Aubrey A.

I have experience coaching players of all ages and levels, male and female. I have coached young kids and beginners, as well as athletes training for Olympic competition. I have coaching experience at the Division 1 Level while serving as the Director of Operations for the University of Miami women's soccer team. I was also one of six college players selected to coach the Nike Premier 50 Camp in 2007.

I have extended experience at camps including local camps in Pennsylvania and Florida. I coached at Penn State Soccer Camps, where I played collegiate ball. I also organized, ran, and coached at the University of Miami while I was the Director of Operations.

I also have experience working as a personal trainer. And have done individual sessions, small sessions, and group training on and off for over 10 years.

I played professional soccer for the New Jersey Sky Blue, Philadelphia Independence, and the Bradenton Athletics for the W-League until an injury ended my career.

I played collegiate soccer at Penn State University from 2004-2007. During my time at PSU, we were ranked #1 team in the nation in 2006, competed in the Final Four and won 4 Big Ten Titles. I was the captain of the team, the offensive MVP, and the leading scorer for two seasons. I was also a two-time Academic All American, a First Team All Big Ten Selection, the leading scorer in the Big Ten Conference, the MVP of the Big Ten Tournament, and received numerous other person accolades.

I was roommates with US Soccer star defender Ali Krieger.

My main goal is to help you accomplish your goals at the same time that we have FUN, and I will tailor my sessions with this in mind. Before we do any training, we will talk about your goals and what you want to get out of the training and then we will come up with a plan together. I typically do positional training, meaning that I will spend time running drills that will help you in your specific position. For example, for forwards this means finishing and one-on-one attacking drills, but it will also include back to goal work as well as how to defend in the attacking third.

The typical schedule of a session is as follows: I start with a dynamic warm up and stretching, then move on to technical work to get as many touches on the ball as possible. From there we move on to specific positional training. I like to add a game or challenge toward the end of the session that will give you a chance to show off what you learned as well as have some fun. I finish with a cool down and stretch.

I also love to do fitness and conditioning work. If this is something you are interested in, then we will work this into the session. I have a lot of experience getting people in shape for fitness testing, etc. I believe that conditioning is a vital part of competing at the highest level, but I also believe that it should be a punishment. Fitness should be fun and challenging, and many times I will jump in the activities with you.
