stay engaged when activities feel like games, so I use fun challenges, imagination-based drills, and short, fast-paced exercises that match their attention span. I simplify instructions, demonstrate everything visually, and break skills into small, achievable steps to ensure they feel successful early and often. Iâm patient and positive, giving lots of encouragement and celebrating effort just as much as improvement. I also tailor sessions to each childâs personalityâsome need more structure, while others thrive with creativity and freedom. As they improve, I gradually increase difficulty in ways that keep it exciting rather than overwhelming. My goal is to build not only their soccer skills but also their confidence, coordination, resilience, and love for the game, making every lesson something they look forward to.
Working with teenagersI adapt my lessons for teenagers by creating a training environment that feels challenging, purposeful, and respectful of their growing independence. At this age, players want to understand the âwhyâ behind drills, so I explain concepts clearly and connect each exercise to real game situations. I introduce higher-intensity technical work, faster decision-making drills, and more tactical elements like movement off the ball, situational awareness, and game IQ. Teenagers also respond well to competition, so I incorporate competitive challenges, timed drills, and small-sided scenarios that push their speed of play. At the same time, I stay supportive and approachable, giving honest, constructive feedback while encouraging confidence and accountability. I tailor the sessions to their goalsâwhether they want to make a school team, level up technically, or get more game-readyâso the training feels meaningful, motivating, and suited to their stage of development.
