Jake McGuire

In 2021, I coached with North Carolina FC Youth boys and girls aged 11-18. I also was a trainer and scout for NWSL side, NC Courage at their Talent Identification Combine. Previously, I have also worked numerous camps including The University of Tulsa Talent ID Camps, The University of Tulsa youth camps, UC Irvine Talent ID Camps, Philadelphia Union youth camps, and goalkeeping specific camps with OGK Academy and MLS side Chivas USA. Lastly, I have experience mentoring athletes who went on to play professional soccer (USL Championship) and collegiate soccer at the NCAA Division I, Division II, and NAIA levels.

Current Professional Goalkeeper (2017-now)

I was the 30th Overall Pick in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft. I played for MLS side Philadelphia Union for two seasons, and also played games for their USL affiliate team, Bethlehem Steel (now Philadelphia Union II). I hold many goalkeeping records for the Bethlehem Steel including most shutouts, most saves, and best save percentage. After my time there, I played in Sweden for 2 years before coming back to the States to play for North Carolina FC and now for Miami FC in the USL Championship.

Before my time as a professional, I played NCAA Division I college soccer for The University of Tulsa (TU) where I was a 4-year starter, winning 3 Conference Championships all in penalty shootouts. I hold many goalkeeping records at TU as well including most shutouts, most saves, best save percentage, most games played, and most minutes played.

Lastly, my youth soccer experience was some of the best in the country. I started for MLS Academy side Chivas USA for 4 seasons where we were the 8th ranked team in the country and I was a Top 10 Recruit in the country for the Class of 2013. I was also part of the U-17 Men's National Team Residency Program (2010-2011) and U-20 Men's National Team (2012-2013).

My 1-on-1 sessions are 1 hour long and are typically 4 parts:
- Warm up and stretch/coordination exercises (5-10 min)
- Technical and/or agility exercises (10-15 min)
- Bulk work (30-40 min)
- Cool down and debrief of the session (5-10 min)
Please note that this is a rough estimate of what the sessions look like. I will make adjustments to the session plans with each individual player as I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all training structure. Some athletes like more technical exercises, and some like the fitness aspect of the sessions, so the timing may be different.
