More About Coach Mike

I have coached soccer at a variety of levels, including high school varsity, youth club, and college club in Ohio, Colorado, Oregon and Idaho. I am currently the Head Coach at Hilliard Bradley High School (Division 1 program in the OCC conference) for the boys varsity team.
- 4th season as Varsity Head Coach
- 5 seasons as an Assistant at the High School Varsity level for Division 1 programs.
- 2 seasons as Head Coach at the Club College level.
- 2 seasons as Head Coach at the High School JV level for Division 1 programs.
- 2 seasons an Assistant Coach at the Youth Club level.
- 1 season as Head Coach at the Youth Club level.

I played soccer from the age of 10 up through my early 30's, having recently retired from playing due to injuries. But I was lucky enough to have played for some phenomenal coaches, great teammates, and quality teams. I played varsity as a freshman and played club in Columbus, Ohio. After my adolescent years, I continued to play competitively for adult club teams and recreational leagues as I grew older.

While soccer is truly a team sport, it is critical that each individual player be as stout and well-rounded within their own game as possible. A strong team is one in which each of the 18 players is capable and sound in all facets of the game. Often times, young players find themselves only training within the structured atmosphere at organized team sessions. I highly recommend that players of all ages and abilities train on their own, whether alone in the backyard, with friends at a park, or 1 on 1 with a coach, all are imperative for improving.

In order for any player to upgrade their soccer ability, it is key that they become students of the game. I teach players to look at the sport as if it is an area of study, much like subjects in school. They must watch the game in a new way, view the game in a new way, and learn the game in a new way, which in turn will allow them to PLAY the game in a new way.

Coach Mike gave a great first lesson to my son (12). Mt son never had 1 on 1 classes before and tends to be a bit shy. Mike was amazing, my son felt comfortable and yet still pushed. He came home excited with everything he learned.

Mike did an incredible job with training my daughter. He is very patient and great at helping her understand what he is looking for her to do. He challenged her to use her weak foot more and in her next game she did great using both feet. Can’t wait to see the growth that will come from working with Coach Mike!!

We first met Coach Mike 2 years ago when our daughter joined the Liberty High School Girls JVB soccer team. During that time, we watched our daughter's confidence grow and her soccer skills improve tremendously. Mike is patient, kind and fiercely competitive, a balance that is unique in a coach.  He knows how to bring out the best in his players and offers them a supportive, nurturing environment in which to learn and grow.  He teaches his players not only how to make decisions for themselves but also how to learn from their mistakes and celebrate their successes. Coach Mike’s instruction emphasizes the value of leadership, teamwork, sportsmanship, strong work ethic, perseverance, and goal setting. These are all valuable "life lessons" that have served our child well, both on and off the field. He is an excellent role model to all of the young girls on his team.  We highly recommend him!" 
Session was great! My sons first task was to review himself like a scouting report. Really made him think about his strengths and weakenesses. Proceeded right into to drills and sent him home with “homework”. I can see an improvement after just one session. Looking forward to next session.” 
Coach Mike went above and beyond to help my daughter improve her soccer skills. He attended her soccer games and watched her game tape. He really listened to our concerns and tailored her sessions around her needs. He always made himself available for questions and offered great feedback. We saw immediate improvements with our daughter and she really enjoyed her sessions. We would most definitely recommend Coach Mike to anyone!”  
My daughter Tannyr grew leaps and bounds from Coach Mike's private soccer sessions. Her ball skills, speed, strength and agility increased at such a high rate that she was brought up from JV to varsity in the same season. My daughter had been playing competitive soccer since age 11 however, it only took a few sessions a week with coach Mike to hone her skills and bring her to a higher level of play. I was so impressed by her growth I asked Mike to train with me in the gym and I too saw immediate changes in my body training 3x a week with Mike and it only took 4 weeks to see major differences. Although, we live in different states now, the three of us bonded and created a lasting friendship as my daughter and I are honored to now consider coach Mike part of our family. Thank you, Mike, for always going above and beyond for your players and their family members.” - Sonja C.
